Fastpass+ at Swan and Dolphin?
Thinking of the swan and dolphin resort but I see they don’t do magic bands? I’m confused as I haven’t been to Disney since Fastpass+ and Magic Bands where introduced so can someone explain how it all works staying at the Swan and Dolphin, can I still make fastpass+ reservations and can I buy a magic band from the UK ?
Thanks |

Glad you asked this because I've looked at these two before.
May I also ask do these two hotels entitle guests to the EMH? |

Anyone can book FP+ at 30 days before but only the Disney resorts offer the 60 days option - essential for popular rides like Flight of Passage. I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think Swan & Dolphin are included in this. You can buy a Magic Band in any of the Disney shops at WDW and link it to your MDE account - even if staying offsite. There are a few non Disney hotels offering EMH benefits etc. now but I don’t know which ones.

Yes you can book fast passes at 60 days. You will need to link your reservation to MDE. We got our magic bands on our first day as they were part of the offer on our tickets. Even if you don’t have magic bands all the information from MDE will be linked to your tickets.
We you get Magic hours staying at the Hotels. We stayed at The Dolphin in the summer. We really enjoyed our stay. Edited at 02:00 PM. |

Only problem we found was that some rides link magic bands to ride photos as nowhere to view them after,we didn’t realise this so haven’t got photos of us on the rides on sdmt,pirates of Caribbean,frozen,and haunted mansion😩I’m gutted😪Would have bought one magic band if we had known.
