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

You’re not very deep into the Bonvoy world are you? #Bonvoyed became a saying for a reason. Absolutely you pay resort fees on points stays.

Hilton and Hyatt waive resort fees on point stays- although with the rate of Hilton inflation you better earn like 100k points more than you think you’ll need because the price will get jacked up before you’re able to book…

Nope. I don’t travel a lot but I have diamond status at Hilton so I tend to use that more when I do. I’ve accumulated Marriott points at swolphin stays but used them elsewhere. I think this is the first time I looked to use points at swan and was surprised.

Generally Swan & Dolphin is a terrible use of points through Marriott...Some properties like RC in Orlando can actually be a good value.

However, if this is where you want to be, sometimes it is worth it to spend the points if you have them...

@Tiggr88 is using premium points due to the Disney on-site location vs at the RC which is lovely but not on-site within WDW.
