Swan or Dolphin?

[higgy66]

Hi there

After finally reading up on all the resorts and also looking at some great pictures on here I've finally decided on the Swan or Dolphin for our trip Sept 09.

There will be me, DH, DD6 & DD5 (ages when travelling)

Which would you choose and why?

After walking around all day I would prefer the resort nearest to the parks so we can go for a stroll on an evening rather than catching a bus. The girls are getting too big to carry!

Any advice/tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Dolphin

Closer to the pool, picabu is downstairs as well as the kids club which you can use two hours free if you dine in one of the rest. Just more fun to me with the lobby, sugar3, arcade, etc.

Dolphin - Ditto above.
Picabu is in the Dolphin resort - 24 hour food and refillable mugs.
Dolphin closest to the Grotto and kiddie pool (if you need it)
Buses right out front of the door, so are taxi's.
Boat dock right doiwn the stairs, escalators and elevators (not sure where they are located to the lower level, but I am sure they are there).
Boat will take you to EPCOT and DHS.

We love the Dolphin.

Yup, Dolphin. there is more to the lobby. More activity and stuff. I love the Swan, and plan to stay there soon when it is just DH and I. For family activity, it is Dolphin all the way!

We have stayed at the Dolphin a few years ago and it was great. But we are going to the Swan in August. The reason I picked the Swan over the Dolphin: Swan offers two queen beds; the Dolphin offers two double beds in a room.
