No one that I knew or talked to did take them up on the refund and I am hopeful that not many did. Though, I was also of the group that stayed behind on the train instead of jumping to the regular, which I would guess about 1/3 of us stayed on the train. I agree with some of the others that have posted here, the only complaint was being on the train the whole time while others got to wonder around Cresco. The two coaches were pretty full and I was doubled up with a friend on the sunny side of the coach. At least when we backed to the siding there was shade. But other than that minor complain, I think the crews handled the long and challenging day wonderfully!
