Resort Thread Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE Resorts

Were you able to link your reservation? I booked a room for November. It won't link. I'm going to give it a few days before I call.

Yes I was able to link the Swan one no issues. But I didn’t try linking it until today.

In order to be able to make ILLS reservations at 7am on the travel day, can I do it simply because i have a reservation or do I need to have done online check in? (How early does Swolphin allow online checking anyways?)

thanks

You should be able to do it simply by having the reservation. As long as it shows in MDE you should be fine.

Another lawsuit filed against Swan/Dolphin:

Suit filed re convention cancelation penalty

Looking for a room late January-early February? Rooms may be available.

I booked last night. I'll give it a day or two since it's a holiday weekend. I booked through Marriott, not the Swalphin website.

While the rest of the world reads that article and thinks “$1 million cancellation policy?!” Disney nerds think “Red Alert: Rooms available! Rooms available!”

I love being a Disney Nerd!

I booked Swan through the Marriott website and was able to link my reservation right after.

Can anyone tell me what brand of shampoo and conditioner are provided in the Swan rooms? And is it the big bottle that is locked up or is it still travel size? Trying to decide if i need to bring my own.

I think they are still using the Westin White Tea in the disposable bottles... I say I think, based on comments from earlier this year. But hopefully from a recent stay can chime in.

I don't remember the brand, but we just stayed at the Swan last week and were given travel sized bottles of toiletries.

The Swolphin app transportation section state the buses will run through 45 minutes after park closing. Does that also cover extra evening hours at MK?

Yes it does. They will never leave anyone stranded at a park.

No, although a prompt came up saying I would be charged certain amounts on my cc, it never happened. There was an old address in the Bonvoy account and I updated it but the cc still never got charged.

I'm vaguely worried but not enough to call their dumb CS line.

Yep, even the lovely white leaf shaped soaps.

Do the busses from the Dolphin to MK accommodate ECVs?

We caught the MK bus at Boardwalk but took the AK bus twice and it did accommodate ECVs.

Yes
