Welcome to planDisney, Mike, thank you for your question!
Having
fully enjoyed a recent stay at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, I experienced a similar step backwards with my confirmation number. A quick call to the hotel, explaining my situation presented me with a confirmation number which I could then use to
link my reservation to My Disney Experience account and app. The friendly hotel agent even offered to link the reservation for me, and minutes later My Disney Experience account reflected my reservation at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel.
From that point, I proceeded with my
Disney Park Pass reservations using my valid theme park admission and made any remaining
Disney dining reservations. Mike, you may wish to download the Swan and Dolphin app for hotel services and other useful information during your stay.
Mike, if you booked your stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel through a Walt Disney Travel Company package, you
may be eligible for the
Quick-Service Dine Card program, I saved a lot of money and found this card useful towards many Quick-Service food and beverage locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort.
Being so near the
Disney’s BoardWalk area, you will have so much more to see and do, which is a quick Friendship Boat-ride between your visits to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios and don’t miss the fun and breezy
Disney Skyliner gondola service steps away from the Friendship Boat Launch near Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Pro Tips - Consider adding the
Disney Genie+ service to your theme park admission - a nominal fee per ticket, per day to save time waiting in lines for attractions that offer a Lightning Lane Entrance. At the Front Desk, inquire about forgoing a day's housekeeping, they offered me a food and beverage gift voucher - it doesn't hurt to ask!
It was a pleasure assisting you, Mike, I absolutely loved my stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, I rested well in the sleek, modern Guest Rooms, and appreciated the covered waiting area offering protection from nature's elements while waiting for the Friendship Boats.
Best Disney Wishes ~ Jacqueline
