Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

[TexanInTheMidwest]

Hello All, does anyone have a current picture of the inside of the room mini-fridge?? Trying to figure out what cold items I can store...TIA

Just a standard fridge. I was able to store a small carton of cream, a dozen water bottles, a package of sliced cheese, and 2 bottles of wine.

FYI - don't put anything that can freeze toward the back - my cream froze....

Regarding transferring luggage between a Disney resort and Swan/Dolphin: I thought it was being done one way and not the other. Like you could get your luggage transferred from a Disney resort to Swan/Dolphin, but you could not get your luggage transferred from Swan/Dolphin to a Disney resort. I am posting this so that someone with actual knowledge can clarify, because someone upthread asked.

In July the Pop would not transfer our luggage to the Swan.

Thanks for sharing.

I wonder how long it will be before guests complain that the corridor carpet already looks faded and worn (inside joke for those who have followed this thread for awhile).

Thank you for sharing. Makes me really excited for our upcoming stay. Very nervous though, as well, as we are staying on points the week of Thanksgiving and we will be SOL if they don’t open.

Those carpets are clearly almost worn through. I mean, look at all those high-trafficked white sections on that pristine all-blue carpet!

Hi decided to upgrade our Dolphin rooms from no view to Deluxe resort view with a balcony. Just curious what to expect for a view? Other than Uber can anyone recommend transportation from the airport for one person? My son is landing several hours before us and wondering what his options are to get to the hotel.
Thanks!!

Transportation options:
Uber
Lyft
taxi

Tony Hinds (doesn't have a website, someone has to give you the contact info which I don't have)

There are other towncar companies, but those are the ones mentioned most often. I have used TIffany Towncar numerous times.

I always use Tony Hinds - feel free to PM me for his info.

Thanks I assume he'd be more expensive than Uber. Since he's traveling solo I was hoping for something reasonable. Wasn't sure if there were any shuttles/buses that went to the Dolphin from the airport.

Tony charges $60 each way which is totally worth it for me but know it's not for everyone.

You may check into the shuttle Mears has - (call Mears directly at 407-423-5566 and get pricing.)

The Mears shuttle stopped last year. Starting 01/01/2022, Mears will begin operating the Mears Connect service, which will operate to Disney and non-Disney resorts, for a fee.

You can check here for typical costs for ride share and taxi service. If you search online, there are usually coupons and discounts for ride shares. For example:

Uber promos

Thanks I guess it will have to be a Uber! Our trip is in two weeks.

@JennSaint have him grab the Uber & Lyft apps and price check, for the cost (unless they are in a surge pricing phase) its going to run $34-$40 and about the cheapest you'll find. Is he familiar with Uber/Lyft already?

Yes he is! I just wasn’t sure if there was a cheaper option like a shuttle!
Thanks everyone!

Does Bell Services accept grocery deliveries? I plan on using Publix / Instacart? Is there a fee? TIA
