The wine program features more than 1,400 selections, including organic and rare vintages, plus tastes from Greece, Turkey, Israel and South Africa. The resort’s extensive beverage program employs more than 70 sommeliers and rivals those in fine dining venues globally. Now, guests will no longer utilize the Disney Bus pick-up and drop-off locations, instead they’ll. Disney Transportation allowed the buses to use the bus stops closest to the theme park entrances. Every palate can be satisfied whether served in richly appointed settings or outdoor and casual poolside. The Swan and Dolphin officially stopped using Disney buses for transportation to the parks and instead switched to third-party Mears Motor Coaches. “The premier website for first time visitors to Walt Disney World!” -Steve Bell, webmaster, MilitaryDisneyTips.Celebrity dining venues, awarding-winning chefs, extensive wine lists, unique cocktails, eye-catching restaurant designs and unmatched service are just a few of the elements that make the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin a recognized leader in the resort dining experience.įeaturing 22 restaurants and lounges, the resort offers something for everyone, from the most passionate foodie, to those seeking a quick, yet satisfying meal."

Here you’ll also find a substantial pool bar and grille, the Cabana Bar and Beach Club. Near it there’s a splash pool for little ones.įinally, there’s another lap-style pool close to the Dolphin. There’s several hot tubs near the Grotto pool–images of two of them are below:Īt the Dolphin side of the Grotto pool is a small gift and pool toy shop, where you’ll also find the pool towels.īeyond the Grotto pool is the semi-circular Spring pool. …the middle, with a “grotto” and waterfall… This serves as the main family pool, and bridges divide it into three visually distinct areas. In the evening you can make s’mores here. It includes a playground (note at the right edge the hammocks)… Next begins a beach that stretches all the way to the Dolphin. The lap pool nearest the Swan has no particular kid appeal, but is a fine spot for adults to sunbathe.Īt one side is the Swan gym, which is also where you will find towels. Starting with the pool closest to the Swan, and working our way around… There’s five pools here and a beach with an extensive play area. On the map below, they are not all labeled, but are at center right, connecting the two resorts in a curve around a small lake. Moreover, the sweep of pool after pool after pool after beach after pool is quite compelling–making this overall the third best pool complex at Walt Disney World ( Four Seasons is first, then the pools shared by the Yacht Club and Beach Club). While no single pool in this collection is stellar, as a suite they offer pretty much anything any guest would want of a pool.

The sister resorts Swan and Dolphin share all amenities, including a band of pools that sweep along a beach and connect the two resorts. REVIEW: THE POOLS AT THE DISNEY WORLD SWAN AND DOLPHIN For the first page of this review of the Disney World Swan and Dolphin, see this.
