Hi Michael,
It's always good to see you planning Disney at planDisney! I fell in love with the EPCOT Resort Area last year and am excited for your upcoming stay at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. My husband appreciated the convenience of being able to walk to two theme parks (Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT). I enjoyed the early morning strolls and evening entertainment around Crescent Lake.
I recently booked dining for an October stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. My experience allows me to confirm that Guests of the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
are able to make advance reservations for dining for their entire length of stay (up to 10 nights)
online 60 days before check-in. A new day of dining reservations opens at
6:00 a.m. EST. In my experience, a webpage refresh or two may be needed if booking right at 6:00 a.m.
I used my perk of time to book breakfast at
Trattoria al Forno, an ice cream lunch at
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, and a meal at
Steakhouse 71 before Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Recent changes to the Disney dining reservation process let you see all available reservations for a restaurant on a specific day, which is super convenient.
Before your Disney dining day, Michael, make sure your Walt Disney World Swan reservation appears in your
My Disney Experience account. I used the 8-digit confirmation number I received from Marriott to
link my reservation.
Thanks for making planDisney part of your trip-planning team. Hope to hear from you again soon.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
