Has anyone vacationed at either the Swan or Dolphin Hotel in Orlando, Florida Near Disney?
What is you opinion of either hotel? What other Disney hotels do anyone of you like?
I have not stayed at the Swan or Dolphin but go there occasionally for dinner with my parents. Both are beautiful I think all Epcot resort hotels are nice and has a great location and middle of everything.
If I were to choose I would stay at the Swan... Dolphin is larger because they have a convention center which can get busy in the lobbies if there is one. But no matter what still a nice place.
Thunder Mountain, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida.
