The hotel

Recently opened in November 2021, the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is an all-new, modern, boutique property within the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin complex. With one and two bedroom suites, there's oodles of room for groups and families, and floor-to-ceiling windows to grab the best views of the surrounding theme park land. You'll have your own restaurant, bar, swimming pool and health club, and what's more, you can take a short stroll over to the Swan and Dolphin hotels and use all the facilities on offer there too. And being just a quick walk or water taxi to Walt Disney World Resort itself, you can be on those adrenaline-fuelled rides before you know it.

Stopped in before going to play putt-putt; the bartender Jake was fantastic! Ordered an old fashioned from the pretty great brown stuff menu and it was phenom. Aside from the drink, despite the bar being slow (and seemingly a lot of people working the bar), Jake was engaging and entertaining. Disney areas can get a little ... stuffy, or campy at times and I find that the best employees around these kinds of things are the ones with great personalities that are a refreshing breath of fresh air. Didn't really have plans to stop back in, but now for the rest of our trip if we decide to grab a few drinks we know where we'll head. Thanks so much for the witty conversation and recommendations!

I have stayed all over Disney property and stayed at both the Dolphin and Swan properties. This place is terrific and has a lot of lovely suites. I am staying on a points redemption in a one bedroom for Disney Bday trip for the kids and am really pleased. Staff has been terrific - from bartender (Jake) to housekeeping getting us everything we need. Quality of service seems a step above most of the Disney hotels. Terrific location and at our request (it was several requests) we got an amazing high view of the Epcot fireworks — actually on 11 we saw Magic Kingdom last night too! I don’t usually write reviews (and I write a lot now) during the stay but this is a terrific Disney option. It’s not “themed” per se but brand new and lovely and near it all (esp Epcot and Studios) is a pretty damn god theme - also nice enough to have a drink after the parks and away from the insanity. Friends got a room nearby as a surprise for bday and the wives went out to have drinks alone and were thrilled. I gave it RARE five stars bc it’s a terrific option at Disney. Highly recommend.

What a great property! World renowned Marriott attention to detail and service coupled with Disney magic! A very elegant and modern hotel on WDW property, but feels like you’re nestled in a secluded area. We stayed in the Epcot view rooms and with their floor to ceiling windows you can view several parks night displays! If you have tickets for the day of checkin, no problem to park there. Did i mention while getting your Marriott perks you also get WDW perks like early admission to the parks!!! Cannot wait to stay there again soon! Read less

This hotel is beautiful, clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Additionally, it is walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood. Our room had an incredible view of Epcot ‘s Spaceship Earth and the Tower of Terror. The bed was super comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel with close proximity to Epcot and Disney Hollywood. Rooms with resort view are amazing for watching the fireworks at night. Pool and pool restaurant provide great breaks and recreation from park visits. Sean and Dolphin are linked and walking distance.
