Swan & Dolphin FP 30 days or 60 days

[Fudge123]

I was looking to book a few nights at the Swan & Dolphin with Virgin, as part of our holiday - we're staying at the Rosen Inn.
But the Virgin website says that FP's can be booked from 30 days at this hotel, i always thought it was 60 days?
I know we wont get Magic Bands, but should still get EMH.

Anyone stayed recently and been able to book FP's at 60 days?

Also, would this hotel show up on the MyDisneyExperience app if we do book?

Thanks

Your theme park ticket allows you to reserve FastPass+ 30 days in advance, so if you are within this window, feel free to proceed without linking your hotel reservation to save time. If you are within the 60 day window, please link your hotel reservation and theme park tickets to proceed in reserving your FastPass+
From S&D website, tbh I also thought they were 60 days

We booked two nights at the Dolphin last year through Hotels.com

We emailed hotels.com after booking and requested the official booking number which we then linked to MDE. We were then able to book FP at 60 days out.

We were also able to take advantage of EMH on the mornings of our stay.

We stayed in the Dolphin in July, we were able to book fast passes at 60 days and had EMH. Yes you need to add the reservation to the MDE app & link your tickets.

Hopefully it hasn’t changed in the last 6 weeks

Too be honest I would have thought it was 30 days as Swan & Dolphin are Marriott Hotels not actually Disney hotels which usually means 30 not 60 days out.
If it is 60 days out I will check them out myself for future holidays as a Marriott Platinum Member I could use my points instead of money.

Ok just to confuse things:
Swan and Dolphin FastPass Plus 60-Day
When you stay at the Swan and Dolphin, it does include the 60-day window for FastPass Plus. You’ll need to link your hotel reservation in your My Disney Experience account
This from a site called pointstoneverland

States that you don't get MB or DME but do get EMH & 60 day

They are classified as Disney partner hotels, and therefore they do have the perks of 60 day FP and EMH

I looked into this a bit a few months ago as we were considering booking The Dolphin through VH. While the S&D do get the 60 day FP+ booking, apparently booking though VH you don't get this benefit. Apparently because VH have arranged other benefits, such as free parking, a food voucher etc. It was unclear to me if you were able to link the reservation to MDE and already have valid tickets, whether you might be able to book FP+ at 60 days. However, if you're buying your Disney tickets through VH then from what I've read they don't give you the ticket number until 30 days before you travel, so you can't get FP+ at 60 days unless staying in one of the Disney resorts.

At the bottom of the VH page virginholidays/des...ld-swan-browse

Please note: by booking this hotel through Virgin Holidays you will be able to make Disney FastPass+ selections up to 30 days in advance.
