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

    Anyone have a recent-ish stay at the Reserve? We have stayed (and loved) the Dolphin and Swan but last stay was Dec 2019 BP (before pandemic) and construction was happening on the Reserve. I somehow forgot that it was across the street in relation to the other buildings. Is it a pain to...

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

    Just got back from the Dolphin - we were in a King premium studio and it qualifies for CL FP+ which we took advantage of :) It is the style where it is a separated bedroom area and then living/eating area. The bedroom is separated by a partial wall. Why they didn't have pocket doors or...

    Left Swan at 536 and through security in line at 546. About 20 minutes later than yesterday. Almost same position.

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Ugh what to do. Headed back in the morning and would love more sleep. We got in line for tapstiles at 530 so that was challenging with kids. Left Swan at 515. Security was a breeze.

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    I'm so surprised that the app didn't crash. I got BG 25 and in line now. I don't care about waiting until 7am but controlled walk meant we only got to do SR inside of 20 minutes As the line was 60 Min by the time we got out.

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Gah - had my gameplan all set with the 8am open. For 7am open - I don't need to be first. Mid-day to early afternoon is fine. To achieve this and preserve some sleep - would this theoretically work? Leave Swan at 6am - arrive 615 (rideshare unless boat is at dock) Bag Check done ~630...

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Thanks! I moved up our SDD FP+ Gah this 7am opening :( I don't need to be first - actually an early afternoon BG would be ideal. I had planned on getting to HS by 645 to miss the initial opening crush and allow for a few mins extra sleep for the kids. Next couple of days will be...

    Anyone stayed at Swan/Dolphin and gone to HS for RoTR yet? Curious on how early boats are running?

    Upgrade question: Received an email from the Dolphin on my upcoming reservation about Upgrading my stay. I clicked on the Upgrade link for curiosity's sake but just takes me to a screen that says Available Upgrades space and then my booking confirmation. Nothing to click/add/etc. Assuming...

    It's more of a fire/occupancy issue. I would suggest grabbing a Double premium at the Dolphin. Two double beds and then a pullout sofa bed and a little extra room.

    Exactly! DSS will also book your "regular" FP+s as well at the time you book your CL FP+s so that is an added bonus.

    I am staying in a King premium studio (3/4) wall and purchased the CL FP and also happy to answer any questions related to the FP.

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

    Is there a way to find out where the king premium studio suites are generally located? I don't have a huge preference other than to be centrally located so pool and boat launch aren't extreme walks.

    Would you opt for Four Seasons to save $600-800+?

    I booked a premium studio at Dolphin for less $300 a night. I highly recommend looking there. Location/Disney transport can't be beat. Check the availability calendar - pricing drops by half after the 19th. Something must be going on then...

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

    We have an 820 reservation with a 9am opening. Hopefully not too bad if we get to the bag check by 745/8am? It's a good mile or more to walk it via IG and rather save those steps if possible. All ears if there's a better solution :)

    Trying to minimize that much walking and time - can we take to boat directly to the Canada launch? Maybe just easier to Uber :)

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

    Tried searching but didn't see this and hope someone may know :) I have a PPO breakfast for Garden Grill-Epcot. Generally we walk or boat to over but since it is near the main entrance is the bus or Uber our best best? Not sure how far the walk would be from IG to there? Is it even open at...

    My dates 15-22 had a slight price decrease from when I booked earlier this summer. Was about $100 but I'll take it. I had a king premium studio. If you just booked, likely you got quoted the same rate. So savings to me but likely you have this already. I think it was $318 pre fees/taxes.
