    Swan and Dolphin - 1 night at CB 1st.....worth it?

    I am staying at the Swan and will be taking the Super Shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I only need it one way and it is cheap. I paid $18. Depending on the size of your party it's not that expensive to get transportation to the Swan and then you don't have to pay for parking either. I do...

    The **New** Swan and Dolphin Resort thread ~ April 2012 ~ Please read post #1

    I too am sooooo tired of this winter! We have a trip planned for Mar 12th-16th at the Swan. I just can't wait to get out of the NE tundra and into the sun and warmth. We stayed several years ago, but I can't remember how to request the room we had 3 years ago. There were several discussions...

    Resort Mugs changing in January

    When we were in Disney in August, the deluxe resorts didn't have rapid refill mugs. The deluxe had the pink and purple. We stayed at the POR and we're offered green or orange which were rapid refill. Did Disney install the raid refills at the deluxe hotes yet? Or is rapid refill still only at...

    March 2014 Discounts

    We have a wedding in WDW March 15th. The rates are all really high, even the rates from the Disney wedding planners. Are there any discounts announced for this time. We need the EPCOT area resort. Even the Swan is full rack rate.

    Aghh!!! WDW "expert" so confused with DL!

    We are also WDW vets and have visited DL a handful of times. We took our children 12 and 15 (at the time) for 5 days in Feb 11', stayed at HOJO, and had a blast. It was our children's 1st memorable trip. Going for 5 days makes it a nice laid back paced trip. Allowing us time to go to DTD, have a...

    Candy Cane Inn room request

    Thank you for your advice! I meant the queen room, one step up from standard. I have forgotten what it's called already. We are very excited to stay here because of all the nice things we have heard. It's nice to hear that there's no real need for a room request. We are WDW vetarns and have only...

    We just stayed at the Swan for 3 nights the end of April and loved it. We did turn down service which was turning down the bed and closing the curtains. There was no chocolates. Is that normal? We were celebrating our 28th Anniversary and had a lovely stay, but no strawberries or anything...

    DH wants to upgrade! Yay!

    That is wonderful! I have stayed at SSR and WL, but never AKL. I have been to the AKL and it's beautiful, but like SSR it's land locked. You have to always get on a bus. We have stayed at the WL twice and LOVE it. It's a quick boat ride to the MK and buses to the others. We also think Roaring...

    I found the direction how to request the alcove room on this thread. It was towards the beginning. Try around page 4. The room had 4 windows and tons of space. I will try and figure out how to upload our pics. The room was so nice that it was hard to leave it?

    Need help with little surprises during trip

    I always do the dollar store and gets treats. Last year I found light-up crowns with boa feathers (so pretty). On top of lots of neat little treats, I also get the decal/gels and decorate the room (I generally stick to the mirrors). I wait till everyone leaves and I sneak in and decorate. The...
