In June we transferred luggage both to the Swan (from POFQ) and from the Swan (to AKL). No issues either time. Just call bell services to come and pick up your luggage and tell them you're going to Bay Lake. I think they told us it could be 4-5 hours before it got there, which was perfectly...

Publix is at least a mile away, I think probably more like 1.5 miles. Not sure if the asker will have a car or not, but I definitely wouldn't want to walk it and carry groceries back. :lmao: From the Radisson, you can cross the street and walk past the Mini-golf/arcade place, there's a gas...

Yeah, that wasn't an option for us or I would have jumped on it! :) I got the choose between the points or a drink certificate. I chose the drink certificate, but never ended up using it, so at checkout I asked to have it converted to the points option. I think the resort fee and charge for...

Not trying to steer you towards an AP, but after a few trips this year I would say that FP+ really isn't that bad. Or at least it wasn't for us. There are aspects about it I would change, but overall we had a great system utilizing rope drop, last 90 minutes before park closing, and FP+ to...

We bought our annual passes in early March online, and activated them at the park in early April. For that first trip we didn't have magic bands for the AP, but did because we were staying at Wilderness Lodge. I believe in late April or early May Disney sent us an email saying all AP holders...

I'm not a Dolphin expert, but have been SPG gold for years. Typically you'll get an "upgrade" assigned to you before you checkin. I have that in quotes because it's usually nothing special, maybe just a higher floor . Occasionally you'll get an upgrade to a better room. At the Swan last...

You seem to have done your homework and factored in different pricing and such. I have a similar situation where I'm currently booked in both the Dolphin and Yacht club for a stay in Sept, I haven't decided which one to cancel yet. Both are great resorts, can't really go wrong with either...

We just returned from an 11 night stay at WDW, we did 1 night at POFQ, then 5 nights at the Swan, then 5 nights at AKL. Because of the one night stay at POFQ we thankfully didn't have any MDE issues for FP+. The stay at the Swan was great. We got there right at 4:00 and our room was ready...

I'm pretty sure you can do this directly form your DVA. Just call the ticketing number to upgrade tickets, then give your DVA number for payment.

This is how ours was. Two kings in the bedroom, along with the Jacuzzi tub. The bathroom was off the bedroom. The other room had a pull out sofa, a couple chairs, a desk, and a mini-kitchen with small dining table. There was a TV in both rooms.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Well, they definitely have them. I don't remember for sure about body wash, might just be a bar of soap, but they have shampoo and conditioner. If you want the specifics of what kind, you'll need to tell us if you're staying at the Swan or Dolphin, as they're different. :-)

Hey guys, here's my situation: Stay at BWV 12/11-12/14 12/14-12/24 go on a cruise 12/24 Back to WDW (resort not booked yet) Is there any way to use the first stay to make Dinner reservations for the 24th? Like maybe calling 180 days before the 14th and trying to get +10 days? Or can...

Glad you had a great time! Thanks for the info on towels. Since we won't have a car there next month I'm trying to figure out the best strategy for the buses. I wonder if the buses won't be as packed in the morning at the Swan because that's an earlier stop. We'll have one day where we do...

Try looking at individual days, every booking I've made has had one night of my desired date range completely sold out. In all 4 cases I've needed to shift my dates by one day forward or backwards. Hopefully that's the case for you and you have the flexibility to move dates a bit. Could...

I could be mistaken a bit, maybe that's not true for all bus routes. When we were there in 2013 our DTD bus stopped at BWI, Swan, Dolphin, YC, and BC in that order before taking us downtown. We got on at the Swan and got the last seats on the bus, though admittedly some of those people were...

This will all depend on availability when you check in, just like any other starwood property. If something better is available, the hotel has the option to give you a complementary upgrade. If you have status with a hotel program and the employee checking you in is in a good enough mood...

That's good info, thanks! We'll be there next month and will be headed back to the room each day after lunch for naps. I wouldn't have thought to ask for early housekeeping. We usually decline housekeeping in favor of 500 SPG points each day, but this will be a 5 night stay so I'm sure we'll...

I'm not sure I'd say that, since the S/D share transportation with three WDW resorts. :) I think that's just one of the worst things about staying in an Epcot area resort, all the resorts on one bus line.

Epcot view wasn't available when I called, but I was offered a balcony for 1,000 additional points. That's a no-brainer to me if you have the points to spare. :cool1: Unfortunately those rooms are rarely available when I've tried book.
