Does anyone know if Swan and Dolphin will move my luggage to the contemporary for me? I really want to stay here but With both of us bound to ecvs - moving luggage is an issue.

Yes they will.

Absolutely! Works same as WDW, it’s handled by Bell Services. They’ll even pick your bags up at your room.

Unsolicited note on ECVs and Swolphin- no ECVs allowed in the hallways. You can store them in your room or drop them off with Bell Services for free storage and charging whenever you return to the hotel.

Yes they will. And the reverse also.

@katmigordon yes they will, they can move to any Disney resort. You'll need to bring your bad to bell services and they will take it from there. Generally the bags won't be available until closer to 5PM if I recall. I would suggest downloading the Swan/Dolphin mobile app, from there you can use the Text Us option and ask when you need to your bags to bell services to have the moved. Bell services can pick up your luggage from your room, though it is a tipped option.

Don’t bother texting or calling with questions about this, if you have a q go directly to the bell desk and ask in person. I called the customer service line from the room a couple years ago and asked about luggage transfer to a WDW hotel and they told me they definitely didn’t do that. Walked my bag down to bell services and the bellman took it no issues.

@gottalovepluto hopefully in 2 years they've better trained their staff.

I’ll report back when I’m there next month, since I plan to have them take my stuff from CR over to the Swan.

Do the 2-bdrm suites at Swan or Dolphin offer and additional benefits or services over regular rooms?

 

[dunkindonut]

Was able to book Swan Reserve next month with a 30% D23 discount, pretty sweet!

 

[SteveH]

@nanoburd I don't think there are added benefits. Marriott/Bonvoy is usually more based on points levels. Just staying at S/D gets you Extended Evening Theme Park Hours or early entry as a Deluxe Resort Guest.

 

[gottalovepluto]

@nanoburd to add to what @SteveH said, if you’re looking for a club level/executive lounge type perk that can be associated with suite bookings elsewhere, none of the 3 Swolphin hotels offer club/executive lounges.

Back before COVID, staying in a suite classification at the Swan or Dolphin included Disney Signature Services access. Not anymore.

Ah, yeah. Someone said a few years ago they were able to use FNCs towards the 4 nights for the free night. None of us have been able to do that so we were digging for any recent DPs (it's not supposed to be a thing and indeed there were no recent DPs). The buy 4 get 5th night free on points is, and has been, good to go. Congrats on your free night!

That was me. Didnt I send proof also?
