Welcome back to planDisney,Miranda! Thanks so much for sending us another question! How exciting that you will be vacationing this summer at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
I recently saw the newly completed Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. Wow! It is so beautiful! I'm happy to say that you can make all of your advanced dining reservations, for the length of your stay, 60 days from your check-in date. I stayed at the neighboring Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and was able to do this when my reservations window opened. I would recommend setting a reminder on your mobile device or making a note in your calendar.
Because this is your first time staying at the Swan Reserve, I want to make sure you are aware of some great benefits as a guest of this hotel! While the Swan Reserve has its own pool, you are able to use the pools at the Swan and Dolphin. There are five pools to enjoy in all as well as whirlpools, fountains, waterfalls, and a water slide! Our family loved having a pool day in between our park days and we booked a private poolside cabana in advance. I highly recommend this, especially since you are visiting in June! There are also many other recreation options included with your stay.
As a Disney Resort Hotel guest, you will also be able to enjoy Early Theme Park Entry each day at the theme parks and Extended Evening Theme Park Hoursat select theme parks on select nights. To make your travel easier to the theme parks, you will be able to use complimentary resort transportation. If you are traveling to Disney's Hollywood Studios or EPCOT, you can use water transportation which is accessible along the water in between the Swan & Dolphin Hotels. If you are traveling to Magic Kingdom Park, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, or Disney Springs, you will use bus transportationthat departs from your hotel.
Another part of your planning I wanted to make sure you are aware of is that you will need to make Disney Park Pass Reservations for each day that you would like to visit the theme parks. The World's Most Magical Celebrationwill be in full swing this summer and is not-to-be-missed! I especially love the new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, at EPCOT!
I hope this information is helpful as you are planning! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We're here to help at planDisney!
Happy Planning!
