    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    You get a voucher per day with each one being worth $20. We used ours at Fuel, Garden Grove and Fresh. You don’t have to use them on the date listed - we used two at once to pay for four people at Fresh. We have Ambassador status and didn't get a room upgrade but like you were already booked...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    We did one at the Dolphin in June and absolutely loved it! We spent the entire day at the pool and having the cabana to retreat to off and on was really great. We enjoyed using the floats too and the servers were very attentive. Definitely worth it for us!

    Pay Per Ride FP incoming?

    When we went to DLP a few years ago, we got a VIP fastpass by booking a suite, so they already had some form of paid fastpass. I wonder if they still have that?

    Savi storage?

    My two teens found them to be comfortable enough to carry around all day. Another option would be to ship them back home right after making them. They can do this in GE and the cost is really reasonable.

    If not staying on property is there any other way to order a plain colored Magic Band than from shopdisney.com?

    We bought ours on Amazon for our trip last month. I was a little nervous about not buying from an “official” source, but they were cheaper and worked perfectly. Several options of plain colors - we bought pink, red, navy and green.

    I would second the grotto recommendation, because the grotto is a much bigger pool with play areas for your littlest ones. That being said, you will have to leave your cabana to accompany the littles to those areas; they can’t be seen from the cabanas. Likewise, the area where your older...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    We did not have any issues, although I think others have had different experiences. We were there for a week and the only day I really saw it crowded was our arrival day, Sunday, the 6th. We had housekeeping twice during our seven nights, on the third and sixth days.

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    This is a complicated question as of late! I would say definitely walk to Epcot/DHS in the mornings, and if they want to hop between those two, we found the Skyliner to be a really nice ride as an alternative to the boats. It was never busy mid-day. The most direct way to MK would be to use a...

    We didn’t try them for wine, so I can’t be sure about that😂. But yes, you should be able to use them at non-breakfast times. We bought afternoon cookies with ours on a day when we didn’t want to take time for breakfast!

    I don’t, I’m sorry. I kept meaning to take some but never actually got around to it. Happy to answer any questions you may have though!

    Yes. They rent floats at the little pool store too, in case you don’t want to travel with your own and have to worry about blowing them up poolside!

    Traveling with a Lightsaber...after Savi's, what we do with lightsabers on a ride or airplane?

    We did it last week😀. Super easy. Just keep your receipt and pretty much any store in any park can do it for you.

    Yep. DH is Ambassador level. Helpful to know that they don’t have to be used for breakfast and you can use more than one at a time. Each slip is basically $20 off.

    Traveling with a Lightsaber...after Savi's, what we do with lightsabers on a ride or airplane?

    We shipped ours home and they arrived in three days. If you keep your receipt, you can do it from any store in any park. We shipped ours from the Emporium in MK on our last day.

    The Official 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Thread - July 15 to Nov. 20

    Just got back from a full week, family trip, but DH and I are already talking about trying to do a long weekend just for this in the fall. I really hope they bring back some of the special events and seminars! We did this festival a few years ago and those are some of our favorite memories!

    Just to throw one more option in for you, we used Happy Limo last week and were very pleased with them. Our driver was very accommodating and even let us change our minds and throw in a grocery stop last minute.

    Both Fresh and the Grove were first come, first served, no reservations accepted. I was fine with the buffet. All of the dishes were served by staff instead of people serving themselves.

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Star Wars Data Pad is one of the options you scroll through when you open the app. Click on that, and then there will be a button for “jobs.” From here you can choose missions!

    PlayDisney App and Galaxy’s Edge

    Just back from a week-long trip with lots of time spent in Galaxy’s Edge. We got three RotR boarding groups so everyone in our party rode twice, built lightsabers at Savi’s, and went to Oga’s. One of our favorite GE things though ended up being a free thing with no reservations required😂. One...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I was definitely still half asleep when I wrote my post this morning, otherwise I would NOT have forgotten to mention this😂! One of our absolute favorite things to do was hang out in Galaxy’s Edge and use the PlayDisney app. You can accept “missions” that involve solving puzzles and culminate...
