I have a question regarding check-in. I am switching our trip around so that we end our vacation at the Swan or SSR. I am leaning towards the Swan as I've heard check-in at the DVC resorts is often very late (after 4 p.m.).
What is the earliest you've been able to check-in? If you arrive early, say @ 11 a.m., and your room is not ready, can you lounge by the pool until the room is ready? Do they have food and snacks available at the pool? What areas can you go to/explore in the Boardwalk area? I haven't been to the Boardwalk in 10 years, thus the need for updated information. Plus, my mom is traveling with us and will not be able to tolerate the heat in August. She could be out by the pool one hour max. Any suggestions for where she can go and relax in the area until our room is ready?
Thanks for all the help. This is a great thread. I love the pics and have always wanted to stay at the Dolphin/Swan!
