Choice between Dolphin and CSR. What should I do?

[Poohy]

I have CSR booked for June 22-June 28 for $104/night. I just checked on the Dolphin for the same week. A lake view room is 147.50/night and club level is $202.50/night. Any suggestions on which way I should go. Thanks in advance.

Well if money is not an issue I would always choose a deluxe over a mod and the Dolphin for its great location alone.

I've stayed at CSR and loved it, HOWEVER I am staying at the Dolphin for the first time in the near future. We decided on it because of the great rate we got and the location. Coronado Springs is a wonderful resort but we thought we'd try something new since we had been waiting forever on AP rates to come out and didn't want to leave it any longer.

Wow that is quite a difference in Price... usually people want to know which Delux or which Mod. I too would say if Price is not a concern that you should go with the Delux. But I would say stay at the Swan and get the "Heavenly Bed". The bonus of staying at the Swan/dolphin is that the location is soooooo perfect!!!

We've stayed at Coronado Springs, as well as the Dolphin and the Swan.

If you can swing it, go with the Dolphin! You are comparing a moderate resort to a deluxe! And the location of the Dolphin is spectacular!

CSR is still very nice, and in my opinion, the best of all the Disney moderates.

But for me, I'll always choose the Dolphin or Swan over CSR.

I can get a teachers rate at the Swan or a Fla resident athe the CSR, I have two 5 years old traveling and I thought the pool and the food court would be better at the CS. But the location for the 3 grandparents can't be beat at Swan. Is there a food center at the Swan to get some quick eats for the kids? You know kids, they have their own timetable for eating.

There are only dine-in restaurants at the Swan, but the Dolphin has a 24hr "buffeteria" cafeteria style which is great for the kids. I've stayed at both the Swan & Dolphin and felt the Dolphin was much better for kids, though the heavenly beds at the Swan might be worth the switch.
