Staying here soon with two young kids (4 and 6). Booked a Grand Deluxe and as an ALL Platinum, I'm trying to figure out the best block for logistics.

We want to prioritize convenience over views. Ideally, we’d like to avoid the steep climbs and long buggy waits as much as possible. We’ve heard Block 3 is the best location, but those seem to be the smaller Ocean rooms and I think we need the extra square footage of the Grand Deluxe (ideally Family Room, but these seem to be excluded from the upgrade pool).

Which blocks for the Grand Deluxe/Grand View are closest to the lobby/main pool and easiest to navigate on foot with small children? Also, any recent Plat experiences with the evening cocktail service in lieu of a lounge?
