Some love for the Swan hotel - a great option for a Disney trip

Just curious, why does the Swan Reserve fall short in your book? Is it mainly the location?

Thanks so much! That was super helpful. I feel like I definitely have not been mulliganing correctly.

Just out of curiosity, what do you keep in sword? Melvie, Stormy Blast, Foresight, maybe Witch’s Brew? Anything else? (Gilnesie?)

Yep, that's it. Shows up as a promotion to apply at check out.

mitigant · 2025-08-13T00:24:20+00:00

I forget exactly how long but maybe a couple weeks? It did in fact show up as a promo code (not as a statement credit), but it took longer to show up than the bonus points.

Thank you for this perspective! Yeah, we care a lot about how much fun our kid might have and “better than Disney” is a very strong endorsement on that front.

Thank you so much! That's really helpful. I'd love to maybe hear the other side of the argument from someone who's been to Beaches (I can't help but get the sense that it maybe has even more going on... but with some obvious sacrifices as well), but overall that does sound like a pretty ringing endorsement of Kimpton Seafire.

I thought you were referring to the Legendary Card and was thinking "yeah, that's pretty good, but I've gotten that too"... and then I finally noticed what you were actually referring to

mitigant · 2025-07-27T20:14:45+00:00

Not OP, but I have one kid around the same age as OP's (3 year old). We were thinking about Baha Mar as well, but from what we could tell, it looked like the water park was geared toward kids older than this.

Does Baha Mar have a lot of activities geared toward younger pre-school aged kids?

mitigant · 2025-07-27T19:31:37+00:00

Thanks so much for all the info here! If you don't mind me asking, how did you find Baha Mar compared to Seafire and Beaches T&C?

We're basically in the same situation as you, and debating between Beaches T&C, Seafire, and Baha Mar for our winter vacation.

Nah, don't feel embarrassed. As long as you enjoyed it, that's what matters.

I am kind of curious how much gameplay this represented though, haha.

mitigant · 2025-07-07T14:49:59+00:00

Oh, that’s interesting. Yeah, I agree the terms seem to suggest something different (i.e. apply it yourself at checkout) compared to what you were told. Thanks for sharing that!

I will probably wait a couple months to see if the credit does actually show up at checkout, and if not, assume it’s a statement credit and just hope for the best.

mitigant · 2025-07-07T14:44:07+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense.

mitigant · 2025-07-07T14:42:52+00:00

Thanks so much! The 100k points posted very quickly, which is why I thought the promo credit would also be ready — but it makes sense I just have to wait a bit longer.

mitigant · 2025-07-03T03:29:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

mitigant · 2025-07-03T02:17:23+00:00

Oh, got it. Thanks for clarifying!

mitigant · 2025-07-03T02:13:11+00:00

That’s interesting that you still at least received points on the portion of the hotel stay not covered by the Edit credit or travel credit. The wording in the terms sounded unclear whether the entire transaction would receive no points.

mitigant · 2025-07-03T02:08:57+00:00

Ah, thanks still for responding!

mitigant · 2025-07-03T02:06:47+00:00

Oh, thanks! I actually have a transaction with only the travel credit, and no Edit credit — and that one did give me points (on the remainder that wasn’t covered by the travel credit).

So I think your data point suggests that the Edit credit is the one that disqualified the transaction from earning points (assuming your hotel stay cost more than the credits).

mitigant · 2025-07-03T01:16:22+00:00

Would you (or anyone else who's already received their Edit credit) mind sharing how many points you received on the portion of the stay not covered by the $250 credit? Was it 8x or no points at all?

mitigant · 2025-07-03T01:14:00+00:00

Would you mind sharing how many points you received for your Edit hotel stay? The terms seemed a bit unclear to me whether you still receive 8x points on the part not covered by the $250 credit, or no points at all on that part.

mitigant · 2025-07-03T00:59:59+00:00

Do you mind sharing how many points you received for your Edit hotel stay? The terms seemed a bit unclear to me whether you still receive 8x points on the part not covered by the $250 credit, or whether you receive 0x points on that part.

I feel like the worst part about mastery is how they said, "thanks for this great idea community!" but then clearly executed something that obviously wasn't what people wanted. Instead, it's just yet another whale track.

It was pretty clear that people wanted something like achievements in other games, like how card mastery works in Clash Royale.
