From what I can tell from reading this post and some others is that as a Diamond I am entitled to the BEST available room when I check-in...If the "Presidential Suite" is open I would get that???

Also from reading posts it appears that I would rather NOT get RC access and just get the breakfast coupons?

I would appreciate any info that might be offered.

I plan on checking in and NOT asking for ANYTHING special just to see what is actually offered to me...from reading these posts it sounds like I might not be offered ANYTHING and it's also possible that I might be given the royal treatment.

Thanks again.
Not quite. You are entitled to a Regency Club room "if available." If not, you are entitled to the "next best available" room, which usually means a better view. It does not mean a suite, and I would be very surprised if you eneded up in one.

IMHO, with the two children you are better off with the Swan Court breakfast coupons. Upgrade to full "brunch" late in the morning, and they will be set until dinner. Some would disagree with my opinion, but I have taken my kids there many times. The last time we had the coupons AND RC access, and used the coupons. I don't know about your kids, but mine are not permitted to suck up cocktails, which is the main reason RC access might be preferable.
