So the Swan and Dolphin are excluded, huh. That boggles my mind if true, being on property vs. the Hilton properties being on the outskirts of the parks.That was the previous version...

Swan Reserve has been added to the map
It's such a relief to know where the resort's chiller is.
Also, for reference, full screen map:
Small update - site now shows an August opening (reservations still open September 1st).

Figured I'd share here, but we had a booking at Swan Reserve starting on 9/5 and they just asked us to cancel due to construction delays. Bummer.
Did you say no?

The hotel will be closed, so saying no would just mean losing our Marriott points. For whatever reason, it's on us to actually cancel.
Swan and Dolphin still available for the same dates, but not really what we're looking for at this stage - shortened our Orlando visit and will hit up Swan Reserve at a later date. The rooms do look beautiful.

Another update with the opening moved to October. First bookable date on the website is October 13th.

It will not matter if there can not be any bookings available until next year. It is just another hotel tower that did not measure up to the concept & art projections. There will always be guests that want to be the first to stay a brand new hotel, sort of break it in and brag they were the first other than that its not a very inspiring or even interesting structure.

Gotta be some sort of materials delay.

Or staffing? We have Veterans day weekend booked but I feel like that may not happen. In that case, do they just book you a room at the Dolphin or Swan?
