How do I link Disney to Swan?

If you make the reservation through the Swan & Dolphin website, you'll need to link it yourself using your confirmation number. However, Disney has made that process very easy: your Swan, Dolphin, or Swan Reserve reservation confirmation number can be entered directly into MDE to link your reservation.



To link your reservation at the Walt Disney World Swan (or Dolphin/Swan Reserve) to your My Disney Experience (MDE) account in 2026, you need your Marriott confirmation number. Log in to the Disney website or app, navigate to "My Plans," and select "Link a Resort Reservation." Enter your confirmation number and the last name on the booking. If the system doesn't recognize the Marriott number immediately, you may need to wait 24–48 hours after booking for the systems to sync, or call the hotel directly to request their "Disney-specific" confirmation code. Once linked, you will gain access to essential "on-site" benefits, such as Early Theme Park Entry and the ability to book dining reservations for your entire stay up to 60 days in advance. In 2026, this link is also crucial for utilizing the "MagicMobile" service and managing your digital park tickets, ensuring that your stay at these Marriott-owned properties is seamlessly integrated into the broader Disney ecosystem for a smoother vacation.
