According to our Towncar driver in September, there is a very good reason why the Swan/Dolphin gets special treatment since "they are not a Disney Resort". I found out, according to our driver, Swan/Dolphin is actually owned by Disney, hence the Disney name "Disney Swan and Dolphin". What happened was Disney had alot on there plate when the Swan/Dolphin was developed, so Disney leased the resorts back to the builder for amount of time. He said that the big squares in the triangle of the resorts where actually made for monorails that where to be put in later. This makes since to me, since all of this time, the Dolphin/Swan was in the Entertainment Books for several years. For 2005, the coupon is not in there. Plus the fact that our driver said if it has the Disney name on it, Disney owns it, even though the resort will tell you they are not connected.

Just thought you guys might find this interesting. Has anyone ever heard this?
