Hi,

Looking for some help for a w/e in January. Got a great fare today from NJ and I want to suprise DW with a relaxing getaway. I read the other posts and some great suggestions for things to do and dining but where would you pick to stay.
We love Epcot so we like the convenience from Boardwalk and Beach Club but have stayed here a few times. I was thinking of how nice the Wilderness Lodge would be to sit by the fire on a cool night or AKV with a savannah few when waking in the morning.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you love Epcot, would you consider the Swan or Dolphin? Swan is a Westin property and Dolphin is Sheraton and they usually have decent rates, particularly if you join the Starwood Preferred Guest club. They have great ambiance, terrific beds, great dining, anda great spa. We love to stay at either as we can walk to Epcot, hang out on the Boardwalk area, etc. There's a bit of the Disney flavor but not overdone - and you have Disney transportation and EMH. You just can't charge to your room.

I liked WL, nice lounge in there, but found the rooms to be a bit small and not as nicely appointed as say, the Beach Club.

Thanks for the info. I always forget about Swan and Dolphin but they do seem like good options for this trip.
