Disney4me Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 If you’re struggling to figure out which Disney World hotel you’re going to stay at for your vacation, may I humbly suggest the Swan and Dolphin? Swan and Dolphin Hotel Located in the heart of Disney World, these hotels might not be Disney-owned, but they come with some of the same deluxe benefits at a more moderate price point. I’ve stayed here multiple times, and every single trip, I find myself booking another stay before I’ve even checked out. From unbeatable location perks to incredible dining, here’s why the Swan and Dolphin keep pulling me back in. The Price Is Right If you’ve looked at Disney hotel prices lately, you know they can get quite high. The Swan and Dolphin sit in that sweet spot where you get deluxe-style perks without the deluxe price tag. Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin These hotels often run cheaper than Disney’s deluxe resorts but still offer perks like Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours which are huge bonuses if you want to maximize park time. Plus, when you compare these prices to Disney’s moderate resorts, you’re sometimes paying the same amount for WAY more benefits. Walk to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios This is probably the #1 reason I keep coming back. The Swan and Dolphin are within walking distance of EPCOT (and a quick Skyliner trip to Hollywood Studios), meaning you can skip the bus and get to the parks faster. EPCOT International Gateway Entrance I love being able to take a quick stroll over to the International Gateway entrance of EPCOT or hop on a Skyliner to Hollywood Studios. If you’ve ever been stuck waiting for Disney transportation at the end of a long park day, you know how valuable this is. A More Grown-Up Vibe I love Disney, but sometimes I want a break from the all-day, in-your-face theming. The Swan and Dolphin strike a perfect balance. It’s a beautiful resort! You still feel like you’re in Disney World, but the atmosphere is a little more relaxed compared to some of the more heavily themed resorts. If you’re traveling with adults or just want a quieter retreat after a chaotic park day, this is a great place to stay. The Restaurants Are Top-Tier For a hotel that’s technically on Disney property, the Swan and Dolphin have some incredibly good food. There’s something for everyone here, from the sushi at Kimonos to the Italian food at Il Mulino. bluezoo restaurant bluezoo is another standout if you’re looking for a high-end dining experience. And if you want a quick breakfast or coffee before heading to the parks, there are solid grab-and-go options as well. Close to Two Other Great Disney Resorts One underrated perk is that you’re right next to Disney’s BoardWalk and Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, which means even more dining and entertainment options. Beaches & Cream A short walk puts you at Beaches & Cream (hello, Kitchen Sink Sundae) or the BoardWalk’s lively nightlife. Even if you’re not staying at one of these hotels, being this close makes it easy to enjoy what they have to offer. Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin at night The Swan and Dolphin are my go-to for a reason. You get a deluxe-like experience without the insane price tag, amazing dining options, and one of the best locations in all of Disney World. While it may not have the same over-the-top theming as some Disney-owned hotels, the perks far outweigh that minor trade-off. If you haven’t given these hotels a shot yet, they might just become your new favorite Disney World stay. In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest from Disney.
