The hotel

Recently opened in November 2021, the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is an all-new, modern, boutique property within the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin complex. With one and two bedroom suites, there's oodles of room for groups and families, and floor-to-ceiling windows to grab the best views of the surrounding theme park land. You'll have your own restaurant, bar, swimming pool and health club, and what's more, you can take a short stroll over to the Swan and Dolphin hotels and use all the facilities on offer there too. And being just a quick walk or water taxi to Walt Disney World Resort itself, you can be on those adrenaline-fuelled rides before you know it.

Stayed for a conference at Swan / Dolphin. I was originally booked into the swan and was offered the chance to ‘upgrade’ to the swan reserve. I was very hesitant and asked if it was further from the event venue and was told unequivocally it wasn’t. Well it is a hood 10 -15 minute walk from where the event was set up.

(I am not sure if they thought I wouldn’t notice I had to walk much further there and back each day!? Anyway the hotel I also wouldn’t recommend. It looks nice but has a tiny pool. Also when I tried to order food service no one answered the phone (I was told they were away???) so I walked downstairs to order and they weren’t able to take room service orders. Anyway just a mess! Honestly I expected a lot more from a bonvoy autograph hotel. Do not recommend. Read less

We stayed here with our family for one night after a Disney cruise and wish we could have stayed longer! The Swan Reserve is a smaller, high end hotel on the Swan/ Dolphin property. 2 minute walk to the Grotto pool at the Dolphin. My kids LOVED the pool and waterside. Easy to order food and drinks from the QR code on the loungers. Maybe 5 -10 min walk to the Boardwalk , Epcot, Yacht Club. Such a nice walk in the evening. We happened to walk by a movie and s’mores around 7:30 pm on the beach next to the pool. The pool at the Reserve was also so lovely. Small and quiet with great drinks. Live music on Friday evening. The little snack bar had great choices of snacks and wine. Being platinum member I had the choice of points, breakfast or charcuterie and a bottle of wine. We went with the charcuterie and really enjoyed it by the pool. We had an Epcot view suite and it was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids. Lovely view of the e fireworks. I would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful hotel near Disney parks. It was very convenient to get to Disney parks walking or using shuttles. I felt it was a good value with enough Disney magic to make the trip memorable, + you get Bonvoy points. There is not much to do at the hotel and the pool is small, but that was not a problem after long and Hot days at the Disney parks.… Read more

The best hotel in the Disney world area, hands down. Don’t even think of staying anywhere else. I was there for business and wanted a place that met my standards - but also was modern, comfortable, and higher end. This was it. Dyshawn the front desk manager was wonderful - and Bella helped before during after the stay. The best in the area.
