I would almost think that a significant fire/emergency escape violation, at least that it would readily open out. Maybe not in, but not out seems dangerous.there is, but last week it didn’t seem to be open or usable!
They’ve done housekeeping for me the last two days at Dolphin. Yesterday it was making the bed and replacing the bottled water. Today I can tell they cleaned the bathroom and left a bunch more bathroom products as well. Maybe the tip I left out had them go a little extra. Otherwise, I’m in a standard no view double that I paid with an AP discount. No extra money paid here.If you don’t mind me asking are they going to charge you for this Service? We are going in May and this will be our first time staying at the the Dolphin. We love this area we have always stayed at either the Yacht or Beach. But like everybody else refuse to pay $$$$$!! Please report back about your stay and have a great time!!
It's been a bit hit or miss coming from Disney to Swan Dolphin (more hits that I've read about), this poster had luck from All-Stars, but another poster at AKL had issues. Issue seemed it was on Disney for not moving, so before you drop and go make sure they will do it if not grab an Uber and move them yourself so you don't get stuck playing find the bags. Have a blast on your trip!We are doing a split stay in May. Starting at Saratoga Springs and moving to Swan. Will Disney transfer our luggage? Or will we need to take an Uber and do it ourselves? This is our first time staying at Swan. Super excited, it looks beautiful!
Yes and no, sometimes some doors are maglocked unless a fire alarm goes off then they are released to freely open. This is done for building security, so you don't have unknown people getting inside without being seen.I would almost think that a significant fire/emergency escape violation, at least that it would readily open out.

As a followup...I asked the question to a friend who is a frequent Dolphin guest, and she said she thought she remembered it as a door with no outside doorknob.... like it could only be opened from the inside - so maybe for deliveries only, but can be opened from the inside in case of emergency...Yes and no, sometimes some doors are maglocked unless a fire alarm goes off then they are released to freely open.

Considering staying at the Dolphin this summer for our family vacation. We’ve stayed there before for a pre cruise stay but never for 7+days.
Concerned hearing all the trouble with linking and dropping MDE. We like the location and that they participate in extended evening magic hours but I’m hesitant with the MDE problems.
Wondering if we should just settle for PO-FQ? I just feel safer staying with a Disney property. Although, I love that walk to Epcot!

I cancelled Port Orleans in favor of Swolphin for next week. I stayed Swan Reserve and did not have any issues with the reservation dropping off MDE. It did drop off one time prior to the trip, but I added it back in and it stayed and I had zero issues with Genie or early park entry (or deluxe evening hours). I think the people that have the most issues don't include the right number of people in the original reservation, so then it doesn't transfer over to MDE correctly. I would stick with the location and Deluxe benefits (at the same cost) vs. a Disney moderate!

for us, it dropped once - we relinked and no issues from then on. No big deal at all!
For us, the ability to walk to Epcot, DHS, and board far outweighed having to link the account one time.
