Thanks. Wasn't sure if the 180 plus 10 was associated with the DDP or an on-property benefit like EMH.

Just the 180, day by day.

The Dolphin and Swan do not participate in the DDP. They are not Disney owned properties.

My understanding is that youncan still make reservations at the Disney parks and resorts 180 days out but not for the full 10 days. Most likely you will have to call back each day unless you get a very cooperative CM.

The 180 days in advance or the 180 + 10 have never been very important to us, but I think your post helped me understand the purpose of the +10. I always assumed the 180 + 10 was essentially letting people staying at a Disney resort book 190 days in advance. But if I'm reading your post correctly at 180 days mark you can book up to 10 days worth of reservations for your vacation? If that's the case, the +10 part makes more sense and is more useful than I imagined.

Glad I could help! Yes you got it! Those staying on Disney property can book all their days at once -180 days out.

Do either or both Swan/Dolphin have queen beds?

Do either or both Swan/Dolphin have queen beds?

Swan has queen, Dolphin has double+, supposedly a little larger than double not quite a queen. We have a queen at home and don't really notice a difference at the Dolphin.

Swan has queens-Dolphin has doubles. They are a little bigger than your regular double at home. Don't remember what they are called.

Stayed at swan last trip, and staying at dolphin this time. I am curious to find out the difference between the two hotels!

Does anyone know it the TVs have accessible/usable HDMI ports? Working on my items to bring list and trying to figure out if I want to bring an Hdmi cable to view photos/video I shoot.

How are you checking online?

How are you checking online?

I received an email after I made the reservation. I am also a Starwood member. You can use your reservation number or Starwood number to log in and check the reservation from the link in the email.

The Weston Link, that is says click to change
(staying at the Swan)

And I had forgotten to put my SPG number in when I made this reservation, so it is not showing up on my SPG account, but it is there when I click from the email.

Mine has a link to log in to my account. I would call and add your SPG number, that way you are sure to get credit. And will flag you as a member the day of check in.
