Maybe have them charge to your room and then use the gift card toward your final bill.Can you use Marriott gift cards at Fuel and the restaurants inside the Swan and Dolphin? I assume I can use them to pay for my room.
So I went for it and booked the first week in August at Dolphin resort. They had plenty of availability, it was relatively cheap, and I am able to cancel up to 24hrs prior. Now all I have to do is renew my AP when it expires the end of June and hope to score park reservations for multiple days. I’ve decided that if I am only able to reserve 1 or 2 days then I will just cancel the trip.
I got nervous as well when it wouldn’t let me link my reservation at first but after about 2 days it let me put it in!do you remember how long it took to be able to link your reservation? I have a res for the Dolphin and the website is telling me up to 72 hours but I’ve previously booked Coronado and Pop through Priceline and I seem to remember it being pretty quick. It was, at most, 24 hours. It’s been 24 hours now and I’m anxious to be able to link. I was also wondering if you were able to use the confirmation number found on your Priceline reservation (what I’ve used before) to link or if you needed a different number.
Thanks for the info!MLS has bought out the Swan and Dolphin for that time period. I would not wait for email response, but rather call them at 888-828-8850, if you have a paid stay (not points).
Thanks for the info! The Swan still hasn't replied to my email, but my reservation hasn't been cancelled so all is well.I called recently. The website mentioned closure is for new reservations. All existing reservations before July 29th will be honored. Per the Swan/Dolphin the double confirmation is because they are afraid of last minute cancellations.
I believe so. I just received 2 emails (I have two reservations with them) from swan and dolphin about the park reservation system.With the recently announced Park reservation system, you can make reservations starting on June 22: "Beginning June 22, 2020, Disney Resort and other select hotel Guests with valid theme park admission can make reservations." Do you thin the S&D falls into "select" hotels? I assume so but would like confirmation.
Yes, they are considered "select." As a matter of fact, I received an "urgent" email from the Swan/Dolphin, with Disney's new park reservation system info. That is more than I can say for Disney, as I never receive any emails from them besides resort reservations; that includes no AP email.With the recently announced Park reservation system, you can make reservations starting on June 22: "Beginning June 22, 2020, Disney Resort and other select hotel Guests with valid theme park admission can make reservations."

Anyone make a new Swan reservation lately? Wondering how long it has been taking to be able to link to MDE.
Welcome over! It’s nice to see a familiar face from the CL and NBA threads.Hi folks, I have an AP and just booked a room at the Dolphin for Labor Day weekend in case Disney doesn't release 2020 bookings in time. Even though this is just a backup reservation I'm actually really excited about the idea of being back at this resort! I grew up staying here on my family trips as a kid and have very fond memories of it. It's been ages though, back then it was still pretty new and they still had a tram taking the Crescent Lake resort guests to the IG!
I got a King room with a balcony since it's just me, figuring if I can't get into the parks at least I have a nice view. Those of you who've been recently, how are the new rooms and food options? And how does linking work for MDE, do you just use the reservation number? Thanks!
