"My son calls it his other house."

We stayed here when our son had his 3rd birthday. After a year, he still remembers all the fun, and sometimes asks when will he be able to go back. LOL :) I personally love the comfortable beds and pillows. Helps you rest after a day's long Disney walk. I wish I had that heavenly bed at home...

"WDW Swan and Dolphin"

This resort is my favorite in Orlando!! It is within walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It is also next to Disney's Boardwalk Hotel. The rooms are nice. The restaurants are wonderful. The steaks at Shula's are great. We also like Il Mulinos although it is overpriced. The Fountain is great for burgers and ice cream sundaes. We loved to walk to the boardwalk at night and enjoy the street performers and carnival games. You have transportation to all the Disney Parks and Downtown Disney. The pool is beautiful with a great waterslide and poolside activities for the kids. There is so much to do here!!!

"More for Business than Teens and Tweens"

The Swan and Dolphin are the only hotels inside the Disney World resort that are not actually operated by Disney.  They tend to cater to a business convention crowd and there is less Disney type decorations and pixie dust than at the other hotels.  The restaurants tend to be higher end and the hotel has a more formal feel.  Very good quality but sort of stuffy for our crowd.

"Swan and Dolphin"

Very nice hotel for the price.  Does not have that Disney feel, but overall it's a great place to stay.  The location is perfect for Epcot and Hollywood Studios.  Within walking distance of both or use Disney's water taxi.  Play areas, pool, sandy beach and jogging trails are among the outdoor activities.

"Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotel"

Stayed at this hotel during a business conference where my family joined me.  This hotel is very large and I remember doing a lot of walking to get to the lobby.  All transportation to disney activites is by the disney bus system.  They have a nice pool and beach area for the kids to play.  It is a very nice hotel, but not my favorite on the disney property.

"Nice Hotel"

This hotel is a very nice with 5 pools and lots of restaurants and eateries to choose from.  On weekends the Garden Grove Restaurant (Swan hotel) has character breakfasts - Pluto and Goofy visited us on our last breakfast at the hotel.  The hotel is a short boat ride from Disney Boardwalk, Epcot and Hollywood Studios.  The staff is very responsive and helpful.  You don't need to bring a car - the hotel has free shuttle service to all the other WDW parks, water parks and Downtown Disney as well.
