Want to use Starwood points for our next trip to WDW. I am wondering which hotel is better to stay at with husband and two children (ages 2 & 3). The WDW Swan or the WDW Dolphin?

My family has stayed at both the Swan and the Dolphin and they are both lovely with really similar perks. The walk to the Friendship Launch boat that takes Guests to Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and the Boardwalk is about the same distance from both hotel. You can also walk to these destinations! Our personal favorite is the Dolphin as my family likes eating at the breakfast buffet there and my kids love the huge fountain outside that you'll walk past going to the boat dock. The kids are also fans of The Fountain in the Dolphin where they could get ice cream. Thank you for visiting with us here at Disney World Moms Panel and I hope you have a fantastic trip!
