You will have a view of swan or dolphin.Our reservation is balcony resort view. That means the Dolphin resort not the WDW resort, correct? TIA

Can someone tell me what kind of coffee pot (Keurig or filter pods?) are in the standard rooms.
And if anyone has current photos of the fridge, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

Have your receipt and head over to a Disney resort and have them ship it. Idk prices tho sorry.At the Dolphin atm and my partner went a little crazy with the Star Wars merch has anyone tried shipping a Savi's lightsaber or one of those droids from here? Any tips on where to do this and pricing would be appreciated!
Thanks Dan!

It's within the week leading up to it. I think their info says 5 day prior but we have gotten approval or denial anywhere from 3-7 days at other hotels. I had one put in for Swan Reserve on a points stay and it initially accepted the request...and now it's saying not available on the app but says pending on their pc web pageI applied suite rewards certificates to our Swan reservation next month. Does anyone know when they would post the room assignment? It still says 'pending' next to the suite rewards on our reservation. I know we might not get much since it's crazy bananas down there this spring but a girl can still hope lol. We have 20+ unused suite rewards and DH finally has ambassador status, and it's frustrating that we haven't been able to take advantage of either. (first world problems, I know)
I'm renting a car because I'll be doing some day visits away from WDW. Are there any parks where it makes sense to drive or is the SD or WDW transportation okay? We can walk to Epcot and HS, of course, but I'm wondering about MK and AK now that SD has its own transportation. Do the buses run as frequently as the WDW busses ran?
About the elevators. We checked in and received a room on a lower level (2nd fl maybe). You needed the elevator to get to it!! I had Wrongly assumed if I picked lower level I could just use a staircase. No- only elevator.
I went to the desk and they informed me the only place for stairs was the level they were on (3rd floor) and the 4th floor - you can see the stairs go down to the lobby. She switched our room and the 3rd floor was Super convenient. We were just down from the lobby and it was quick to the Escalator and food, boat, outside, etc. View was great of boatlaunch.
So you must request 3rd or 4th floor to get stairs option.
From what I've read from others the bus from S/D goes straight to AK. The space at AK is just as good if not a slight be better then the Disney parking lot you can see hereDoes the bus from Dolphin to Animal Kingdom drop you at the park directly or to the Transportation Center and then we have another ride to go?
Here is an interior view of the fridge if it helps.And if anyone has current photos of the fridge, that would be really helpful. Thanks!
There is a poor history of being able to use the SNA awards at S/D, with the Reserve it's gotten a bit better. I just didn't want you to get your hopes up to high, but I hope they come through for you.I applied suite rewards certificates to our Swan reservation next month....
Front entrance is up one level from the boat/walkway entrance.Is the front entrance on the same level as the boat/walkway entrance?
I figured, but with covid our certs are stacking up with no where to use them (the other Marriott we normally stay at upgrades us w/o the cert because of his status).There is a poor history of being able to use the SNA awards at S/D, with the Reserve it's gotten a bit better. I just didn't want you to get your hopes up to high, but I hope they come through for you.
Do the tvs get Disney cartoons like the other resorts?
OK, interesting info about stairs and elevators... so, if I have a scooter, and want to avoid elevators all together, which level would I want to request? Is the front entrance on the same level as the boat/walkway entrance? Is that where the lobby is? It's been awhile since I was in Dolphin, so all I remember is a big escalator, but I don't remember what was on the floor beneath or at the top.... I wish Touring Plans had more info for Dolphin/Swan.
So front entrance would be called the 3rd floor. But there is an escalator that goes down to boat level. Or elevator. Not sure why at that part it appears as 1 floor down, but i know that there was 2 floors of rooms below it and if I remember correctly Pikabu may have actually been down that additional level. Does that sound right?Front entrance is up one level from the boat/walkway entrance.
