We got a great deal on our room by using the promo code on GWL's website. Click on the words above to be taken straight to their deals page. The room was awesome! The kids had their own space, plus a nightlight built in at the head of each bunkbed and their own tv. The blankets on the children's beds were incredibly soft. Far above anything we have encountered before. There is an additional vanity that makes mornings a little easier. Fridge and microwave are included, with ample space, as well as a small dining area, which unfortunately only had to chairs.
Every time we go on a trip, we make sure to bring a noise machine and some room snacks. The noise machine helps us get to sleep, and the snacks help us out when the kids get hungry late at night. We always have popcorn, instant hot chocolate, and oatmeal/macaroni cups on hand for those times.
Food
Here's a quick look at the breakfast buffet at Great Wolf Lodge Campfire Kitchen. You'll find all your favorites, like eggs, bacon, sausage, and waffles. Plus, there are plenty of healthy options like yogurt and fresh fruit. The menu for the eatery, Buckets, in the hotel's water park, is also included.
The Walk From GWL to MOA
The distance is about half of a mile, and takes approximately 15 minutes. For seasoned walkers or Disney goers, this is doable. With the use of the direct transit Light Rail, one could even avoid purchasing a rental car if they so desired.
However in extreme weather conditions or upon untrained feet after a day of walking the length of a mile long mall, laded with your new treasures, it would not be advised.
