Gotta love those fairies!
I used to love those fairies. Until I've spent 4 hrs and 45 minutes waiting in line (over three different times). Actually, who can resist Tinkerbell??? She's adorable!
The only way to stay at a Disney owned properties within walking distance of any of the four theme parks is to stay at a deluxe resort. No way are you going to find a $120 rate at ANY Disney deluxe resort at WDW. To stay at the Swan/Dolphin, you are really paying to stay at the prime location next to the Boardwalk and within walking distance of EPCOT and DHS. As far as the property itself, it's not exactly a dump. The grotto pool area is as good as any Disney owned property and the collection of restaurants (Bluezoo, Kimonos, Fresh, Garden Grill, Shulas, etc.) is as good as any Disney property as well. Also, as you pointed out, the heavenly beds at the Swan/Dolphin blow away the beds at any of the Disney resorts. Sure, the non-view rooms have a horrible view...but if you're are spending alot of time in your room at WDW, you are missing out.
Oh, believe me, I know this. I've stayed all levels of Disney property, but decided to go "off property" while staying on..... I'm a Disney girl. And as much as I love the location, I missed the Disney inside the Mahi Mahi. And I don't mean Mickey on every available wall space, I mean theming. We were just at WL this weekend and it was so beautiful inside. And just about the only Mickey I saw was in the gift shop. But to me the Mahi Mahi is a hotel. Even Pop Century had more character for me.....
LOVE those shirts!!
