Hi everyone. I have been reading DIS Boards for several months now, but this is my first post!! I am very excited about my upcoming trip to the WDW Swan. I have stayed at the Yacht and Beach Club many times and absolutely love it, but the Annual Passholder rates at the S/D were just too good. I have a few questions that I hope everyone can help me with.
1. Never having stayed at the Swan (and really only be familiar wtih the YC & the Contemporary), I ham a little apprehensive about the S/D--are they as great as the Disney resorts?
2. We have a king-size lake-view room at the Swan, but we would love a great view and also not be too far from the lobby/elevators (last time we were at the YC, we were so far from the main lobby that it was a 10 minute hike every morning!). Is there a particular view or room area that I should ask for at the Swan?
3. On to the parks... I noticed that the park hours say that Blizzard Beach is closing on the 26th. On another board, I saw November for close date. We are arriving on the 29th and have never been to Blizzard Beach and would really love to go. Does anyone know for sure when it is closing?
4. My husband and I are in our mid-20's and are debating whether we should do MNSSH. We probably wouldn't be in to doing costumes, but since the parks are closing early during our vacation we are looking for some extra ride time and would like to see the parages and decorations. Are there really a lot of rides open during the Halloween party or is it mainly trick-or-treating? Is the Halloween party worth it for us or is it more for kids?
I am sorry thatmy first post is such a long one, but I really appreciate any advice or ideas you all can give me. Thanks so much!!
