Tell me about Swan and Dolphin

[escriven75]

My family has been to WDW countless times, yet I've never researched or considered Swan or Dolphin resort. Why? I do not know!! Speak to me like a newbie and tell me what they're all about. Why choose to stay and which? Benefits? Drawbacks?
We love staying on property for many reasons but a main one is proximity and not wanting to rent a car and have to drive on my vacation. I'm perfectly happy with Disney buses (or skyliner) to and from parks even at park close waiting in a long line.
