Swan and Dolphin - FP+ & BOG FP

[coley444]

I just tentatively booked the Dolphin for Memorial Day weekend 2015!

Now I have a few q's.

They were only able to give me 5/21 - 5/24 and 5/24 - 5/25 because of availability issues.

I've linked my first Dolphin reservation (5/21 - 5/24) to MDE already.

I'll be buying five day park tickets.

> At my 60 day mark when my FP+ window opens for my first set of dates, will I be able to book my FP+ for 5/25 even though 5/25 isn't on my resort reservation in MDE?

> For my ADRs does 180+10 apply to the 5/25 date even though it isn't in my MDE / my first resort reservation dates?

> If I want a FP for BOG on 5/25 will my two reservations confuse the system? How does the BOG FP system know what dates to let me book- is it based on my resort stay?

It's a little confusing.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I have a Dolphin visit booked for this December 2014 so I have a tiny bit of insight.

One very important thing that will change everything... Dolphin does have the 180 day ADR, but it does not have the +10 since it is not a disney owned property.

My 180 days started 2 nights ago and I have to call in for ADRs every single day this week.

Sorry I can't be of more help about the rest.

BOG FP+ is for guests at Disney owned resorts only.

Hmm interesting thanks to both of you!

I'd say those are adding to my drawback list- starting to grow longer as there's no Magical Express or Dining Plan.

That balcony room is a big plus though. Knowing my hectic WDW pace I hope I'll actually get some use out of it lol.

I stayed at the Dolphin in high school like 10 years ago and I really loved it. At the time I had no cares or concerns about the planning side since I just got to show up!

> How about reserving FP+? How will the two reservations impact that? Can I do the whole stay at 60 days? Or will I need to do 5/25 on its own 60 day mark?

If it's another negative I may consider changing to a true WDW resort.
