Help with Hotel in Disney..Portofino or Swan?

Traveling at the end of March with my daughter and my father. Have reservations at both. Could only get a standard room at Swan, but Club Level at Portofino. Will be going to Epcot, MGM and Universal. Want the nicest hotel and, if possible, one that is a little quieter. We stayed at GF last time and it was fine...not crazy with kids everywhere at all. Your input is greatly appreciated.. thanks!

I love the Portofino and it matches your description.

Olivia, while the Portofino is definitely the nicest of the two, I'd stay on Disney property when visiting Disney and switch to Portofino when visiting Universal.

That is a really busy time - you'll want to have touring plans to help cut your time in line. Do you have dining reservations? They reservation window is already open and the popular restaurants will fill quickly. We used this reservation service on our trip in Sept. and were very pleased with it: http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com...ervations.html

The Swan is very convenient to MGM (my fav park).

Stay at the Swan while you are visiting EPCOT and MGM and then move to Portofino Bay for your visit to Universal.
