Hi
I want to book 5 nights in Orlando for this August (flying into Miami, 7 night cruise from Fort Lauderdale and a couple of nights in Miami before flying home to the UK).
Staying on-site is a must. We stayed at the Swan before (couple of years ago) and really enjoyed it. I have narrowed this year's selection down to:
- Dolphin (stayed at the Swan, looked around the Dolphin, nice pool, great location).
- YC (had a quick walk around, great looking pool, great EPCOT location, boats to EPCOT).
- GF (seen it from the monorail, its on the monorail, heard good things about it, supposed to be the WDW flagship hotel...).
We would stay in a water view room with balcony at the Dolphin or probably a water view room at the YC or GF.
Dolphin and YC seem comparable price-wise (according to my best quotes), GF is a little more.
Husband is very keen to go for Dolphin ("Mr Unadventurous" - "Been there, know it is nice"), but I am keen to try something new ("Mrs Adventurous" - "You don't know what you are missing until you have tried it...").
Can anyone give me opinions comparing these results. Is a real Disney Resort better than the Dolphin (have never stayed in a Disney Resort before, but did a 7 night Disney Magic cruise 2 years ago)? Is the GF worth the extra money over YC or Dolphin?
Any thoughts welcome (and my apologies if this question has been asked before).
