Why you should stay at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts at Disney World

[@kenwbrenner]

We've stayed at the Dolphin 13 times, Swan once. It became something we looked forward to on our yearly visit to WDW. We often was given an upgrade to a room with a great view over Crescent Lake to Epcot due to my Marriott member status. To me, three benefits: 1. Deluxe hotel at moderate hotel rates 2. Location 3. Opportunity to earn Marriott points and use points if desired Thank you for this nice look at our "Disney Home".

Thanks for sharing! Glad you approve, I’ve enjoyed my two stays at the dolphin and one at swan

To avoid the confusion of the separate busses, walk 5 minutes over to the Boardwalk or Yacht club and catch the official Disney busses there. Now you can be dropped at the main entrance to Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs.

You can book Swan and Dolphin through Disney Reservations. When booking through Disney, you cant book with Marriott points, add the Disney dine plans, or Disney Resort discounts

Thank you for noting this correction!

What perk do they have for titanium bonvoy members? Is there a lounge? Or do they do free breakfast?

[@travelingtipps]

They do not have a lounge. I'm a titanium member and I got a nice room upgrade and took points as my check-in reward

[@thepekingduk]

you can get points or $20/day credit at the onsite convenience/coffee shop

While in the Dolphin room you said it has 2 queens, is the correct? I've only found doubles with queens in Swan and I'm trying to book now.

[@kenwbrenner]

In my experience, the 2 queens is only in the Dolphin.

Thanks for this video. For the Magic Kingdom bus transportation, can you go to the Yacht club to use the disney bus?

[@travelingtipps]

People do that, or go to the Boardwalk Resort. I don’t think it’s encouraged

[@stephenmocanu408]

Wonderful video & thank you for confirming I made the right choice!

[@travelingtipps]

Of course, enjoy your trip!

[@travelingtipps]

Would you stay at a Disney "Good Neighbor" hotel?

[@karengacke3787]

It looks like you can book these hotels on the disney website when booking a package. Is that not correct? I am planning a trip next year and thought I could book the swan that way.

[@travelingtipps]

In the past, I was redirected to the Marriott website, though it looks like you can do the reservation through Disney's website.

@travelingtipps thank you! Great video and information, too!
