Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Join me to hang out and explore Disney's Boardwalk and Disney's Swan and Dolphin Resorts on President's Day 2024 - one of the most crowded days of the year at Walt Disney World! There is lots of change, construction projects, places have closed, new places opening, and plenty to explore in the Boardwalk area! I show you how easy it is to stroll between Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin, check out Carousel Coffee and the Boardwalk Deli, and share some interesting facts and details in all 3 resorts, as we enjoy Disney vibes but escape the overwhelming crowds in the theme parks this weekend! Hope you enjoy these resort tours, where I explore the unique theming, stories, and details of WDW's special resort hotels, restaurants and shops!
Check out my holiday tour of Boardwalk, Yacht Club & Beach Club Resorts: ua-cam.com/video/gJ_0i6RTdwU/v-deo.html
Hello Jackie staying in our Disney Boardwalk Yacht club and beach club resort this year check it out someday one of my favorites Acade games 🎯🎮🎮 lots of people and a big swimming pool comes with waterslide had some Disney fun day this is Jenna Dabao
Jackie you truly are one of the best vloggers out there who are covering WDW at this time. You got the IT factor. You're special and you bring great warmth, intelligence and female energy to your work. I love all the guys out there too, but you can tell the difference. Keep doing what you are doing.
Jackie, my wife and I are taking a cruise on the Fantasy A Very Merry Christmas! We are staying at the Dolphin after the cruise for 2 days. I viewed your video to help us decide. I am using Marriott points. I didn’t realize the hotels were on Disney property. As always very informative and a joy to watch. Will you be doing an update on Disney Springs soon? I realize you are fully immersed in Halloween season now. Keep up the Vlogs. 😂❤
My husband and I got married at the Swan last year and had an amazing experience. We even got a pic with that stormtrooper photo op in our wedding outfits! I enjoyed this walkthrough, it brought back some happy memories!❤
Honestly I think the Swan and Dolphin look very cool. They're different, unusual, and prompt an emotional response... modern stuff just doesn't do that.
It also depends if you find it nostalgic because they are something you remember from your childhood.
Fantastic comment and take.
Though we've only been once, the Swan and Dolphin's Food & Wine Classic held on the Michael Graves causeway is a wonderful (but pricey) event during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Love the Boardwalk area but I do miss the ESPN restaurant.
I think the Swan and Dolphin are great! They do remind me of Disney in the 90s when our family first visited Disney World.
That’s what I love about it, the 90s look and design.
I have never stayed at the Swan and Dolphin , they are on my bucket list. The hotels look super nice and have different theming than the regular Disney resorts. Don’t get me wrong. I love staying at the Disney resorts. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else, but I would be open to try the other hotels on Disney property. I really wish that coffee bought in the boardwalk was bigger. I love to go look at cafés and try different drinks I would normally not buy. I have never been to any of those dancing clubs on the boardwalk. I feel too old 😂 maybe in my younger days I would have. Honestly, I would just have a great day if I could just ride the Skyliner back-and-forth. It’s something that I have to do every time I go.
Kendrick sockey missippiss you Tube Disney world ❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉😢😮😅😊
20:40 - damn, that makes me feel like I missed some free shows on the lawn. Maybe Universal doesn't have those signs up yet
😂 apparently the cheer groups like to do their thing and Disney had to put this up!
Grew up staying at the Dolphin every summer. My husband and I were married at Sea Breeze Point at the Boardwalk. Perfect video! Thank you! 💛
What beautiful memories those must be!
Good morning Jackie! 😃 Ha, that is exactly what the dance hall feels like! 😂
I love this resort loop soooo much, thanks for sharing!
Some of our favorite Disney days have been spent just casually perusing the resorts! Fully support a chill holiday spent _away_ from the parks. Garden Grove looks so pretty, and so well-themed! We've always found the Swan to be such an intimidating structure, looming over the skyline like that. It looks like a really nice resort, though, and very affordable for a property that is _technically_ a Disney hotel. Such beautiful landscaping and water feature placement...definitely interesting and eye-catching, as you said. And lunch on the boardwalk looked pretty great too! I have to say, though, that the flower children chairs at the Boardwalk Inn are *_way_* scarier than 9/10 haunts we visit 😂 Thanks for taking us on your holiday stroll, Jackie! Great vlog.
Please note the pools are in no way heated to a level of a WDW hotel. And the pool area is subject to drunk rowdies attending conventions.
Enjoyed your video! Would love a link to get your sweatshirt.
Stayed at The Boardwalk last April and it was amazing!!!! One of our favorites ❤❤
Love the walk to the S&D from the Boardwalk(add that to the list), the design of the S&D is a masterpiece for Disney and we are always pointing to it while driving by. You’re so much fun to watch while doing your tours…Thanks
Thank you for sharing this enjoyed it we go to the Boardwalk it was nice to see the Swan and Dolphin
That’s so weird 🤔 What’s special about President Day that people are like “Disney time!”?
Any holiday prompts more guests at the parks. It's usually from locals who might have the day off, especially if its a three day weekend.
@SuperEnthused this video is amazing. My daughter is getting married in Nov at the reserve and guests are staying at the Dolphin. So this is great to share with family and friends!!
How beautiful that will be!!
That boardwalk kiosk building that they were doing construction on is going to be Blue Ribbon Corndogs like they have at Disneyland
Ahhh that’s right! cool! So many changes coming to boardwalk. It’s a good thing.
Beautiful video! God bless you! ❤
I've never been to this part nice vlog 👌
The Swan Boats are FREE to guests.
Really enjoyed this video 🩷
We stayed at the Dolphin for the first time a few years ago and we were very happy with it. All the perks of a Disney resort but it's the price of a moderate but super close to SO much and walkable. Also, there IS a restaurant open all day in the basement of the Dolphin that's sort of like a cafeteria. We didn't eat there when we were there, but we visited it and it was odd because no one else was there and there was only 1 worker and it is hidden way at the end of a long hallway behind some elevators. It's such an weird place. It's called Picabu.
I went back there and it was closed, so weird and empty back there. Maybe I was there in the tiny space between breakfast and when they reopen for lunch. The swan and dolphin are interesting and if you can get a good deal it’s such an awesome location!
It’s really good
Especially breakfast
The hubs and I love the Swan & Dolphin resorts.
Great video Jackie!! Glad you had a great time!! I love Boardwalk Resort!! It’s so pretty inside!! I love your Mickey Mouse sweatshirt. It’s so adorable!! Omg the grilled cheese looks so yummy!! I love grilled cheeses!! It’s perfect when you dip it in ketchup!! 😃😃😂😂😊😊
Ah! We were just there! Literally. We were actually staying at the Swan during the Presidents Day week. That day we slept in and walked to Epcot for the day. So close to finally running into you, and yet... Oh well. How funny.
Oh my gosh! We left the hotel when Happy was playing! I was dancing with excitement and clapping with a little kid. We walked by the wedding! You were sooooooooo close!
We used to park at Boardwalk when going to Epcot...for over 20 years really. I love the place but I am NOT happy about ESPN being replaced. We've watched so many ballgames there and the only alternative was River grill and now that's gone. Still..a great place to just walk around and really pretty at night. I thought Lowes ran the Swan/Dolphin. I believe they run Universals resorts. At least the new ones at Epic. One can walk to studios from either place as well so great location
We loved staying at the Dolphin but the prices have gone up so much each year. We would always get a great rate to stay but haven’t in years. But then again if looking at Pop in April is over $270 I’m afraid to see what Swan or Dolphin would be lol. Hopefully one day we can go back to our “home hotel”.
I grew up on the Boardwalks of the Jersey Shore, Miss them SO much living in Florida! Always love the Boardwalk Resort😎I was surprised they let you park there, they stopped that for a while, only guests or with a dining res.
I did this same exploration on my last trip! The Fridays of a Disney trip always end up being a day to resort hop for me. I had breakfast at Topolinos, wandered the hotel, and took the Skyliner over to Epcot to do that whole resort loop. It was such a luxuriating and relaxing day. I also had my first beaches and cream shake and learned they make boozy ones 😂
Hi, we will be staying at the Swan and wondered about getting the bus to magic kingdom from Broadwalk. Would anyone know roughly how long it takes from Swan to Broadwalk please? 😊
Hey Jackie, great to see blue sky’s. Enjoyed the video! Stay awesome 😎
It's ironic that WDW, a place for children of all ages, is one of the few places where my advanced age is a benefit. This is my 50th year of going to WDW. More importantly I got to experience Pleasure island in its and my prime.
Thank You Jackie for this funnn, warm hearted engaging vlog! So much thoughtful insights..... very much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing. In 1996 family stayed at yacht club resorts. L.oved them never got to
Another great video my friend oh I'm still watching this lol.
I haven’t heard that place before but man Disney has some boardwalk hotels. I’m might try to stay here sometime.
If you're ever at the dolphin around 5 o'clock, sometimes you'll see bald Eagle sitting on top of the dolphin heads. We've seen them twice when we were there check it out.
Try our New things out this year i am the owner of my restaurant this month i am thr employee of the week just got a new job this weekend to spend time with them in disney all way to the holidays they are her Members and family to the whole family she part of our family this is our grand daughter she lives hrere today this is Jenna Dabao try to make her happy ☺️🙂 this is her birthday 🎈🎂🥳 in disney resort she is a Member working with us have and had some Disney fun day weather super excited and more
You're a videos want my husband I want to live there more and more. I wish we could move there today. But we have to save our money so we can buy a home. We're hoping in a year. So then we'll see you in our other vloggers. That we watch in the parks can't wait..
The resorts are my favorite part of WDW!
What fancy cheerleading squad is staying at the Swan and Dolphin?
Cheer competitions take place at WDW in February each year. Thousands of cheerleaders from around the country are unleashed on the parks at that time.
@@momokoblue8032 yes, I know. And I feel like they wouldn't wander into Swan and Dolphin unless they were staying there.
Great way to start the day! We look forward to visiting WDW again in September/October timeframe. 😊
❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the great video to show off those great resorts at the boardwalk. You show and tell about them so well I appreciate the History, fun facts,& details.❤
I just got to watch this video and I do have to take exception to one thing. The tomato soup is the worst thing ever served at Disney. I tried it three times on three different days and it was horrible every time!!!
I'm sorry on top of the swans, not the dolphin. My mistake when I saw the dolphin. I mean when I saw the swans. That's what I meant not the dolphins right on top of their heads. We saw the bald eagles. It was really cool to they must have a nest somewhere close by.
To my knowledge The swan and dolphin were never a Disney resort. The lore is the sculptures are on the wrong buildings.
"Oh, look a ❤" Love your way of looking at the world and showing us all the details! Great video! So enjoyable!❤
Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised is Disney did a resort pass upsell next, to make the resorts feel more exclusive or top level annual pass only.
Which is coser..... DL and DCA or the Swan and Dolphin?
Boardwalk is my favourite ressort. Ending the evening at Bellevue Lounge
I love the coloring of the Dolphin and Swan resort and can tell that they each have their own cool vibes. The boardwalk deli looked wonderful with good looking food.
Love the Swan and Dolphin resorts. I remember being down there when they were building the Dolphin!
Yes that sign if for the cheerleading competition. Take it from a cheer coach cheerleaders will take any opportunity or grassy place to practice
Didn’t think this weekend would be as busy as it was (we went Friday) - noted for our next trip 😂
In November we ate at the new Mexican restaurant at the dolphin. I believe it was really good have you eaten there?
please dont waste our time reading Michael Graves plaque....You barely showed the pool at the Dolphin and NO gym...
I can’t show the pool or gym when I’m not actually staying at the resort bro. You can only use the pool and other amenities when you’re a guest staying there. I have lots of other resort tours when I’m staying somewhere and I always show the pool.
The first time I went to Disney World was in the 80s. They were building that then. I think it looks awesome!
I love the look of the statues on the hotel it’s so cool, I’ll never stay there though astronomical prices!!!
I went to a tech conference at the Dolphin in 2019. It was nice!
Oooh this video has me so excited! I'm going to be there in a couple weeks 🎉
We were at the parks on Monday and it was the most crowded I've ever seen! However Sunday when it rained all day, Magic Kingdom was empty! So, we made the best of it all! Thank you for the video, Jackie!
Ah the rain must have chased the crowds away temporarily! This week has just not let us with the crowds wow!
The outside of Swan and Dolphin always reminds me of the Disneyland Paris hotels, which I guess makes sense given they're from the same era
Yea I can totally see that!
How does one get from the skyliner at Epcot to the monorail to go to Polynesian resort?
Oh, and AMAZING vid as ALWAYS Jackie!
You just hop on the monorail in front of EPCOT, go to the TTC, and either walk to the poly - which I show you how to do in this video:
Trying NEW Disney Snacks at Polynesian & Magic Kingdom:
ua-cam.com/video/6GqYOuzuLdE/v-deo.html
Or switch to the resort monorail loop. Easy peasy!
And thank you!! 💕💕💕
@@SuperEnthused oh THANK YOU!!!! Your monorail video is what inspired me to go to the Polynesian and Grand Floridian on our arrival day! Seeing the skyliner at the beginning of this video made me wonder how we were going to get there from Riviera Resort.
Il Mulino is the Best Italian restaurant at WDW.
It’s a HEART! ❤️ my question answered! Thanks, Jackie! ❤😊
Hahaha just a silly little thing but it makes me happy 😄
Swab and dolphin looks beautiful!!
Yippee! I was just planning a visit to Swan🎉
the piano in the Swan lobby is gone
Awesome vlog Jackie!
The new Marriot is way better. But I love my Dolphin balcony. And that I used to get rooms there for less than $200 per night.
I miss the good prices! Now it seems harder to find a deal at swan or dolphin.
@@SuperEnthused Right?! We got a good deal when we went in January. But deals for the rest of the year are looking few and far between😳
Love when you do resorts tours
Love the swan & dolphin. Hubby used to work at Juan and Only's decades ago. Thanks for showing the beautiful Disney beyond the parks especially when it's so crowded. 🎉

❤❤❤
Glad you stopped to get the pebble out of your shoe! 👟 😊😂
😂 gotta have a silly moment for something silly 😂
Good morning Jackie; I find a lot of the restaurants at Swan and Dolphin are really good. Thanks again for the resort walk abouts!!! LOVE THEM!
The little kiosk is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Put in a real sports bar.
Hey... Great video. Can anyone tell me which resort, besides wilderness cabins, can accommodate larger families? Thanks!
You might want to look into Old Key West as the rooms are larger than most on property. It's a DVC resort but you can stay there even if you aren't or you can rent points from a dvc member.
I've stopped taking Vitamin D supplements because watching one of your videos gives me far more than the FDA recommended daily amount of Sunshine needed to stay healthy.
😂😂😂
Fantasia Mini Golf is right next door.
😮 Thanks for showing the Boardwalk area and The Swan and Dolphin. We plan to stay at the Dolphin on our next trip in 2025 or 2026, still waiting for money to be enough 😂 after Covid job changed and not as much as i made before😢 Anyway, the Swan and Dolphin are a beautiful resorts and cheaper than some other resorts at Disney World, so we hope to have a 2 week stay in near future😊 Love relaxing and informative vlogs from you. Thank you so much for everything you show us. Be Safe Take Care 😊❤ oh and Hi to Sam to😊
I love when Jackie goes and shows us around disneyworld like not judt the parks but the whole Orlando area and disney related bc this is home so why not show off what great here ❤
Love the video
Thank you for sharing. We stayed at the Rivera and one night coming from Epcot the Skyliner was closed due to lighting (I know Florida go figure :)) and we had to walk to the Boardwalk to catch a bus back. There seemed to be a lot of outside stairs at the Boardwalk. Our knees are not what they were 20 years ago so we were challenged to say the least. I am trying to put together a trip via Brightline from WPB to Orlando Airport to Disney Springs. Shop and eat and then jump on a bus to a resort. And then Uber from the resort to Orlando Airport and take Brightline home to WPB. So far the dollars do not make sense. I know you have family in Miami, maybe give it a try from Miami and give us some tips? Just an idea, thx
Love seeing you show the resorts so much! I pretend I’m there with ya! Enjoy your day! 🩷
Hi Jackie, thank you so much for this video and the information, now I know I could just go to boardwalk without staying at the hotel inside Disney.
I love all your videos.
Insightful and incisive monolog....thank you
I got to visit Disney boardwalk for the first time ever on Valentine's day!!! 💕
I love the swan and dolphin resort!!! Yes it’s a busy holiday weekend
I like like to call Swan and Dolphin, Goose & Fish. Just my silly side.
I think the Line for the Pizza could possibly have something to do with national pizza day video from another vlogger.
Grilled cheese looked amazing
I think national pizza day was like a week or two ago (Feb 9). I doubt most families on vacation would care about that either 😂 It was just a crowded day on a crowded weekend! But thankfully the deli line wasn’t too bad, but it did take forever to get the sandwich.
Just What the Enthused Doctor Ordered! ^^
Your lunch looked amazing!
🧀 it was dang good!!
The only Disney videos I still watch are yours. Thank you Jackie. Love you ❤
Great informative vlog as always.
Great video Jackie!
