What you need to know
The Swan and Dolphin Hotels operate their own shuttle buses. These buses are not allowed to use the main Disney World bus depots, they pick up and let off passengers in the third-party lots. While this isn’t a big deal, there will be some additional walking compared to using Disney-owned buses.
The Swan and Dolphin are convention hotels, so while you might be on vacation, other hotel guests might be in business attire.
If you have a vehicle, the Swan and Dolphin charges a hefty parking fee of $36 per night, compared to Disney World hotels which are free.
Disney Dining Plans cannot be added to Swan and Dolphin packages.
