Greetings, and welcome to planDisney, Nicole!
Staying at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel will present you with many unique benefits during your visit, especially proximity to
Disney’s BoardWalk area, EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios - you will also have the opportunity to ride the
Disney Skyliner gondola service! I love visiting during the
holiday festivities how exciting!
Having stayed at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel just a few months ago myself, I experienced an extra step in attempting to link and add any Guests to my hotel reservation. A quick call over to their Front Desk in advance of my arrival presented me with the reservation number that could be translated by the
My Disney Experience account which I then used to
link my reservation.
Planning and adding Family & Friends to My Disney Experience account was easier at this point by using the “Add a Guest” feature to add new people who were sent a request email to respond to, or it will import any Guest information from your hotel reservation by using the confirmation number and surname of the Guest/s on that reservation, and lastly, the app will also present you with a list of Guests who are already connected to you whom you can also add to your plans if you wish. The Walt Disney World Dolphin also offers their own, independent app which will detail your reservation, and offer useful information about, and services at the hotel.
Lastly, be sure to inquire if you are eligible to participate in the
Quick-Service Dine Cards program if you booked your stay through The Walt Disney Travel Company - which came in handy for me during my visit.
Pro Tips - The Swan and Dolphin hotels participate in a 'green initiative' program, at check-in please ask about passing up housekeeping for a day because, during my stay, I was offered a one-time nominal food/beverage voucher. Don’t forget to make your
Disney Park Pass reservations with your valid theme park admission in advance of your arrival.
I hope this information is helpful, Nicole, and I wish you a most magical visit to
The Place Where Dreams Come True!~ Jacqueline
