30 or 60 day fast pass at Swan and Dolphin

Dilsy · 9 Aug 17, 12:02 PM

Thinking of staying at the Swan next summer but getting conflicting information re fast passes. The hotel says they do 60 days but Virgin holidays say the Swan is 30 days. Concerned if we book with Virgin it will only be 30 days and want to make the most of fast passes. Anyone know what the reality is?!

As far as I know it's 30 days as the swan and dolphin are not owned by Disney

Swan and Dolphin have a specific agreement with Disney, and can use 60 days FP and EMH same as resort guests.

Although double check, as I seem to remember when I was considering them for a night (couldn't get an Epcot area resort on one night of our stay) that the base SPG room rate may not have this - think I had to choose the specific Disney rate.

ETA: They don't qualify for DDP (free or purchased) though, being non-Disney owned. So if your stay is 5 or more nights, I would suggest a Disney hotel instead as the free dining offer is currently available for next year.
