Are the Swan and Dolphin conspicuously missing from this list??
I was wondering the same thing. We are holding reservations at the new Swan Reserve for November. I was wondering if it would get evening hours, but now it appears it won’t get either?! If so, time to find a new hotel.
No Swan and Dolphin? That’s not gonna go over well…..
So are the swan and dolphin ineligible?
Interesting – no WDW Swan/Dolphin/Swan Reserve? We have a trip booked there for October and I find this unusual considering Swan/Dolphin were always EMH eligible. I’ve put in a message to Disney to clarify…
Is the omission of Swan/Dolphin intentional? It doesn’t make sense to me that other off-property hotels are listed but not Swan/Dolphin and I’m wondering if it’s just a mistake?
Would you know if Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin are included in the eligible resorts for early entry beginning October 1st?
Where did this list come from? I just had to call to inquire about Disney Swan Reserve. I was told yes but plan on confirming with Disney vacation planners directly.
That’s what has been provided thus far, it certainly can change.
What about Shades of Green? They have always been included in the past. Please let us know!
Shucks, was hoping Margaritaville cottages were going to make the list
No Swan and Dolphin?
Do you know if swan and dolphin are included in this?
I see the Shades of Green along with the Swan and Dolphin didn’t make the list
What about Swan and Dolphin?
Am I just missing it, or is Shades of Green is no longer on this list!?
Any thoughts as to why Shades of Green was left off this list? Guests here usually get some or all of the same benefits as “on property” resorts.
Interesting that the Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve are not on this list. Does anyone have an update on these properties? Thanks
