Is it definitely classed as on-site for the bag move?

Yes we had a balcony with an Epcot view.

Yes, we were able to move bags to the Dolphin from CSR. We could have also done it the other way but chose not to as they say it can take several hours.

I’ve booked cash backups twice for my DVC (given I’ve had to cancel the DVC to avoid points going into holding etc) and both times I’ve booked Dolphin on hotels.com where you can get the king suite (corner room with large sofa bed) usually much cheaper than DVC deluxe. No downsides to it as far as I can see. Walk to 2 parks and a few minutes to Yacht Club for the busses.

Thank you. We will be hitting up Epcot and taking swimsuits with us in case our bags still haven’t arrived at FQ when we do!

We are in similar position. I had October booked with Waldorf Astoria and Swan as options both around £2.5k/£3k for 14 nights. 2022 is more than double.

Thinking of booking a single night at Swan during our Apr/May trip next year.

Main reason for doing this is the location to HS early for Star Wars May the 4th.

If I stayed on the 3rd May would this count as being "onsite" and able to book a ROTR LL at 7am on the 4th?
Would I also be able to book an Olga's ADR sooner than normal?

The rest of the 3wk trip is at Universal, so this was just gonna be a 1 nighter in a suite treat just for the perks and location.

If the perks aren't there at Swan specifically I'll probs look at Boardwalk for a night?
