They replenish the room each day (4x bottles) but other than that I did not see any way to get free water. I bought a case of water at a store between the airport and hotel.

Restaurant Question: I'm nervous about dinner options since i will be there during the week of Dec 27-Jan 1. I tried to make reservations six weeks in advance and every restaurant that accepts reservations was booked through January 2nd (except for Sugar Factory).
Any advice on what the best options will be for a family of four? Are we stuck with the Buffet every night, or do the restaurants save space for walk-ins?
Thanks in advance!

I'll be staying at the hotel later this month so I don't have much more information other than what I've spoken to the concierge about.

I was hoping someone can provide any advice or experience on pool chairs and how early people go down to reserve them with towels. I've read on some forums that this is a pretty big problem with this resort.
I've booked a cabana just in case, but if we will have no problems finding a chair by the pool, I'd rather not pay for this luxury! Happy to hear peoples thoughts on this!
Also, wondering if people had thoughts around whether booking the flamingo meet & greet was worth it? Or if the complimentary 'parade' twice a day is good enough?

Staying over the week between Christmas and new year’s and have a grand suite king booked on points. Was told by the hotel that this room can accommodate two young children as well (even though it doesn’t show when booking online) but curious two hear about others experiences with roll away beds in suites. I can also book a second king room but assume odds are slim to none that they would be adjacent or connecting rooms.
Would love any feedback re: the Grand Suite King with young kids. (Seems some have two chairs instead of the sofa which wouldn’t work for sleeping).
Thanks!

Mine are 9 and 6, so basically the same. I confirmed this twice with the hotel, once at booking and once just a couple of weeks ago. If they tell me there’s a problem at check in, then I will be pretty upset and sure hope they have an alternative for us.

Hi! Please let us know how this goes as I (and prob many others) are in a similar boat. I've done 5 says here now (none with kids) and I find it so odd that they did not build any suites to accommodate kids.

I called again tonight to triple confirm. The WoH rep told me they confirmed with the hotel on site, that two roll away beds are requested, and basically said to stop worrying. We shall see…I’m praying that more rooms continue to become available so we have a fallback plan. I’d even be willing to fork out another 20k points/night if we could get one of the adjoining grand suite/queen rooms guaranteed. Man I hate traveling during peak times!
