Epcot bound-wilderness lodge or Swan/Dolphin?

[Chris M]

My "older"parents have never been big on Disney parks so for our very short day and a half planned stay at WDW (mostly going for a wedding) I was thinking epcot would be best. I have booked the wilderness lodge because it is reasonably priced for a deluxe hotel. I thought the boat rides to MK would be nice but not sure we will even make it there in the short time we have. Would the Dolphin or Swam be a better choice......more adult like.....easier to get to epcot and downtown disney?

I will be renting a car since I am driving to a wedding afterwards. So I won't use the magic express. Another recommendation for adults?

The Swan would be a very nice choice, and reasonably priced also - are you a nurse or a teacher? There are discounted rates, if so. The Swan is supposed to be the more "mature" of the 2 whimsical hotels. I have stayed at the Dolphin and toured the Swan, and I must say that both have a less than "Disney" feel, but are really beautiful all the same, just not as themed as the others, so your parents might actually enjoy that better. Having stayed at both the WL and the Dolphin, I would say the S/D are much more suited for adults with the Boardwalk right there with all of it's great restaurants and just a really nice area to stroll along at night, EPCOT and the Studios are just a boat ride/walk away, also with great restaurants. That would definitely be my pick!!!

I would choose the Swan. Location, location, location!!!
