Can't wait to see pics of rooms and reviews at Swan Reserve, hopefully something tonight!
Same.What's the deal with Swan and Dolphin reservations falling off MDE? I booked last week through Marriott and was able to link the next day no problem. Since then the reservation has disappeared from MDE twice and I've had to relink it. Weird.
Many Marriotts would give Elites bottled water as a welcome gift. Not the same thing as SPG I know. All of the former SPG properties I stay at continue the free bottled water and most marriotts (particularly the “value” properties like FI & TPS will always toss some water at you on check in and happily give you more during your stay on request. Of course, I’m sure a RC is happy to sell you a bottle of VASA (or whatever it is) for $8 from the minibar@jimrpa I get the water bottle annoyance, but the free water bottle(s) of water was an SPG benefit that Marriott dropped (quietly). But S/D has continued and a few other SPG properties I stay at still do too. Policy was always 2 free extras would cost, but I'm not sure they charged. During Covid they seems much more willing to refill with more than just 2 though. I bet if you ask housekeeping they will probably still give you more. Enjoy your stay and thanks for the live reporting.
I was there 10/27-11/3. Housekeeping came 2 times without being asked.Is there daily housekeeping at the Dolphin?
Thanks! I just booked this room. Was coming here to see if there were any pics!Pictures of a Signature Suite at Swan Reserve

Does the reserve get access to the new deluxe extra magic hours?
Hi-this is the first time I am staying at the swan but I was only able to get a reservation for one night out of my stay there. I am trying to find out how if works for parking at Disney and the early magic hours. Do I get early access on both my check in and check out days or just my check out day? What about parking at Disney? Do I have to go to the swan to check in early to get a room key or can I show my reservation through my Disney app? I am not sure how to show a key if my room isn’t ready yet or if it is on check out and I have to return my key before leaving.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Yes they do.. Mondays and Wednesday nightsDoes the reserve get access to the new deluxe extra magic hours?
Yep. Actually, the concept is pretty cool and unlike anything else at Disney. I’d say it’s close to a boutique hotel. They are still getting into the swing of things. First day startup and all, but from what I’ve seen, it definitely is worth the premium. The closest analogy I can think of is the little high end hotels inside the huge hotels in Las Vegas.Does the reserve get access to the new deluxe extra magic hours?
Yes, I have a microwave. I don’t understand about stacking the breakfast coupons. They are dated and valid for the member and one guest. They can be upgraded. For example, you can upgrade from the continental buffet to the full buffet for $15.99. I did this. The buffet is small but the quality is very good. I’d say better than the garden grove buffet. There is no custom omelet or eggs station. They do have eggs Benedict on the buffet. I just heard a server tell another table that omelets can be ordered if you are getting the buffet.Is there a microwave for guests to use at the Swan Reserve, like at Dolphin? And do folks know if platinum breakfast coupons are stackable (say for a five night stay, use several of the coupons together)?
What's the earliest someone has been able to get in the room?
Getting in at 9am check in at 3... long day
