![]() ![]() ![]() On our recent trip, we experienced great karma, and the bus to the Magic Kingdom pulled in as we arrived at the stop, and our return trip that night was effortless. On our first trip to the Swan we were frustrated by how long we waited for the bus for the Early Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom and hopped into a cab. The Swan and Dolphin also use official Disney Buses, and they run continuously every 15-20 minutes to the various parks, Disney Springs, and the water parks. Boat shuttles launch in between the Swan and Dolphin to provide water transport to both parks. Park Transportation at the Swan and DolphinĪs I mentioned, Hollywood Studios and Epcot are within reach by foot, though a decent walk for non-urban dwellers. Buy them online or at any Disney store at the airport or hotel you can link them to your my Disney Experience account yourself. Swan guests must buy Magic Bands on their own for entering the park and storing Fast Pass information. Magic Bands are fantastic and recommended when visiting the parks. I had a technical challenge and upon calling the hotel, I was impressed that there was a special voice prompt for this feature the staff member who answered helped me instantly. You must link your Swan confirmation number into the My Disney Experience account a few days prior to ensure the system properly recorded it. ![]() The best bonus is that Swan and Dolphin guests are treated like Disney resort guests with the same 60 days prior to check in to book their Fast Pass reservations online at My Disney Experience. Ready to go to Epcot Fast Passes and Magic Bands for Swan and Dolphin Guests Our favorite destinations include the Flying Fish Café in the Disney Boardwalk and Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club for ice cream and burgers. Families can rent a surrey to pedal around the circular path connecting all the hotels, though there is one bridge that you may need to get out and push a little. The best perk is that the Swan and Dolphin are adjacent to Disney’s Beach Club, Yacht Club, and Boardwalk, giving Swan guests numerous dining options on foot. The Swan location is flawless, as guests can easily walk to the back entry of Epcot near the France section of the International Showcase, and water shuttles are available to Hollywood Studios. Room Maintenance Needed Although rooms were renovated in 2015, rooms are showing wear and tear. No Magical Express service to and from hotel. If you are paying in dollars, the Swan and Dolphin are priced typically between $150 and $300 per night. Booking Reservations Swan and Dolphin Resort guests must wait for their reservations to be processed through the Swan and Dolphin Resort which takes up to three days. Rooms at the Swan and Dolphin require 50,000 Marriott points per night, though, of the two, the Swan is smaller and much nicer. The Swan corresponds to the Westin brand while the Dolphin is considered a Sheraton property. It’s fair to say they are the most Disney of the non-Disney hotels, but they are Starwood properties specializing in business conferences and meetings. The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort is not an official Disney World hotel. Views of the sun setting over the Swan Resort from the balcony ![]()
