I stayed at the Swan last 12/27-1/02/04 and was able to use teacher's discount.($149, but we upgraded to CL for $214). It is the only property hotel(along with Dolphin that had any discounts at that time). We made reservations in previous september through Your Magical Journeys. Discount for other WDW hotels required a check-in on or before 12/23 for any AP or other discount. We loved the Swan, we are DVC members and rented our points and stayed there for the convenience during the busy holiday week.
