No Christmas decorations yet... we are here thru Sunday so I'll keep an eye outAny reports of Christmas Decorations up at Swan/Dolphin? I would LOVE some pics!!
As guests of an onsite resort Swan & Dolphin guests have a legit entitlement to access all Disney transportation just like any other Disney World guest. Even day guests have access to all Disney transportation. Even if they don't get direct Disney bus service from or to the Swan & Dolphin at this time.but it's not fair to add to people who are legit entitled to Disney transportation.
Hi! With the new Mears bus service dropping off at TTC, what is the best option for getting to the Magic Kingdom for rope drop? I’m debating walking to Yacht Club to get the Disney bus, getting a mobile breakfast order at the Contemporary and walking or taking the Swan bus/switching to monorail at TTC. Please let me know your thoughts as this is our first trip...thank you!
But to the parks they have elected to go the Mears route rather than continuing to offer Disney transportation from the Swolfin. It's not fair to cram the Disney busses just because you don't like Mears. You have the option to stay at a WDW-owned and operated property
We don't actually know the details of how the switch to Mears was decided. We don't know that they "elected" to go with Mears.But to the parks they have elected to go the Mears route rather than continuing to offer Disney transportation from the Swolfin.

Thanks, great info! .
I feel like I read a post some pages back from a recent visitor who said that during their stay they were told to use the app for requests and that the page submissions weren't being monitored. Can't remember where I read it though.
An upgrade would be nice, though it certainly isn't expected. That was another reason I thought a split stay might have an edge, if they might be more able to fulfill a request/preference if we are checking in early in the morning or afternoon vs when we arrive around 10pm the first night...
I would do online checkin and then use the messaging feature in the app to make your request. I did this and heard back right away and all room requests (location, floor, etc) were honored.Hi everyone! For past stays at the Swan I've made our room request using the concierge email from the page, but I saw this. I must have scrolled back 50+ pages trying to find the reference to the note that page submissions were no longer monitored.
Does anyone know the current best practice to make room requests? We'll be back at the Swan 12/17-12/19, and I'd like to get our request noted. Thanks so much!

Very nice! Do you know (or does your receipt say) what that room is actually called? I have booked a room which the phone CM referred to as a “premium studio with two doubles and a queen sofabed” and my confirmation says “2 Double Beds,Premium Guest Room,Sofabed.” None of these names align exactly with the verbiage on the SwanDolphin website or the many images I find online.Checked in last night and had some good luck and got upgraded!
That looks awesome, but she said it would only have one bathroom. Sorry—I left that out, and the description in my email doesn’t specifically say that. I’d feel pretty pixie-dusted if we end up with this!!@cgattis that sounds like you've got the 2 bed version of the Grand Suite without the King bed.
