And Swan it now is! Price dropped so for less than $10/day more we’re at Swan nowDolphin. If Swan were a choice also, the Swan.

Yes, the business center has shopping available.Quick question. Does the business center at S/D have boxes available for shipping items home?
THanks!
I'd suggest looking into COSTCO packages or AAA rates.Good morning
I am looking to book five nights at either the Swan or Dolphin in May. I was wondering where everyone is finding their best prices or deals? I think we used Priceline last time we booked in 2019, though anything non refundable is completely off the table for us now.
I am prepared to book, I just didn’t want to be missing a deal if there is one out there.
Thank you!

Swan room rates in May with QWH passholder discount was the cheapest I found.Good morning

Looking at the 2nd week of Feb starting 2/07...any clue why Swan is posting rates of almost $600/night? Dolphin is showing up at the more typical 300ish rate.
We are a party of five staying at the swan reserve currently including my mom who has mobility issues. We had a one bedroom suite which was nice with having a large area to keep a scooter for my mom and a nice big table for keeping our things. The room was the closest to the elevators which was convenient
as well.
Yesterday, we returned from Animal Kingdom in the early evening to get ready for a nice dinner at Shula's. When I went to open my suitcase to get something out, I noticed it was extremely wet. Then noticed that the table was wet.I looked up and the ceiling area above was leaking. Everything we had out on the table was wet. Thank goodness yesterday was planned as our early return to the hotel night as things in the room would have been even more wet.
We had to pack up our room, could not relax and get cleaned up for dinner after a tiring day in the park, had to delay our dinner at Shulas and ended up having to go to bed much later than anticipated last night after having to deal with this unexpected hassle.
Since there were no suites available, we were moved to 2 standard rooms instead. After being in the suite, the rooms seem tiny, especially with a scooter and wheelchair in the room. The hotel only offered us credit towards our dinner last night after we complained about the room issue with the leak. I asked for our room to be reimbursed for last night. Because we booked through Disney, I was told they could only offer us points or hotel credit. Lesson learned, I would never book Swan Reserve, Swan or Dolphin through Disney nor would I recommend it (and for me personally, I wouldn't stay here again.) It was an extremely frustrating night and now I am just too tired to get up and get ready for rope drop this morning and for the seven am anxiety booking time.
I didn't mean to imply it was the cheapest time overall. I was looking for end of May dates, and it was cheapest compared to other hotels I was looking at (Disney resorts only). I think it was the same price (or a bit cheaper) as POFQ, even considering all taxes and fees. I booked directly through Marriott website.Haven't checked in a while but Easter was the cheapest weekend I could find.... assume it's a slow conference time. I just knew I didn't want to be there for those crowds.
So sorry about the problems you are experiencing. If you will still be there for a number of days, you may want to ask if you can be moved to a suite at the Swan or Dolphin, instead of having to stay in two standard rooms at the Reserve.We are a party of five staying at the swan reserve currently including my mom who has mobility issues.

Yes the bus service changed around end of September 2020.I have some questions about buses. is it true they don’t use WDW buses and have their own dedicated buses, and thus for MK they drop off at TTC?
if so,
1) for MK and AK, where on the bus area at the parks are the spots for the Swan/Dolphin buses? (I've always stayed on site so not sure where the 'offsite' buses drop and pick up)
2) for MK, could an option be to just catch the bus at Boardwalk? (I’m assuming that’s the closest of the area resorts)
3) how often do the buses for each park come around and how reliable are they? I remember one stay at the Boardwalk where I waited about an hour for a bus for AK… was not fun (looking at you missed Fast Passes). Wondering if S/D have dedicated buses there are less problems.
