Walt Disney World Swan

Walt Disney World, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

Next to the Walt Disney World Dolphin and the Swan Reserve, you’ll be wowed by what’s on offer across these three resorts. Being a partner hotel of Disney, by staying here you'll have access to a whole host of exclusive benefits that will allow you to make the most of the parks - with early entry every single day as well as extended hours at the end of the day on select evenings too! As well as this, you can use the complimentary transportation to the parks - although you won't need it to get to EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios, they're within easy walking distance (or a scenic water taxi ride). And our favourite thing about staying within this complex of hotels, is the fact that you have access to the facilities of all 3! So that's over 20 restaurants and bars, 6 pools, a spa and daily activities for all ages to just name a few. Staying here will ensure you get the upmost of your Walt Disney World trip, but you'll also have plenty to keep you entertained on non-park days too.

This hotel is huge but does a good job of managing the crowds. The rooms were clean and close to Disney (Epcot and Hollywood Studios).

This is not a Disney resort per se, operated by Marriott. The service was top notch. The room was comfortable and clean, actually the whole place was impeccable.

We ate one breakfast at the Garden Grove which was excellent. Just a short walk to Boardwalk or Epcot. Water taxi service to Hollywood Studios. My one and only complaint was paying for parking $38 per day and a tacked on resort fee of $45 per day that I was not expecting. Read less

Mar 14, 2025 divo2boys Collierville, Tennessee

They don’t have our room we requested and not ready at 3pm. We stayed at The Green last time her and this is our first time at the Swan. Not a good start to our vacation. We were here on time and still not ready. Don’t recommend unless you want disappointment. So here we sit waiting for a room past check in time.

They give us some BS about housekeeping is still cleaning the room. UH NO- check in is 4:00 PM! There were 5 other couples in the same boat as us. We asked for a refund and they refused because we booked through hotels.com. They offered us 100 bucks to use at the hotel bar that closed in 15 minutes and free valet for our trouble. NO THANKS IT'S MIDNIGHT. We left and drove 2.5 hours home. We had to fight with this hotel for DAYS to get a refund from hotels.com cause the hotel wouldn't answer any of their calls. AVOID AT ALL COST. Read less

My adult daughter and I just spent one night before a Disney Wish Mother/Daughter cruise together and loved this property! It was so easy to walk over to the Boardwalk hotel the morning of the cruise and take the Disney shuttle bus to the ship. Maybe a 5 min walk? By taking the Disney transport we were able to get boarding group 3 and were one of the first ones allowed to board the ship! The Disney Swan had wonderful pools and hot tubs for after our flight to Orlando, and many options for food including the entire Boardwalk and Disney resorts restaurants as well. They offer unlimited bottled water included in your resort fee ( which was high at $50) but for location it was worth it to us. The rooms have just been completely redone and they were very nice! My husband and I are taking a quick long weekend together and we will be returning in just a few weeks! Read less
