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

    I don’t see any blackouts for June for Pixie Pass/FL resident APs this summer. Just the standard weekend and Memorial Day & July 4th blocks. Are there other FL resident tickets blocked out?

    Disney Visa Offer Coming on April 9

    It would be good to see some other resort discounts for late summer (AP, general public, etc)

    I’m claustrophobic too and always worry about where I’ll end up at the Dolphin. We’ve been lucky so far! Many first floor rooms do have a patio. And then there’s this room:

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

    If you have kids with early bedtimes, I recommend putting in a room request for a room where you can see the Epcot fireworks. You can ask when you check in as well, to see if they might be able to accommodate you on that, if available. The Dolphin has a bookable fireworks view category, but, if...

    Thanks. We’ll likely go with the Uber or Lyft to HS. Not sure what we’ll do about Epcot. Walking won’t be an option for our group unfortunately.

    What time do the boats start running to Epcot & HS? I know the official line on transportation is usually 1 hour before park open. We’re looking to get to Early Entry and wondering if we have a chance of making it with the boats. Hoping this group can help us get the real facts here. 🙂

    Wonderful! These are exactly the kinds of details I was curious about. Thank you so much for taking the time to share!

    Swan & Dolphin - anyone stayed recently?

    We are considering a Minnie Van for MK rope drop from the Dolphin. Would you be willing to share any details of your experience, such as: what time you ordered the ride, what time you got picked up and how much it cost?

    Has any one ever stayed in one of these corner rooms at the very ends of the Dolphin before? I believe the circled windows are both in the same room. I’m having a heck of a time trying to figure out what the layout would be here. In house reservations said they were traditional Resort view...

    I’ve looked for this too, but I believe it’s an emergency exit only. It would be so convenient to pop out there, right next to Yacht Club rather than needing to wind around the building to go that way.

    Thanks for your review! Does anyone there now have an update on if the path from Dolphin to yacht club is open yet or not?

    Do Swan and Dolphin wave the parking fee for people with accessible parking passes? Bringing the parents along next trip and wondering if they’ll have this option, like they do at the Disney resorts.

    Thanks Dave and Steve. I’ve been watching these too long and made the rookie mistake of not booking asap. Will keep watching in case something opens up.

    Does anyone know if the passholder code is still working? I’ve tried dates in November, January, and February but am not seeing availability at Swan or Dolphin in the app or on website. Hoping I didn’t miss the boat! 😟

    Topolinos breakfast price?

    Oh, thank you so much! I’m so used to digging around for pricing info, on character meals. Glad to see it right there on the menu.

    Topolinos breakfast price?

    Hello! Can anyone tell me the current price for adults and children for breakfast at Topolino’s? We are headed there in August. I know the price varies, but trying to get a better ballpark figure. I’ve seen blogs that said $42, but more recently saw a post here that said $60 for adults.

    Wilderness Lodge or Old Key West

    Keep tryping for that Storybook! I bet if you find a close time they’ll try to accommodate if you request an early seating when they open that day. Your plans sound awesome! I’m making mental notes for a future grownups only trip.

    Wilderness Lodge or Old Key West

    If I were in your shoes I would keep the WL reservation. You said the OKW villa is “a little” cheaper, and in my mind “a little” would not be worth losing the positives of WL: the ambiance of the lodge; the guaranteed proximity to resort’s main pool, restaurants and lounge (Territory Lounge and...

    Best resorts for young kids?

    Edit: Sorry, forgot I was in the DVC forum! I stand by my recommendations 8-) Most here are recommending deluxes, which sound lovely. We’ve had good experiences at a value and moderate as well, which are easier on the budget for us— Pop Century and Port Orleans French Quarter. Pop was great...
