2. However, I think I might pay more next time and stay elsewhere on the Disney property just to avoid the convention crowd, because obviously the Swan caters (literally) to them more than your common Disney tourist.

3. Check-in was easy, room was always clean, and did I mention you can pub crawl at Epcot and have an easy, (mostly) downhill walk back, avoiding buses full of cranky kids.

7. For a Disney Character breakfast, I would avoid the one in the hotel and make a reservation at The Cape May Cafe at the Disney Beach Resort which is a short walk away.
