Swan & Dolphin

[dorisdvu]

I planning a vacation for 3-21-04 - 3-26-04 (5 nights) 2 adults & 2 kids ages 7 & 4 --first timers. I had received a quote for the $1749 for 4 nights Dream Maker Package at Disney's Carribean Beach (standard view). I came across the Dreamsunlimited website and got a price of $1220 for 3-21-04 - 3-26-04 at the Swan (standard view). From what I gather the ultimate park hopper passes are included in the room rates. This sounds too good to be true...is it??? What is the difference between the Swan & Dolphin? Do these have access to the monorail?

Hi Doris

Thank you for considering Dreams Unlimited Travel.

The Swan & Dolphin resorts are not 'monorial' resorts (i.e. they are not on the Disney monorail system). They do have convenient transportation to the Disney MGM Studios and Epcot Center via Friendship Boats. Bus transportation is available to all other Disney theme parks and entertainment areas. You could take the boat to Epcot and then take the monorail to the Magic Kingdom, but this means a long walk through Epcot and can be a very time sonsuming journey. For more information on the Swan and Dolphin we reccomend visiting this page of our site http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/resorts/SwanandDolphin/swananddolphinmainpage.htm

The pricing for the Swan and Dolphin you received through our DreamsRES online reservation system (http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/dreamsres/index.htm) does not include theme park admission.

If you booked a package thorugh Dreams Unlimited Travel it would state exactly what was included - i.e. passes, etc.

I hope this helps to answer your questions.

Hi MissIowa!

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts are not Disney-owned properties, but they are located within the Walt Disney World Resort. Guests at these resorts are able to enjoy the Extra Magic Hour each morning and Disney transportation is available from these resorts to all the Disney venues. For the best pricing on these resorts, you can check out our online booking engine at www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/dreamsres/index.htm by selecting the links for the Swan and Dolphin resorts. These resorts are considered deluxe resorts by Disney and the rates will be higher than those at Disney's Pop Century.
