When planning your Walt Disney World vacation, one of the first steps is deciding where you’d like to stay. With all of the changes Disney is making lately, there are two hotels in the middle of Disney World that can meet your vacation needs! Here’s why you should stay at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts.
Perfect Location
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort sits in the middle of the Disney magic. Located between Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests can even view fireworks from some of the rooms (when firework shows return to Disney World). It’s also right next door to Disney’s Boardwalk area.
Transportation Options
If you are traveling to Orlando to stay at the Swan & Dolphin, you will need to find a way to get to the resort from the airport. However, once you are at the hotels, you can enjoy complimentary transportation to and from the Walt Disney World theme parks. Complimentary shuttle bus service to Disney Theme parks and attractions with buses departing approximately every 20-30 minutes from the front of the resort or take advantage of complimentary parking at Disney Theme parks with your room key and MyDisney Experience App reservation confirmation, or you may opt to take a leisurely stroll to either Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios via convenient walkways located at the resort.
Affordable
You may be thinking that a hotel in the middle of Walt Disney World must be expensive right? Nope! The Swan and Dolphin are very affordable! For a family of 4 staying for a week in April, the Walt Disney World Dolphin was $162 per night compared to Disney’s Pop Century was $201 per night and Disney’s All Star Movies was $157 per night the same week.
Rooms
Rooms in both Swan and Dolphin include a minifridge, hair dryer, safe, television and lamps with charging stations. The beds are high enough off of the ground that you can stash your luggage beneath them.
At the Dolphin, you’ll find the following options:
- Traditional King or two doubles
- Family Room (King with sleeper sofa; L-shaped, larger room)
At the Swan, you’ll find the following options:
- Traditional Room (King with sleeper sofa or two queens)
- Deluxe Room (King with sleeper sofa or two queens with balcony)

Both Swan and Dolphin offer suites, as well as rooms with fireworks views. No matter the size of your family, there is room for you at the Swan or Dolphin!
