Just back-10 days at Swan

[jgates]

But now I'm home..........oh, well.

10 nites @ Swan- departed on 8/1. Room 1262 - view of back of Boardwalk buildings - MGM & TofT to right. Fountain below us.

I don't think I can think of one bad thing to say about that place. It was great being so close to 2 parks. My kids thought it was wild that this was the first continental breakfast that we ate off 'real plates & silverware' - no styrofoam & paper. (Royal Beach Club level)

Didn't get to meet SwanDolphin-they didn't know if he was in when we left a pkg for him at front desk. Did get to meet Mama T-she's the greatest.

Why is there a grand piano in the room across the hall?

PS, used our 10 day worldpasses from Paramount- worked like a charm.

So glad to hear a good review. We had the same view last year and were in awe of just how "Disney" this place is. So glad to hear you had the same experience, also glad to hear abou the World Pass (although I was too nervous to get myself one). We'll be in the World next week, I can't wait!

Welcome home!

The Swan and Dolphin have become two of our favorite resorts.

What is a world/paramount pass?

You should be able to find threads on the 'Budget Board' but I haven't stopped in there yet since we just got back Sunday nite. I'm supposed to be getting stuff ready to freeze corn tomorrow but snuck in here first!

These are designed & were originally only sold in Europe. I did try to order by phone and it she said they were for Brazil or somewhere but when I placed order via web it went right thru and came by 2 day UPS delivery (signature required). Did have to fax credit card authorizaiton.

The Disney gal at the resort when I purchased e-nite tickets said that they were a heck of a deal.

(Florida Fun in Sun look good too but from what I understand you couldn't order those in the US at all).
