Swan/Dolphin ?s for newbie...long

[Kristaia]

1. Which of these resorts is the Westin. I understood it to be the swan, wrong?
2. Does anyone have any information on the DCL special rate when going on a cruise?
3. Ooh, heavenly beds, love them, where are they. Daughter had a heavenly crib in San Diego and slept better than ever.
4. Can DU travel help with any of these discounts given by Starwood or are they only directly through website. In other words will they match prices, amenities, etc.
5. What benefits do I get for MK through staying at S/d?

We are only at WDW for 2-nights in October, prior to 7-night cruise.
Thank you for all of your responses ahead of time.

Kristaia, Arrow down to Swan/Dolphin FAQs on this board and I think all of your questions will be answered.

1. The Swan is a Westin, the Dolphin is a Sheraton

2. I believe the S/D rate is $149 in conjunction with a Disney Cruise

3. The club level rooms have heavenly beds. Not sure if any other rooms have them at this time

4. Yes, Dreams Unlimited can get the same prices and amenities as calling the S/D directly

5. You get almost all the same benefits at WDW as you would if you stayed at any Disney resort, with a few exceptions. You can't charge food or merchandise at the parks to your S/D room key - though you can charge from the restaurants or shops at the hotel. There are no Mickey wake-up calls or Mickey bar soap at the S/D - but you will get equally nice soaps, shampoo, and lotion.

Thanks so much Nancy. I had been pouring through the other S/D posts and could not find these answers.
