Swolphin newbie here...
Forgive me if these questions have been asked before. There's 719 pages on this thread, so I figured I'd ask in one post.
Since our honeymoon in 1994, we've stayed at the YC and BC every trip, but now they've become unaffordable. Giving the Dolphin a shot because we just love the location near Epcot/Boardwalk/DHS. Going for my hubby's 50th and to enjoy the F & W festival at Epcot. That being said, can anyone answer a few questions for me?
1. Years ago before DME, we'd use Tiffany Town Car for transportation to and from MCO. If we were to do a Lyft instead, can they be booked in advance, or will we have a good shot of getting a Lyft for 4 adults when we land? We arrive on a Thursday around 10am.
2. We booked through the WDW website because we're going during hurricane season (mid-September) and I wanted to get the travel insurance and have the park hoppers all linked on the app together. Because of this, we couldn't choose room options-they only had 1 standard kind of room on the Disney site. Can I call Marriott-Bonvoy to see about perhaps getting a room with a view and balcony? Disney didn't have the capability to take requests when I called. I noticed on the Marriott website that they all different categories of rooms to choose from.
3. Is it easy to link our tix to a magic band? Is it worth it since we can only use it for park passes? I read somewhere that you could use your Apple Watch? Do tell...
4. Tell me your favorite things about Swolphin! I'm so excited to try a new resort (hubby is a creature of habit, so for the past 27 years, it's only been the Yacht and Beach...LOL!). All the little details that you love about them!
Thanks so much everyone!
