Analysis Paralysis - Pop vs. Swan vs. Grand Floridian

[Dave006]

l try to keep checking the Swan to see if any lower rates open up as it's hard to justify the $400/night rate approaching some deluxe Disney hotels.

Have you checked this link to see if you qualify for any lower Group rates: https://swandolphin.com/offers/

For example you can join AAA for less than $100 for a year, divide the $100 over the number of days of your stay. Also the Swan / Swan Reserve / Dolphin is moving to a $50 per day Resort fee so make sure that it is included your rate.

…I'm going to chat with my daughter to gauge how important staying at Disney the whole time vs not having to change hotels is to her. I know it sounds silly but she was pretty excited last time to get to use her magic band to get into the room and buy items around the park and hotel…

Not silly! We all love different aspects of our Disney vacays, even quirky ones. Good luck!

Great questions! I meant to mention that I doubt we'll use the pools at all while we're there so that's not a big factor for us.

You need to know about the pools especially if you want to go with a Beach Club option you listed above. The major Feature pool at the YC / BC is now closed for a refurbishment thru June, 20205 and there will be noise and construction work during the day that you will see and hear.

I know it sounds silly but she was pretty excited last time to get to use her magic band to get into the room and buy items around the park and hotel. Appreciate all the help!

Does she have a smartphone? How about using her smartphone for mobile purchases around WDW.
