Hi All: I haven't posted on this thread for a long time, but we are once again planning a Food and Wine Festival visit! OUr dates are Sept 25 to Oct 2. The first two nights we are staying at BLT studio using expiring DVC points. We were then hoping to move to an EPCOT resort using a 30% discount code.
Well, those codes were released this morning to Disney Visa holders and even with the 30% discount we are talking about $340 per night. This morning I booked the Dolphin using a Teacher discount (I qualify) for $159 per night plus the $17 daily fee.
So, it looks like the Dolphin for us! A couple of questions.
1. If we decline the daily housekeeping for the $5 food voucher, will they still leave clean towels? I don't mind making my own bed each day, but don't like to reuse towels.
2. Should I continue to look for discounted rates or is $159 per night pretty much rock bottom?
3. Has anyone ever switched from a Disney hotel to the Dolphin or Swan? Is the easiest way to move to just grab a taxi? Any other suggestions?
THANKS in advance!
Donna
