Christmas Decorations at Swan/Dolphin?

[weluvpluto]

Do these hotels have nice holiday decorations?
Anyone have any pictures if they do?

I'm just trying to narrow down our choices for our December trip

We are trying to decide on a resort at Christmas, after we return from the Western Magic cruise. We are doing the Wilderness Lodge before the cruise, but need to find a place for check in Dec 24. I got a really good rate with the Dolphin, so that and these photos helped me decide on it, unless AP rates come out.

Good luck with your decision.

Yes, they are beautifully decorated. I don't have any pics to post though.

When we arrived January 3rd at the Swan they were starting to take decorations down. That evening DD-18 and I strolled over to the Dolphin and the lobby still had it's massive poinsettia tree with the train set and wooden soldiers and so forth. It was absolutely gorgeous....and it was GONE the next morning when we brought DH, DS and DIL and 2 grandbabies over to see it The elves had come in the night!

Next year we will be there for Christmas...I'm so excited!!

The Swan has a lovely gingerbread house display near the exit headed towards the boat landing. It's just beautiful and the detail on the houses is lovely. Also, there is a huge tree right outside that exit completely decorated. It's very, very festive.

We stay at the BWV during early December and always take a stroll around Crescent Lake on arrival day. We stop in the lobbies of all the hotels to see the Christmas decorations - BC, YC, Dolphin, Swan, BW and we even walk back to the comon rooms of the BCV.

As mentioned, the Dolphin has a GIANT toy train filled with gifts that travels around a HUMONGOUS tree. Believe Santa occasionally makes a vist there as well. Love the life size tioy ssoldiers, too.

As also mentioned, the Swan has a wonderful ginderbread town display. Even now, I can smell the gingerbread.

The other hotels all have beautiful displays, too - well worth the short walk around the lake to see. Of course, our favorite is the BW, LOL., but no matter where on site you stay, you won't be disappointed,

Best wishes -
