@kylenne & @Tess - yes she's sold AE, how much she still owns or is involved isn't really clear though. But this article in the Orlando Sentinel confirms it.
No dates that I can find. I would expect roughly the same dates as in the past. I'm sure we will be getting an email about it soon though.Curious if anyone has heard anything about the annual Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic event for 2024? I feel like dates are usually announced much earlier in the year ... it says it will return but dates are TBD. Are there construction issues they have to work around? We've enjoyed this event, particularly as Disney eliminated their festival events, such as Party for the Senses (TBD if those return in '24 as well).

Email came today. Here is info.November 15th and 16th according to disney food blog
Well there is not a freezer section but I would call it a regular fridge.Are the mini fridges at the Swan Reserve actual fridges or the "beverage coolers" found at the other Disney properties?
Apologies as I'm sure this has been asked before - but will the Dolphin reception accept and keep grocery deliveries before you arrive, as you'd get in Disney hotels? We probably won't arrive until about 9.30pm so was hoping to have stuff waiting for us ready to make up breakfast and packed lunches.
If it's not possible, are there any resort shops nearby that would sell milk (inc oat milk)/fruit/bread etc?
When we were there in December, there weren't really any groceries at Picabu. I think there was a cooler full of beverages and maybe some cold cereals out, but definitely more like the quick service restaurants than the groceries at Fuel or Java. That would be something I'd love to see them bring back!Having not been there for several years now, does Picabu still carry a limited selection of groceries?
Thanks for the feedback, Karalee. Too bad, they used to have a nice selection of necessities.When we were there in December, there weren't really any groceries at Picabu.

I don't know but it is one of the best smells. I love the SR so much. I'll be at the Swan in 3 weeks and I'm jazzed but I will miss staying at the SR. The AP rate was just too good to pass up for a balcony room at the Swan! So I can ask if you would like me to!We were just at the Reserve again last week. I don't recall the lobby having a scent 2 years ago, but WOW was it great. Seemed different than the swan or Dolphin. Anyone know the scent? I got a Bergamot Waters candle (saw it mentioned somewhere) from bath & body works but that's not it.
Thanks for the heads up for everybody.For those with Amex credit cards a new Amex Offer came out for Marriott. Showing up on business and personal cards, offers are incredibly varied and range from 20%-40% off, not everyone has an offer.
Swolphin brands are Sheraton, Westin and Autograph so all should qualify.
Thanks for the heads up, I checked mine and I don’t have a percentage offer but get a statement credit for spending $250 or more offer. Maybe I’m too new to Amex (I just got this card in Feb).For those with Amex credit cards a new Amex Offer came out for Marriott.

Who are we to argue with the universe?Hilariously though I also have an offer for Rosa Mexicano (probably because it’s local). They sure want me to book another Dolphin trip!
When I was Disney at March I was told POPs bell service is done by a third party and have different rules than other hotels.That's pretty pompous on Pop's accord.
