Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin Resort Hotels:Don't Overlook These Great Hotels

By Nancy Bobby

If you have ever driven through the Walt Disney World resort property, you are certainly familiar with some of the well-known landmarks. Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth (the "golf ball") at Epcot, and Hollywood Studio's Tower of Terror all are readily recognizable by the millions of Disney vacationers each year. Yet there are two more Disney landmarks that you can't miss when visiting Disney World and yet they may very well be the "hidden gems" of Walt Disney World: The Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin resort hotels.

The Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin resorts are actually owned by Starwood, the parent company of the Sheraton and Westin hotels. However, they are on Disney property, and as such, there are a number of great benefits available to guests who stay there. The first is the convenient location: the Swan and Dolphin are just a short walk or boat ride from both Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. And that is just the beginning of a host of other great benefits.

Each building is visually striking, having been designed by renowned architect Michael Graves. With stunning and beautiful interiors and grounds, the two resorts share a fantastic pool area. They also have a host of wonderful amenities that equal any of the deluxe Disney resort properties.

In addition, there are a number of full-service restaurants and lounges, in all price ranges, tastes, and styles.

One of the nicest aspects of the Swan and Dolphin is that guests, while not technically Disney resort guests, still enjoy many Disney resort perks. Transportation and location have already been mentioned. In addition, guests of the Swan and Dolphin can participate in the Extra Magic Hours program, get free parking at the theme parks, and can get package delivery from the parks to the hotel.

One of the nicest benefits to staying at the Swan or Dolphin, are the Westin "Heavenly Beds". Consisting of a luxurious pillow top mattress, triple sheets, down blanket and comforter, and goose down/feather pillows, relaxing in a Heavenly Bed is truly the perfect ending to a long, busy day at the Disney parks.

Although the Swan and Dolphin are "deluxe" resorts, their prices are usually less than a similar Disney resort. Additionally, frequent discounts are available for Florida residents, senior citizens, government employees, members of the military, nurses, and teachers.

Discover the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin resort on your next Disney vacation. With a great location, a host of superb benefits, a lovely property, Disney guest perks, and a great value, you will not be disappointed in what you find.
