Swan/Dolphin as low at $220 a night.
Just wanted to pass along a great price for The Swan and Dolphin resorts. Saw it on Hotels.com. Still can't afford it, but wanted to let you know if you were planning on staying there.

Re: Swan/Dolphin as low at $220 a night.
Isn't the teacher/nurse's rate $149?

Re: Swan/Dolphin as low at $220 a night.
I'd love to return to stay at the Swan, but there's so many Disney deluxe resorts we haven't stayed at yet. $220 a night's not a bad price though.

Re: Swan/Dolphin as low at $220 a night.
We are members of Starwood, and when we travel we try to stay at a Starwood hotel. we can use the points we accumulate for a low rate at Swan/Dolphin.

Re: Swan/Dolphin as low at $220 a night.
I went to their website to check it out. It's now $169 and, yes, all you need to do is show a recent check stub. Here's my question for all you experienced resort people . . . is $169/night at the Swan worth cancelling reservation at PC ($126 or something close to that). It sounds like Swan might be more suited more for adults? Have 8 yr. old DS . . . stay with PC?

We've been ending up at the Swan and Dolphin for several reasons in the past few years: -we like the experience and convenience of an Epcot Resort. -when I call the Yacht and Beach they've been booked up on the days we wanted. -it is a bit noisy and crowded at the Y and B also. -the Boardwalk is too expensive. -main reason: I have been able to get the lowest price consistently at the Swan and Dolphin and this is how: You can get a 50% discount on rack rates (full price) if you have: a) AAA membership (show card at check-in) b) Entertainbook card (don't need coupon, some books don't have one) c) Buy an annual passport (worth it if you are staying more than 2 or 3 nights). If you have to wait until you get to a park to buy one Sw & Dolph will let you check-in, then go to a park, purchase the annual pass, but you must show your annual passport to the front desk by midnight. They set aside a number of rooms at different discounts. On my last trip, the lowest rate I could get was at $224 a night which I reserved. Then I kept calling back saying "will you check for disc. rates for me for these nights..." and finally, the month before my trip they released some rooms for $169 and I got that rate and cancelled the other rate. I think they hold some rooms in reserve for conferences and when the rooms don't all get used they put them back into the system. It just depends when you call - so keep calling back.

Fearless,
