Beach Club or Swan or Dolphin

[Terk-1]

Ok. I really need to stop doing this, since I'm driving myself crazy! I was at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, then decided to stay at the Beach Club, as I'll be spending most of my time at EPCOT for the Flower & Garden show. Well now I see you can get a great rate at either the Swan or Dolphin using a discount code and now am back on the fence again. This is a solo adult trip.

Which of these 3 resorts would you stay at and why? Did you have a bad experience at any of these? How is the service? If you stay at the Swan or Dolphin, do you feel like you're missing the "Disney" feeling?

I voted for the Beach Club. However, we like the S/D as well. Beach Club a little better, mainly because of Stormalong Bay. Now, if we could get a much better rate at the S/D, I might change my mind. It would have to save me about $400-500 for the whole trip before I'd change it.

Picked the Beach Club because of experience. We have never stayed at the Swan or Dolphin.

If you can get either the Swan or the Dolphin for $200 a night or less go for it. They are both great resorts and for $200 a night or less they cannot be beat.

I say Beach Club!

I can't believe the cost at the Beach Club? I got a rate of $372 per night there for early June. Does that sound about right?

We stayed at The Swan a couple of years ago for the nurses rate which at the time was $129/night. Let me tell you, for $129/night, that was one heck of a hotel. I still felt like I was on Disney property, they essentially offer the same type of services and you are in the Boardwalk area, which is great. It is most defintiely comparable to a deluxe Disney hotel.

I have also stayed at the BC and the BCV, and while they are great too, if you get the Swan at a better price, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Ask for a Heavenly Bed.

I've stayed at both the Swan and BC. Love BC better because of the atmosphere, the pool and the proximity to Epcot, but the Swan is nice. If I was going alone and the Swan was much cheaper, I'd take it over the BC. With the kids, I'd probably opt for that wonderful Stormalong Bay.
