We are staying at the Dolphin in December. I have asked this question of Disney Internet help desk, dining help desk, and I've called the Dolphin Hotel direct. Most of them don't know what I'm talking about, but give me an answer anyway. So I've been told 'YES' several times, but I've read some places that the answer is 'NO'.

Does staying at the Dolphin/Swan allow for dining reservations at 180+10 days or just 180 days?

Thanks!

Thanks, Mouse Savers was one of the places I had read that it was a 'NO'. Just a little annoying that many of the Disney phone reps don't know what I'm talking about. Several told me 'yes', so if I hadn't researched on my own, I would be expecting to be able to do 180+10 in June. One girl told me that it was 180 minus 10 for Dolphin.... o_O

So what about FP, can you book your whole FP trip 60 days out from the first day you arrive? I'm pretty sure Dolphin does get the 60 day FP window...

All you can do is be ready at 180 days out. If they let you book past 180 days them you win. If the system does not, you have not lost anything as you are going to have to get up every morning to make ADRs anyway.

I appreciate all the help. I will try the Disney Planning number and see what they say as well. Yoda is right, I can just try on the first day of my reservation and see what happens.

The 180+10 is a perk for staying at a Disney operated resort. The Swan and Dolphin are not Disney owned or operated so the answer is a clear no. It will be 1 day at a time.

What's to stop me from making a reservation at a Disney resort for the same days, booking my ADRs, then cancelling the disney resort reservation?

If you link your reservation before the window, I believe you can. We stayed at the Swan last year, and I don't remember doing reservations 1 day at time. I could be wrong, but it seems like I remember doing them all at once. There are a lot of issue getting the reservation to link. The Dolphin will need to have all emails associated with a my disney account on the reservation in order to link it or it won't work right.
