Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Overview
Opened in late 2021, the Swan Reserve is the newest addition to the Swan and Dolphin Resort complex. This sleek, glass-fronted hotel offers a more tranquil, upscale atmosphere compared to the larger Swan and Dolphin properties. While it’s slightly set back from Crescent Lake, it’s still within easy walking distance to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios and shares all amenities with its sister resorts.
What makes Swan Reserve stand out is its intimate feel and upgraded room types, many of which are designed for families or business travelers looking for more space. Guests also enjoy access to a rooftop terrace with stunning fireworks views and exclusive dining options like Amare.
Like the Swan and Dolphin, this Marriott Autograph Collection hotel participates in Early Theme Park Entry and offers excellent dining, pool access, and Marriott Bonvoy benefits.
