Typhoon Lagoon- Clamshell Beds

I was looking into booking either Getaway Glen or a Beachcomber Shack at Typhoon Lagoon and stumbled upon these new premium spaces available for rent. They were introduced following the parks most recent refurb. Only thing is... I cant find any other details on them! The only detail I can find is that they are located near the Super Cabana over by Crush ‘N’ Gusher and each bed features a mini beach area with a drink table. I cant find a single photo of these anywhere. I haven't phoned Disney yet but was wondering if any dibbers have any info/experience of these?

Lots of mentions of these on various websites reporting on refurbishments that have been done recently but no photos or prices. Would be interested to find out more as may decide to cancel Getaway Glen in favour of these.

I wouldn't book one - we had the castaway glen umbrella and chairs this week and it was perfect. The clambed shell things are basically those round garden beds with a pull up hood which reminds me of a pram hood...
They were also on a main walkway whereas the castaway glen is tucked away yet sooooo close to the food and drink refill stations plus right by a lazy river stop.

Brilliant Elsasgloves, that's the kind of insight I was looking for. Getaway Glen it is then! Thank you.

No idea why I've written castaway when it's clearly getaway! Must be getting confused with disney's private island on the cruise line I think!
Yes, getaway glen is perfect and definitely worth the extra few quid
