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.

I recently booked a stay which I had to cancel 3 days before due to a family situation. I was able to cancel my Disney “non refundable” reservations for a full refund with no problem. But the Swan refused to refund my one night deposit. I have re-booked for a later date a a Disney hotel on property at WDW. I would be very careful booking with the Swan and Dolphin, and choose a Disney owned hotel is at all possible. Read less

The boats to Epcot and Hollywood Studios are the same but the bus to Magic Kingdom drops you at the Transportation Center instead of at the gate. The bus to Disney Springs drops you at the ride share location. We walked to the Boardwalk and took the Disney transportation which worked out better. Read less

First Class, upscale Disney/Marriott property. Great location and easy access to parks via Boats, Buses, or walking. Restaurant within hotel is 1st class for breakfast; front desk associates on Sunday Dec 1 (4pm) were fabulous. Don't hesitate to reserve this spot!
