Ann-Unfortunately I don’t think they will open any more rooms. I’ll definitely announce it if they do-but they said that today would be the final rooms they’d open.

Actually, we got in trouble for going down the slide with our toddlers, they really need to go down on thier own. We did one parent at each end of the slide for our 3 year old. It’s still pretty fun with a 15 month old (did it with my son at that age). The wave pool is great. He just can’t do the waterslides. I would take a toddler again, no problem (especially great if it’s one kid to two parents – then you can take turns going down the waterslides!). Enjoy!
P.S. they provide the life vests, so leave the arm floaties at home!

Brandie- The NW Blogger group is not able to add more rooms as it is not a group reservation that we have made. This is a special discounted rate that GWL has graciously offered to NW deal blog readers. But it is only available thru September 14th & only on a limited number of rooms. Many readers are already signing up, so it may fill up quickly.

I don’t know how it works exactly at GWL, but I would think that all you would need to put down is a deposit & then pay the rest when you arrive. I could be wrong, though. But, maybe that option would work for you.

Would NW Blogger be willing to add more rooms closer to the deadline? I have to wait till then as my hubby gets his bonus around the middle of September. I’ve booked a group before, and around the deadline if you need to add more rooms, they allow that providing there are rooms available.

Thanks Jen for posting this! I booked both nights. Ironically we just drove by there this past weekend and we talked about how we should really go but it’s so expensive and I said too bad there’s not a coupon to go!

Love all these tips, thank you!!

Just thought I’d share some handy tips we’ve picked up along the way . . . bring your own food/snacks (lunch stuff, fruit, yogurts, instant oatmeal), as they have fridges/microwaves in the rooms and the restaurants and snack bars are very expensive. When we leave our hotel room and go downstairs to the waterpark, we pack a big beachbag of food, water bottles, etc. to keep poolside. Also, the morning of your departure, check out of the rooms early and put your stuff in the car, but go back and play ALL day inside the water park – they have lockers and a lockerroom so you can change. (our first trip we thought we had to leave the park at the 11a.m. check-out and missed out on another full day of playing) I’ve also just learned you can check in early to swim even before you’re room’s ready.

Kristen, we’ve gone to GWL several times and always with a baby. It’s super fun for all ages, really! There is a humongous toddler play area so my hubby and I always trade off, one staying with the baby and one going with the older kids. They provide racks and racks of floaty/safety vests for babies on up if you want to try them out or have non-swimmers (like my 5-yr old). And there are lifeguards everywhere, switched out almost every 1/2 hour it seems (2 dedicated just to the baby area). There is a *free* nighttime story that’s all huge animatronic figures and feels like disneyland – definitely captivating for lttle ones. Hope this helps!

I checked their website and it looks like you can get the wrist band for the waterpark at 1pm even though check in isn’t until 4pm and it’s good the day of check-in until the closing of the waterpark the day you check-out.

I found this information on their website

Gushin’ Geyser
The little ones squeal as the volcano “erupts” with a spray of water. They can safely toddle along the rubber no-slip surface, exploring the spray-and-play features, or wade into the zero-depth entry kiddie pool with a maximum depth of one foot.

They also have smaller waterslides that you can go down with a toddler.

Shannon – I just clarified with my contact for GWL and she said that the Family Suite actually sleeps 6 – 2 queen beds & a pullout couch. It does come with 4 waterpark passes, but childen 2 & under are free, and if extra waterpark passes are needed, you could pay a small extra fee for that. You would just need to call Guest Reservations & mention this code & have them figure it all out for you.

If you have larger families that wouldn’t fit into a family suite, you can call Guest Reservations & they can work out the difference for a larger room based on this discounted price. So, definitely call them to see which larger rooms are available – although she did say that they have a limited number of the larger rooms available thru this promotion, so I’d call fairly soon!

Does anyone know if this place is toddler (will be 15months come October) friendly ? Or just older kids?

What if we are a family of 5? Is there still a deal?
