Waaaaaah! I am pretty heartbroken here. We are hardcore BWI folks. We love walking into EP and DHS; my kids love walking over to Fantasia Gardens and playing mini golf; my piano-playing 13 year old sweet talks his way into standing inside by the door of Jellyrolls to listen to the players; boys play at the Community Room. It's been a sweet arrangement for us. Before then, we've done GF and Contemporary and Yacht and Beach Clubs. But, it looks like we won't be able to stay at our beloved BWI this year; it's not included in our agent's package and we can't/won't do rack rate. We tend to go in early December, so I'm tempted to change things up and try WL. I've always wanted to stay there during the holiday season and it's a good deal! BUT (there's always a but, right?) we aren't really MK people. I mean, we go every year, but not as often as we do EP and HS (we also do AK for a day, too). I do LOVE the new Happily Ever After show, so we will definitely go in to MK for at least one full morning and a full night (we're doing a 5 day stay).
So my choices right now are to give Swan/Dolphin a try in order to stay in the Epcot and Boardwalk area and have access to the walking paths to the two parks, or go full on WL and holiday myself out by that amazing fireplace and tree in that lobby. That bar/restaurant by the water looks pretty nice. Downside is there is no pull out bed for my boys at WL so they may have to share which always results in multiple arguments about where the EXACT middle of the bed is.
One thing: my kids love the BWI pool (weird, I know!) mostly for the fun slide. Are the slides at Swan/Dolphin and WL any good?
Help, advice and reassurance, please!
