Flights are gonna be taken care of in a minute, but right now we are picking between POFQ and the Swan, which we can get for pretty cheap during our stay. I've stayed at POFQ about 4 times but never at the Swan. Which would you choose?

Originally Posted By Chelledun ^^It is, we did it last year. As much as we enjoyed it, though, it took a LOT of time and planning to do all those sit down meals. Plus we were full all the time . I think we are just going to do a couple of table service meals on this trip. But I didn't know that, actually, so thanks! The thing I think will be irritating is that you can't have packages delivered back from the parks, at least as far as I know.
