Just returned from a split stay Dolphin then Contemporary Garden Wing (deluxe the elbow room). Me, husband, 4yo and 2.5yo (great sleepers at home). Our setup at the Dolphin was a double room connected to a King and it was an absolute circus with our 2.5yo. She would not stay in her bed. Kept climbing into her brothers bed and having a party...running around both rooms etc. It was a nightmare. We ended up having my husband and daughter sleep in the doubles and my son and I in the king. It was clear the two kids could not be in the same room with each other if anyone was going to sleep. So when we transferred to the Contemporary aka a shared sleeping space we were not looking forward to it. Got to our room around after 4 and tried to get the kids to nap and it wasn’t happening. My husband and I were so defeated to the point I was looking to switch our flights home early or to book another room to separate the kids. You know how people say at the end of the day your kids will sleep anywhere they’ll be so tired? Not true with my daughter!! And she rallied her brother to join the party. My husband called down to the front desk asking if there was connecting rooms or any separate room we could book, basically anywhere on Disney property. Anything with a door to create separation. The CM must have heard the desperation in his voice because she offered us a hospitality suite (for what we considered a small extra nightly fee for what it was). It was amazing! Took some pics, hopefully I attach them correctly. We were all able to sleep, but wow this was not something I prepared for. It was so stressful and we are so grateful to the CM who helped us.
