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.

Booked this resort because my kids were impressed by the looks on our previous trip. We had high expectations, considering the $500 a night rate, plus fees. The buildings are huge, but the rooms are very small, specially the bathrooms. We are very tall and could not fit without hitting a wall in the bathroom. The food is very expensive and not good at all. We ended up walking to the nearby hotels for better food. We also expected to see more families, but instead there were mostly adults traveling for a convention. They took most of the hotel space, specially the lobby, it was loud with people drinking, so not family friendly. Felt very awkward being around so many people in suits, while we were vacationing in shorts. I cannot recommend this resort for a family vacation, but only for a business trip.

Fantastic Disney Marriott Resort

Wonderful stay at the Swan!
We typically stay at the Dolphin once a month, but this time we found a great rate at the Swan, the Dolphin’s sister resort, and decided to stay here again.

Wonderful stay at the Swan!
We typically stay at the Dolphin once a month, but this time we found a great rate at the Swan, the Dolphin’s sister resort, and decided to stay here again. The Swan offers a quieter atmosphere — perfect if you prefer a more relaxed vibe without a large, bustling lobby bar. The rooms have recently been updated with new flooring, and unlike the Dolphin, the Swan features queen beds instead of doubles, which we really appreciated.
The location is fantastic, within walking distance to Disney’s BoardWalk, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. As a Marriott Platinum member, I also love that both the Swan and Dolphin consistently honor excellent upgrades. Thank you, Disney Swan, for another great stay!

Nicer “Disney” Hotel & Convenient Location

This was our second time staying here. We are a family of 4: 2 adults & 2 teens. We did a split stay: 3 nights at Port Orleans Riverside and 2 nights here. We coordinated our Park days to take advantage of this location, which is walking distance (or a boat ride) to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Highly recommend the boat. We never waited more than 5-10 minutes. And the ride over is about 5-7 minutes. The hotel itself is Westin level and very much has a resort feel. Checkin was fast. And we were able to get a room right away (11:30am). Never had to wait more than 30 seconds for an elevator. Multiple pools, restaurants, and fitness center. We ate at the Cabana pool side restaurant. Service and food were good. The hotel room was freshly renovated. Very clean and modern. Light and bright. Quiet. My only criticisms are 1) there is no fan in the bathroom, which seems crazy for a newly renovated room. It was very steamy and took a while to dry out and 2) as others have mentioned, sadly the beds are not the usual Westin quality. They were very firm and more uncomfortable than lower end Marriotts I have stayed at. Even with these small criticisms, I would definitely stay here again. The location, cleanliness, relaxed vibe, and luxury feel are worth it.

Great Location and lovely communal areas , But That’s Where It Ends
The Swan Disney Hotel is in a fantastic location—close to the parks, great views, and easy access to everything. Sadly, that’s about the only thing it gets right.
The bathrooms are tiny and very dated—I’ve had more space and comfort on cruise ships. Definitely not what you’d expect at this price.
We paid $12 for a fruit salad by the pool, and after a long wait, all we got was a bowl of melon. No variety, no effort, just overpriced disappointment.
When I asked for a duvet cover for my daughter’s pull-out bed, housekeeping dropped off the duvet and cover separately and left them on the bed—as if we were expected to make it ourselves.
Despite the website claiming the pools are heated, all of them were freezing. And we weren’t the only ones complaining.
Room cleaning was basic and always late in the day. When it did, it was very basic—certainly not up to standard for a hotel of this caliber.
The most frustrating part? The hotel doesn’t seem to care. It feels like they know they’ll stay booked because of the Disney name, so feedback and complaints are met with indifference.
Would not stay here again, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you only care about location and are willing to accept a subpar experience.

I've stayed here with my family a couple of times. This most recent was a bit more complicated bc of multiple reservations made at different times for different people in my family but the hotel did a great job of keeping everything in order and making sure our rooms were close to each other. Additionally, a shout out to Danny who helped us with our insane number of bags multiple times. Incredibly patient, professional and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.
