Is there a place where we can pick up Muffins, coffee and juice in the morning at the Swan?

At the Dolphin, they have continental breakfast items at the Lobby Bar - maybe the same at the Swan?

It's been raining a lot in Florida, too! I hope you have a great trip, in spite of the weather.

Thank you! We are bringing my parents with us this time (71 & 70) so I am hoping for good weather. It has been many years since they have been to Disney and they are VERY excited after seeing our Dolphin photos the past three years! DD, DH , and I can brave the rain , but I'd like it to be a magical trip for mom & dad.

Thank you so much! I am taking the laptop, so I will try to post a few updates while we are there next week. I'll keep an eye on the fridges etc.

Sounds great.. I love live reports! Have fun with your parents! We took our inlaws a few years back and they loved it!

My Mom passed 2 years ago this week.. I still regret not ever being able to take her and my Dad. She was diagnosed in March 2007 and passed in June 2007 it was so fast. By the time we found out we could not get a trip in around her not feeling good and doctors etc.

Make some great memories for all of you!



I started a thread here this am ... on a story I heard on the news.

That's great to know. Maybe I should add a grocery stop to our airport pick up now! Does anyone know if you can buy six packs of water at the little convenience shop on the Boardwalk?

We really only want the fridge for extra water... hmmm.. what to do?....

I'd stop at the Hess station just before the turn to get to the hotel. Prices will be lower than the store on the Boardwalk and they have a much larger selection.

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if the limo driver is ok with a real "quick" stop!

I will be arriving at the dolphin on July 1st and am glad to hear about the fridges! We have an early flight and should be arriving around 9:30 AM. We scheduled a grocery stop with our car co. but I doubt our room will be ready that early. Is there a place at the Dolphin where we could store our groceries that need to be refrigerated if our room is not ready yet?
