We're staying at the GCH in May. For our family (2 kids), the bunk bed room configuration is ideal. But you can only request that as a preference, they don't actually reserve specific room types for you.
We stayed at the GCH in 9/04, and had put in the request for the bunk beds for that trip when we first made the reservation, reinforced that when we called a week or so before our trip, and then arranged our flight so that we were checking in by mid-afternoon, a little ahead of the when the official check in. We still initially got aced out of a bunk bed room. The best they could do is switch us after our first night, which was a big, fat hassle.
Since then, I read somewhere - and I think it was on this board - about a way you can call the GCH directly the night before your stay, or maybe it was the morning of, and in essence do an early check-in over the phone when they are first making room assignments for the day. Does that ring any bells with anyone? If yes, I'd love to hear about it again.
