Official word on teacher rate at the Swan/Dolphin

[glo]

The teacher rate is not being phased out. There are times when the hotel will not offer it because of high occupancy, as in conventions or peak season, but there is no plans of eliminating the discount.

That is great news! Thank you Swan & Dolphin!!!!!! Our teachers work way too hard and get paid way too little - an affordable rate at a fabulous hotel for teachers well deserved.

I was starting to think that this was going to be our first and last time at the Dolphin! Glad to hear it ain't so!!!

Thanks, glo, from someone who loves her profession and loved, even more, that a business recognizes us!

What is the teacher rate? Is it for any teacher or just FL teachers? My son's 3rd grade teacher goes to Disney every year and stays at All Star's. I bet if he knew about this option he would jump on it.

Good News!! Although we love the YC, maybe one day I'll take advantage of this discount!!

Teacher rate is offered to working teachers, you must bring in proof, as in a pay stub, school ID, or employment letter on official school letterhead. The discount right now is split, the teacher discount at the newly renovated Swan is $144 a night, and $129 a night at the Dolphin. I am sure the Dolphin rate will go up when it is fully renovated.

Thank you Glo for giving us the good news! I am very glad that the Swan/Dolphin isn't planning to phase out their nurse/teacher discount. It was very nice to get recognition and a great rate. This is a vacation perk we can really use during our high-season-only vacation times!

Thanks Glo, for the wonderful news. The teacher rate is the reason we were able to go at Christmas last year.

That is great news. How smart you were to go start to the decision-makers and inquire.

Thanks.

Great news, Glo!!! Thank you for finding the "official" answer on this. Now I don't have to try and decide on another resort for next June! Phew!


Wonder when the Dolphin renovations will be finished.........possibly June 11th???

This info is worth a bump from Page Two!!

Kitty renovations at the Dolphin are due to be completed in the first quarter of 2004

My DH is a College Prof.
He absolutley loves the Dolphin.

We plan our next magical adventure Easter week
2005. Hey school vacations is the only time
he can go.

We'll pay the extra $$'s to try one of those
Heavenly Beds, new furniture and carpets.

Glad to hear the teacher rates are here to stay and the
Dolpin renovations will be complete for 2005.

Maybe our DS & DD (ages 13 & 10) will fall asleep fast
together in the same Heavenly Beds without any
fussing.

Do you know if the rate can be used by substitute teachers? I have a school id and I get a paycheck but the hours vary.

I'm a substitute teacher and I will be going to the Dolphin for the 3rd time next June. I took my paystub and Subbing permit down with me. No problem.

Thank you for the information Kitty

If I brought a copy of my state certification would that work at check-in?

 

[swilphil]

I was told by the Dolphin desk that I could bring a copy of my "degree." I asked if my teaching certificate would be okay, and they said yes. I ended up bring a pay stub, so you might call and ask.
