OP, we did a 2wk trip out west this summer too. For months I had considered doing the Railway pkg with the hotel (thanks Tripadvisor, lol), but in the end we decided to save some $ and just stay in the park at the Yavapai Lodge (which I recommend if anyone’s interested). As far as the GC, we had our own Clark Griswald/Wally World moment as well. It was a bucket list item and glad we did it, but I doubt we’ll ever go back. Your review makes me feel better that we ditched the train pkg because for awile I was feeling sad we didn’t do it. Sorry it was so disappointing for you.
