Walt Disney World Swan

Great service nice people. Great location. Only drawback was service at the Splash Terrace Bar in the evening. They ignored us completely. It was like we were ghosts and couldn't be seen. We were well dressed and looked like we had money even. Don't waste your time there. The management is terrible. Otherwise, the Swan is ideal.

Arrived Jul 09, in a 6pm thunderstorm, front desk was non-plussed and friendly. Room was ready and clean. Each floor has ~80 rooms so try to avoid rooms near busy elevator banks. Typical rectangle room w/ 37" LCD w/ ~30 channels + advert channels, Coffemaker w/ Starbucks packs in room, decent towels, very comformtable pillow soft beds. In-room internet is VERY slow (claim 300kbps) and costs $14/24 hr. If you pay $19 you supposedly get faster svc (didn't try). If you are going to need internet every day, buy the 'Resort Services Pack' at check-in and for $12/day you get slow internet, health club daily, and 2 free bottles of Disney water in your room. We did not have any problems w/ maid service and did not order room service. Did not get the food package. Food is expensive, with a relatively limited variety...but decent quality and not Airport Restaraunt expensive. Dolphin Hotel is 100 m away via covered walkway and appears to be slightly larger hotel of same good quality. Dolphin has Laundrymat, Video Arcade & "Dolphin Club for Kids (parents night out service). Each hotel has a very good gym (8+ treadmills, 15+ weight machines, squat rack, 5-> 50 lb dbells) and large (30m x 12m) rectangular pool w/ lap lanes. Both hotels also share a larger Lagoon-style pool w/ rock waterfall & one curved waterslide for the kiddos. Big pool is a 100m walk. All pools have free towels and (not free) bar service. The Parks: It is vey hot in July (36-38 C)and the lines for most attractions were 30-60 min. There are scoreboards before you enter the line, estimating your wait time. Most lines are reasonably shaded...but can still be hot. I have never seen so many accomodations for handicapped... and hundreds of electric scooter-chairs everywhere. You can buy "Fast Pass" tickets to cut your waite time on any attaction to less than ~10min. We didn't but, often wish we had.

Stayed here for 5 nights. The stay was restful with the heavenly bed. While the room was relatively small, was plenty big for the 3 of us sharing the room. Transportation to Disney was very convenient, preventing me from having to rent a car. My only recommendation is to bring your own snacks and refreshments. The Swan Hotel does not have a store with snacks. You have to go to the Dolphin hotel, which while not far away is not as convenient as I expect from a hotel. The only thing provided on a floor was ice. However, the rooms did have a refrigerator.

I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT THIS HOTEL. I LIKE THE FACT THAT ALL THE ATTRACTIONS WERE NEAR OUR HOTEL. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT WITHIN OUR HOTEL THERE WAS MANY FUN STUFF TO DO.

Great hotel .. We wish we stayed there longer in order to make use of all the available amineties at the hotel .. Great pools and a very nice place to relax .. The only bad thing was that the elevators smelled bad!!

Was a nice hotel that had everything you would want. The location to the parks was fine, the transportation was perfect. The bathroom could have used some updating. The balcony was dirty and didn't look like it was mantained. Was unable to utilize it due to its condition.

Access to Hollywood Studios was great...8 minutes by boat. Access to Epcot was available by boat also, but stops at the Boardwalk and the Yacht Club make this a trek. It's quicker to walk. Other than the bed, there was nothing special about the room to note - most of your time shouldn't be spent there anyway. The pool with grotto was really neat and a welcome getaway from the heat. It's neat that the swam and dolphin share amenities - the 24 hour buffeteria in the dolphin came in handy several times.

Our family went to Walt Disney World to celebrate my sister's birthday. When choosing the hotel to stay at we automatically tried for every Disney Resort, but most we already booked, or was way too expensive. Then we came saw the Dolphin and Swan hotel. The price at the Swan hotel was very reasonable and the location was amazing. The hotel itself was spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was perfect for a family of 4. There were 2 queen size "heavenly" beds, starbucks coffee and plenty of space in the room. A must stay if you are in the Orlando area. Highly recommended!

Great family activiites. My niece loved the bond fire on the beach and cooking smores!

The hotel is very large and nice. We had great time using all the facilities is has to offer. Great restaurants and location.
