I called last night to try to figure out how to link my swan/pop into
MDE, and the answer was to call Priceline and Orbitz for a disney confirm #. Still have our original Pop reservation and park reservations so we’re trying to add the new hotel reservations before canceling the old Pop reservation.
Reaffirmed some random things. CM said there won’t be luggage transfer from Swan since they don’t even have anyone to do that since no need for them with just the two marriotts, and Disney resorts only go to official disney resorts.
she’s heard about the skyliner situation and thinks that they may reevaluate the lack of buses to HS/EP if it gets worse.
there are no buses from Swan to HS and EP, you have to walk to HS the .8 miles, which surprised me. I was going to anyhow but that didn’t seem right, given those who can’t make that trip. She recommended that I walk to HS with my bags and use the skyline to CBR then Pop, given HS skyliner would open at 9 vs 10:30 for EP, the ride to CBR is 5 min vs 7 from EP, and the walk from swan is shorter. Or use uber, but no buses option.
I figure no charging to room via MB at Swan, which is true, but not a big deal for me given mobile order for most of our dining and having to use giftcard/credit card.
Luggage services at Pop is open 24hrs. If you need to check your bag early your last day. I downloaded the American Airlines app last night so no need to print any Boarding passes.
