And here's a live report from the Swan!

[jwfla422]

I just love this place and even more, I love coming back to my comfy heavenly bed and cozy room here at the Swan. The CMs here are just more than wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

We spend a lot of time today the fairly busy MK. I could tell it was busy because we waited about 15 minutes for lunch at the Plaza with PS. Usually it's a walk in, sit down, but we are spoiled. The morning was great for anyone trying to avoid the lines, but they started around 11.

They had record breaking heat today, 85 for a high but that's about to end with a pretty hefty cold front. Just about will break 60 on Sunday - I know you're all laughing but 60 feels pretty chilly after it being 85! (we're wimpy South Floridians when it comes to weather anyway) AND, in the 30s for tomorrow night YIKES!! But that won't stop our fun!!

Went to MGM yesterday. Found it very bearable, but this was around and after parade time.

Tomorrow it's off to AK. I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, having a blast. It's getting quite nippy out there this afternoon, 30s for tonight!! That's pretty chilly when the wind starts blowing! Especially after the 85 degree record yesterday!!

I must say-this probably should go on the restaurant board, but since it's Swan/Dolphin related, we had an AWESOME breakfast at FRESH this morning-highly recommend for breakfast buffet. Everything is just soooo FRESH!! HE HE!!!

And our server at Palio last night was a hoot. My dd just loved him, he kept her entertained all night with his cute jokes (she's 5)..so anyone to think that Palio is "adults only" -that soo is not the case!! Our dinner was extremely delicious!! I will post a review when we get back on the restaurant board.

Hi jwfla422
Thanks so much for taking the time to post live from the Swan. It has become one of my favorites after staying there for the first time last Dec. I will be watching for your dining reviews and hope to read another post from you live from the Swan. Hope the rest of your trip is full of Disney Magic!

Your buddy,

Snow, Snow go away, sending some snow meltin pixie dust your way!! HEY BURKE!!! Sent you a PM.

Yes, the Swan is definitely our number one favorite. Just can't beat the beautifully done renovated rooms, the extremely bend over backwards, do anything we can for ya, we want you to leave remembering how great your stay with us was "staff" and of course the outstanding location not to mention great restaurants. Have I said, I LOVE THIS PLACE...oh ok, maybe I've said it a few times already!!!

It's a chilly night here at Disney, it's funny seeing the CMs at the other resorts with their coats and hats! It's darn nippy!! It's our last night here and here I am at the computer while my wipped out dh and dd snoozing away (which is what I plan to do shortly).

Tonight we took a ride over to the WL for a change of pace and had a fabulous dinner at AP. I was kinda looking forward to sitting by the fireplace there, what a perfect night for it, but it was a very busy night in that lobby, those rockers were all taken, boo hoo! My dd watched some of the Mickey toons on the tv near the bell stand so we relaxed in those nice comfy chairs. A nice CM came out and gave my dd a balloon, that was so sweet!! Our waiter at dinner presented her with a certificate of magic for her Mickey picture that she colored in. They hang up the pictures and have the kids write their names and where their from on them. It's cute.

It was nice to come back to our comfy room here at the Swan. We've stayed at WL but I just have to say the rooms here can't be beat!!

Well, have to start packing up. We head back home tomorrow but that's the way it goes. Our trips are short but at least we get to be a part of the magic a few times a year, can't complain about that!! And, our stay at the Swan has been TRUELY MAGICAL!! Thanks to all the CMs for making our stay so wonderful and comfortable!! Blondie I don't see a trip planned yet??? Any coming up? Everyone else, stay warm!!
