Swan vs Dolphin vs WL

[Mickeygirl]

We are planning a trip for summer 03. We will have a 4 and 6 year old (niece and nephew plus their parents) with us plus 2 teenagers (DS and girlfriend). The teenagers have been before but the little ones and their parents haven't. I was wondering which would be better for us .

We have stayed at WL before and LOVED it.

Between the Swan/Dolphin which one do you all like better?

The kids would love ASMo but with 3 guys over 6' I don't think those beds would be very comfortable.

Thanks for all the help

As far as Swan vs. Dolphin- the Swan is the smaller hotel as far as navigating the hallways and common areas, and it has queen beds which might be nice for your big guys. The Dolphin is steps away from the Swan and they share the fabulous Grotto Pool area which all your group would love. Tubbi's for quick meals, and the game room are also located in the Dolphin as is the laundry if that's a factor for you. You can't go wrong with either as far as location and ease of transportation, and the additional dining/entertainment of Boardwalk is steps away too!

WL Lodge is gorgeous as you know, the theming can't be beat and the boat to MK is great. The little ones in your group might like it better.....but I suspect if your teens are anything like mine, they appreciated the Dolphin as teens as much as they enjoyed WL when they were small.

I wish I could show you interior shots of the Swan, but we do have nearly 50 nice photos of the Dolphin, including a standard room interior (several shots).

I just wish to compliment you on the pictures WedWay72...your site is amazing! I visited a while back, and strolled through the gorgeous POR..mansion pics...of my beloved old "Dixie Landings" (Oak Manor). I just returned to the site via your link, and added it to my favs. I laughed aloud over the morning Bill on the door. You have a wonderful DH, as he removes the "downer" before you even see it! The photos are all crisp and clear, and give a spectacular inside peek at these wonderful homes away from home. Thank you for all the effort and hard work. It is well-appreciated.
