We stayed at the Marriott-owned Swan and Dolphin Resort at Disney World last week. Check out our report to see if it sounds right for you.
I get it: sometimes you want to stay at Disney World without feeling like you’re trapped at Disney World. The Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels are the perfect places to stay if you want the convenience of staying on resort without being surrounded by Disney décor at the end of the night. The two conjoined hotels, which are owned and operated by Marriott, are stylish and luxurious resorts that put you in the heart of Disney World but feel like they could be in almost any city.
That’s not to say there’s no Disney presence at all here. There’s a Disney gift shop, of course, and a Disney concierge desk to help you plan your theme park adventures. There’s also character dining in the charmingly designed Garden Grove restaurant; famous friends like Goofy, Pluto, and Chip ‘n Dale can stop by your table and pose for a few pictures while you’re noshing down on spaghetti or the seafood buffet.
You’ll also find amenities that appeal to all ages. Adults looking to be pampered can book a trip to the Mandara Spa, which might be the most tranquil and relaxing spa I’ve ever visited . And they can book their kids a stay at Camp Dolphin, an activity-filled zone to keep the little ones busy . You’ll find a gym, an arcade, basketball and volleyball courts, and easy access to the Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf course.
