I notice the Swan and Dolphin aren’t listed there

I think they get is also - they are consider onsite - non-dis but onsite hotels. Kept in mind WDW charges non-dis resorts for this privilege. So it can be taken away at any time. that say though the 4 Seasons was onsite as well?????

 

[pindecisive]

Thanks for this info! We're looking into staying after October at one of the hotels on the list

The S&D are not on the list. According to the S&D thread on the Disney Resorts board, Marriott is "in touch with Disney" about it. No one knows why they're left off - I wonder (have no information, just speculating) whether it's related to whatever caused them to start providing their own buses to the parks as well.

Hi, I'm staying at one of the partner hotels which qualifies for Early Entry. How do the cast members in the parks know that I qualify for this perk? Do I show a room key, copy of hotel conformation, other??? My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I've searched and didn't see anything.

Your room key will work.
