Yes! A Swan video! Finally!! I feel it often gets overlooked as far as the on property hotels go, even though it has a fantastic location. I have great memories from two stays there. Even learnt how to drive in the Swan’s parking lot 😀🦢
Swan/Dolphin are my go to at WDW. Sometimes, I can find rates less than a Disney moderate, you just have to make sure you factor in the "resort fee" and the parking fee when comparing. I actually like that it's not Disney themed, I get enough of that in the parks. Back in the before times, you could get your packages shipped back to them like you could WDW resorts. I just stay in whichever one is less.
When I can't rent DVC points I stay at the Swan for the deluxe benefits. It well worth. It allows my family to leave in the middle of the day and stack lightning lanes.
Stayed here earlier this year. Everything we saw was either amazing or trash. Beautiful lobby, then a broken light in the elevator with exposed wires. Great dining but then a bit of a mildew smell in one area. Your video is right on though. Best hotel for the money considering the price is lower than most moderate resorts at disney.
Swan and Dolphin are the best!!! Anyone going to Disney I recommend them. Great location and deluxe hotel at moderate prices. Only reason I wouldn't stay here if traveling with little kids that want 24/7 Disney.
I'm Handicapped and have to use a Wheelchair. My family and I stayed at the Dolphin Hotel and let me tell you, we had problems starting at the Front Desk to when we got to our rooms.
Just stayed at the Swan on our trip in June for the Flower and garden festival. We enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to Epcot. Rooms are nice, they are a bit dated and they need more device charging outlets. Not nearly enough. We will be back with a portable power strip. 😮😊
I was just getting really sad that there might not be anymore Quincy resort tours because she’s done them all. Yes, we will watch them all again! Lol. And hey, we need a Quincy Star Cruiser review. Quincy-specific.
Just cancelled stay at All Star Sports to stay at Swan.....MUCH better hotel and I SAVED about a dollar a night. (Nope not a huge difference in price, but that means I spent about a DELUXE hotel price for a motel!) All Stars are NOT worth that price. If you have to pay about $200/night for an All Star room, go off site. The amount you will spend on Lyft or Uber is still less than the difference in prices of hotels.
I'll NEVER stay here again. As DVC members and frequent Disney visitors, my wife and I often visit Disney World even when our limited DVC points run out. We usually stay at value resorts during this time, as we've been happy with them just like we're happy with the Deluxe Villas from DVC. Since the Swan showed very competitive rates, we bit for a five night stay last year. What we were unaware of is that Dolphn and Swan are no longer on the transportation system, so Magic Kindom is an ordeal to get to with their Mears buses. We were also surprised by huge resort fees and a substantial parking fee that made the price much higher than we expected. Decent enough room, but no Disney feel and crazy high price for something that I don't consider deluxe.
It's a weird tradeoff. Magic Kingdom is hell to get to, Animal Kingdom is almost impossible, but Hollywood and Epcot are in walking distance or a cute boat ride away. Can make sense for some trips.
I would like to stay at this hotel or the neighboring one. I’m not someone that needs all the Disney theming and this seems walkable distance to one of my favorite parks which is Epcot. It looks like a beautiful hotel!
at around 43 min, not sure if it is a focus lock issue or what, but the camera never quite foused on anything it was pointed at. :( Makes for a little bit of a nauseating watch. But I do love Quincy's resort tours, so I am sticking with it. :D So much information!
No! In my experience, you can book 60 days out. However it is not for the length of your stay. I had a 6 day trip earlier this year and I stayed at the Swan. I had to wake up early for 6 days to book my dining. It wasn't fun!
what is the point of making a mandatory fee for something, why don't they just add the price into the overall stay price and just say that when you book a room it comes with it, or make it where if you don't want to buy it you don't have to (when i looked it up, it said that it is now $40 and you have to pay it nightly, and said that all it comes with is basically just internet, fitness classes, spa?, and allowing you to do boat rentals... it may come with more idk I've never been to that one but it doesn't say anything else on their website )
@@marshamason3295 Disney owns the land. It was leased for 99 years to the developers. The developers built and own the hotels. Marriott (inherited from Starwood) was contracted to operate the hotels. I guess similar to Disney Springs Resort Area? And I'm done researching - it's too complicated. And unimportant - Marriott points work, and you're in Disney. (Now look at the Bonnett Creek resorts (Hilton brands) on private property in a nature preserve surrounded by Disney.)
Do you have extended evening benefits on check out day as well? Always wondered that. Like if the evening hours were only offered on your check out day are you still eligible?
