Disney Escape VS. Swan & Dolphin Intimate

[KimviG]

Would anyone be willing to help me weigh the pros and cons of these two?

Swan/Dolphin:

-Bottom line is it's WAY cheaper than a DFTW, yet still elegant & beautiful-you can still have Mickey & Minnie, you can have as many guests as you wish, you can customize as much as you want, 3 beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, you are basically right on Disney property.....all for half the price of a DFTW!!

DFTW Escape:

-Maximum guest list of between 12-20 I think (depending on which ceremony site you choose) ....with additional charge for extra guests, it's pricier and there are more restrictions but you do get some perks that you would not get anywhere else, like eligibility for having a MK photo shoot, access to special reception sites, access to ordering specific WDW cuisine, and expanded choices for ceremony sites (including the GF Wedding Pavillion!)

We decided to go with the Swan/Dolphin for financial reasons and so far we are very happy with our choice and our planning. The ceremony site is really pretty & our planner has been wonderful & flexible with making this beautiful for us. We are also planning to have an Illuminations DP to have some special WDW magic touches!

With a DFTW you get annual passes for all 4 parks. I am not sure if you get that with a swan/dolphin wedding?

No, no AP with the S/D.....that might account for some of the price difference as well.

Thank you, I think I'm pretty settled with doing the Swan and the Blue Zoo, but I really wanted to have a DP as well.
