We have personally stayed at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel and it is one of our favorite hotels at Walt Disney World. In our Walt Disney World Swan Swan and Dolphin Hotel review, we discuss all the different perks of this hotel but the most notable one is the easy access to both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Since Walt Disney World transportation can eat up a good portion of your day, being nearby two of the most popular theme parks is a great perk.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotel also offers its own complimentary bus transportation to and from all the theme parks and Early Entry in the parks. The hotel is considered a “Deluxe” Walt Disney World resort hotel so guests have access to those perks like Extended Evening Park Hours on select nights. The Extended Evening Park Hours are only available for the highest end resorts on Walt Disney World property. If you compare the cost of the The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotel to other Walt Disney World deluxe properties, you’ll notice it’s much more affordable!

This is a well-earned award, congratulations to the entire staff at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel!
