Just a general reminder- make sure you actually qualify for this discount if you try to use it. I don’t have experience with the D23 discount but Dolphin has checked me for a valid AP a couple of times and SR checked me for a work rate that nobody else had ever bothered to validate before.
How do you find AP rates for Swan and Dolphin? Is it in the app? I'm a new AP holder.
For Reservations: Contact them at 1-888-828-8850 and ask for promotional code ANNUAL PASSHOLDER RATE or when booking online, make sure Promotional Code QWH appears in the Corporate/Promo code box.
FYI you can use that code in the Bonvoy mobile app as well.
And just to add to the great feedback from @Best Aunt. If you have not activated your AP when you stop at the Front desk. Just let the Front desk team member know that you need to activate your AP, and they will want you to stop back by to show proof. We used to use our physical activated AP ticket but now we just show it in MDE.
This! I just showed them the AP in MDE and all they did was verify that my name matched what they had on the booking. Personally, I'm glad they check to make sure you actually are qualified to book the rate you did, whether it's AP, government employee, teacher, etc.
You definitely need the names on MDE to match whoever is in the room.
Ok thanks! So if i add my daughter to the room we should be fine right?
No there is no need to add her by name. Only (1) name needs to be listed on Bonvoy / Marriiot is the primary name of the lead Guest ( in your case, your name , and the correct number of additional adults / children in the room.
Yes it makes total sense thanks! I just called them and because the Bonvoy acct is in my husbands name he needs to stay as the lead/primary guest. I explained my situation and the woman from the Swan (who couldn't be nicer!) added my daughter as the 3rd adult and she said we will be fine in the Disney app even though he isn't coming. She said to wait a couple of hours and try to link the reservation in my app. Praying she is right!! She said technically she is supposed to charge me for the 3rd adult but isn't due to my circumstances and being a loyal Bonvoy member which I thought was extremely generous!!
If you spoke to in-house reservations at the Swan it should be just fine but I would wait until tomorrow before you try to relink the Marriott reservation number again. Normally the in-house team pushes the updates directly to Disney vs the batch updates that are grouped.
Thanks so much for all your help!!
