Can we make a ADR's if we're staying at the Swan?

I heard that you can only make ADR's if you're staying onsite -- does that include the Swan. I'm choosing between the Swan and a moderate at approximately the same price. I think we'd like the Swan better because of location, but if it means CS meals each night I'll switch to POFQ or CSR.

You Don't need to be staying onsite to make ADRs - you can make them if you are staying anywhere - Swan, home, any offsite hotel.

The only difference about onsite or off site is WHEN you can make ADR's. When you stay on site, you can get up to 10 days of ADR 180 days out from your first day. Off site, it's 180 days out from the reservation date.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether the swan is or isn't included as "on site".

The Swan and Dolphin do NOT count as "on site" for the purposes of the 10-day-in-advance ADR's that you mention.

If your decision where to stay is based on your primarily on your ADR's, here is the scoop (I hope!)
ADR's can be made by anyone, resort guest or not, at 180 days before the ADR. If you are staying "On-site" and the Swan and Dolphin are not considered "on site" for this, you can make your ADR's for 180 + 10 days from the date of your check in to a Disney Resort. In this scenario, you call once and book for up to 10 straight days.
If you are staying at the Swan Dolphin, you would have to make your ADR's EACH DAY at 180 days out, so if you are staying 7 nights , you would have to call every morning, 180 days out for each, for 7 days.
Does that make sense? If this is the only distinguishing factor between staying at the Swan/Dolphin and a "Disney" resort, you should be able to work with it, in this manner.
Hope This Helps.

We are already past the 180 day window so it sounds like we wouldn't get any advantages to moving to a WDW moderate.

Thanks everyone!
