Episode 415 - Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort Hotels

On this week's feature discussion show, as the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts have broken ground on the third building to be added to their complex, The Cove, we'll take a look back at how the original 2 resort hotels came to be. There's an intriguing and, somewhat complex, story that follows the path from Michael Eisner commissioning these 2 convention hotels for Walt Disney World, all the way to the point of opening day where they opened as, not Disney hotels, but a joint venture between Disney and Tishman Hotel Corporation. If you've ever wondered how these 2 "non-Disney" resorts located in prime location to the theme parks with Disney boat transportation and more came to be, you don't want to miss this episode!
