Does this always happen at the Swoplphin?

We spent the night of July 4th at the Dolphin (it was a crazy, last-minute, one-day trip for the the 4th - we drove down on the 3rd, spent that night at the Day's Inn, Epcot for the 4th, the Dolphin for the night, and back home again on the 5th).

We checked in first thing that morning and our room was ready, so we had use of it all day on the 4th. We walked back in the middle of the afternoon to have a swim. Should have taken the boat - we were about to die of heat stroke by the time we finished dragging our pathetic bodies back.

By the boat dock between the hotels, there was a CM with tables set up with popcicles and cold bottled water, which he was giving out for free to everyone who walked by. It was like manna from heaven at that moment, and I'm sure there were other people like us, close to heat exhaustion, who very much appreciated it.

When we came back down to the boat dock a couple of hours later, the tables were gone.

Is this something they do all the time, or just on special (and very hot) occasions?

Those hotels always seem to do a little extra for guests. What a nice idea!

at Christmastime they were giving out candy canes and hot cocoa. What a sweet hotel! I love the Swan and Dolphin!

Never happened to me when I stayed there. But, I haven't stayed there during the summer before.

At the end of last Dec. they were handing out coffee and bottled water when we hopped the boats to Epcot and MGM.

I love the dolphin - we were treated to hot chocolate over Christmas week a welcome warmth as it was cold some evenings. They also had a terrific tree lighting ceremony and free cookie decorating for the kids each evening.

Yes, they do it all the time.
