  • In this video, we will compare the Disney World Dolphin vs Swan and Swan reserve hotels at Disney World to help you decide which resort is best for your family on your next Disney trip. We did a Disney Swan and Dolphin resort video early on however we wanted to recreate this video to now include the Swan Reserve. What we have found is most guests will still want to take a look at the Walt Disney World swan and dolphin resort when looking for the cheapest options, however the Disney World Swan reserve may be best for amenities. Which is why we created this complete guide to the Disney Swan vs Dolphin hotels at Disney world!
    If you are visiting Disney World in 2024, this is the video for you! Check the guide and let us know of any reasons why you are interested in the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Swan, or Swan Reserve!

    Hi Park Prodigy, great video! In terms of long-term value, what are your thoughts on stays at these Marriot resorts utilizing Bonvoy benefits versus purchasing a DVC contract? I just got my Marriot CC because it seems like better value than the Disney CC that I've been using for the last year. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

      So I do own a DVC contract but many of my friends have told me that it doesn't make much sense financially compared to other investments. With that being said I'm a huge Disney fan so I didn't buy it as an investment and I trust my friends that they are most likely right. I also have the Marriott CC and I use both to visit so I think you will really enjoy it!

    My wife and I have stayed at each of these resorts multiple times. They are by far the best bargains "on property". Now that our kids are grown, the Swan Reserve is our favorite. New, clean, adult dining options, etc.
    Re pricing - the Dolphin has such erratic swings b/c it is a conference hotel.

    Thank you for this video! I would like to request a video (unless you already have a video up please share 😊). Could you please do a video on detailed best way on how to get to all the parks from Swan/Dolphin Hotels via car or walk or complimentary Disney transportations? (Note: we are driving so we will have a car as an option to potentially drive to/from the parks)

      We stay here when we visit WDW and we always walk over to one of the Disney Resorts (Yacht or Beach Club) and catch one of their busses to get to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. We walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. You can also take the boats, they pick up right in front of the hotel. It's super easy.

      @@dickersonci thank you! Its our first time and pretty overwhelmed with how massive Disney World is. We usually go to Disneyland often and it’s just a 1 min walk to each park lol.
      We plan on doing the early entry, would it be best to take the complimentary bus transportation or drive to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom?

    We're going to Disney in two years and were originally planning on staying at the Pop Century. After doing some research, I think we're gonna stay at the Dolphin. Might be cheaper, but with deluxe resort perks. The only drawback is the resort fee per day.

      Yea I just got done staying there 3 weeks ago, I’ve stayed at all the deluxe resorts and I believe the swan and dolphin give great perks for price. I think it’s where I’ll be staying from now on at Disney world. Definitely should not be slept on. They even offered to add an additional room when we got there for $99 a night.

      The swan and dolphin are literally 2 the best hotels in Disney, they let you feel like you went away on vacation and you can walk on the boardwalk at night the pool amenities etc are top tier! I’ve stayed at literally every top hotel at Disney/universal area and nothing compares to feeling like an actual “getaway”
