Stayed here for 4 nights with my wife this past week during our Disney trip. Very good value versus other Disney properties.
We had no issues with location and transportation to various parks. We used the Minnie service for the day we went into magic kingdom early to make it easier.
I will highlight that the AC works ridiculously well. It’s a pet peeve of ours and if you prioritize cold AC you will be happy. The lobby is freezing and you can’t make the room as cold as you want. Really….it works amazing.
You do of course miss some of the Disney magic you get at other resorts. If this is important to you and especially if you have young kids maybe look elsewhere. It is definitely more of a business/corporate vibe which we didn’t mind.
The quick service / coffee bar is excellent. Really stand out coffee. Being about to order in the app and have it ready as you head out is wonderful.
Had some small issues with housekeeping. Nothing terrible but still surprising. The phone system is all AI. You can’t really reach a person. So if you want to talk to someone to address an issue you have to go down in person.
We walked through Dolphin as well and it is gigantic. Much prefer the smaller feel of Swan.
We didn’t use the pool but walked by it. There are a surprisingly few amount of umbrellas out for the Florida sun. Plenty of lounge chairs available but if you want an umbrella it’s probably very hard to get. Seems like an easy fix they should resolve.

The Swan wasn’t overrun by kids like the Dolphin. So for my wife and I, this was perfect. We took the water taxi to Epcot and Hollywood Studios which ran every 20 minutes. What a great way to get around! The food in the restaurants was good and the cocktails even better. The Boardwalk was a short walk away. Perfect for an adult long weekend trip. Be aware… it’s pricey, but that’s to be expected when you stay on Disney property.

I stayed at the Walt Disney World Swan and honestly, I was blown away by how elegant everything felt. The design of this place is unreal — from the moment you pull up, the giant swan sculptures on top of the building set the tone. It’s not just another hotel; it feels like you’re stepping into a piece of art.
Inside, the style is so clean and sophisticated. The colors, the furniture, the way everything flows — it all feels intentional and classy without being over the top. It’s Disney, but with this extra layer of elegance that makes it stand out from any other resort I’ve stayed at.
Even little details, like the fountains and murals, add to the experience. You can tell so much thought went into the design, and it makes the whole atmosphere calming and upscale. I loved just walking around and taking it all in.
The location is also amazing — being able to walk or boat over to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios made the whole trip so much smoother. Even with all the convenience, the resort still felt like a retreat when I came back in the evenings. It was the perfect balance of energy and relaxation.
On top of all that, the service was excellent. Staff were friendly and professional, and they carried the same elegant vibe as the hotel itself. Everything about the Swan felt polished, comfortable, and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a resort that mixes Disney magic with refined design, the Swan nails it. I’d 100% stay here again. They even gave us a free room upgrade.

The hotel has a great location, close to the main attractions. Customer service was fine, though they can get very busy at times. The pools are nice, and the rooms were decent, with everything we needed. There’s an arcade room that’s perfect for kids, and the grab and go market was convenient. The property also has many restaurant options. The lobby is nicely decorated with a large fountain, and everything was clean. Overall, it’s a good option for visiting the attractions.

I stayed here for a work conference. Overall it was a good experience. Rooms were nice. View was great. Proximity to the parks was amazing. Having all of the transportation options is also a major plus! If you're looking for a great venue for a work conference, or a less expensive hotel option for tbe Disney Parks, I would highly recommend. The amenities were great as well. They have a pool with a waterside, full bar, paddle boats, full arcade, spa, restaurant, convenience store and much, much more!
