Swan- Dolphin or does it matter?

[scottmik2]

Scottmik2, thanks for asking. I had the same question.

Thanks to everyone that helped out. We booked the Dolphin for The week after Thanksgiving. 8000 pets per night.
Now a few challenges I'm not used to.
1. What is the best way to get to the hotel with a baby? Does Uber have car seats?
2. Do we bring a playpen, rent a crib or buy something at a Walmart?
3. Without a Garden Grocer where do people get food delivered from?
4. Is it worth getting magic bands?

@scottmik2 My nephew traveled with his 2 year-old and 6 month-old daughters in September, and this is what they did.

They gate-checked a Pack & Play portable playpen for the baby to sleep in. They used FL Tours and got a towncar that included a half-hour grocery stop on the way from the airport to the resort. FL Tours will include one or two car seats and runs around $80 round trip.

It is not worth purchasing Magic Bands IMO. As a guest of the Swan/Dolphin, the only things that you can use the bands for are park tickets and Fastpasses. I purchased a lanyard with a zip top plastic pouch (from Home Depot) and keep my room key and park ticket in it. I don’t like anything tight on my wrist so I have no desire to wear an MB.

You can look on the Transportation forum here for more info on FL Tours. The $80 round trip price is a deal since you get a car seat and a supermarket sweep. Uber X or Black will cost a bit less, but will not include the supermarket stop.
