Jan 19, 2026Great place to stay!
An excellent place to stay. The comfort and service delivered exactly what you would expect at this price point. Very convenient walking distance to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We’ll be back.

Jan 18, 2026Absolutely beautiful hotel but...
I had a mostly wonderful stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. The décor throughout the property is stunning, and the rooms are equally impressive: spacious, stylish, and very comfortable. I appreciated having a mini fridge and a Keurig machine in the room, which made the stay feel more convenient and upscale. It's also very close to Epcot, about a 10 minute walk or a slightly longer complimentary water taxi ride. Dining at Amari was a standout experience. The restaurant is not only aesthetically gorgeous, but the food and overall experience were excellent. It felt like a true highlight of the property and something I would recommend even to non-hotel guests. Unfortunately, my experience was significantly impacted by an issue after checkout. I accidentally left my medication in the mini fridge, stored inside a cooler pack. When I contacted the hotel, I was told by security that it was not there. I can’t say for certain whether the next guests took it or if it was discarded by housekeeping, but it was definitely left behind. What was most disappointing was the lack of concern or follow-up from the hotel regarding this matter. Medication is not a trivial item, and the response felt dismissive, as if the situation wasn’t taken seriously. Overall, the Swan Reserve is a beautiful hotel with excellent rooms and dining, but the handling of my lost medication left me with concerns about accountability and guest care. I truly wish this had been addressed with more empathy and urgency, as it overshadowed an otherwise lovely stay.

Convenient and Quiet
Bottom line upfront: Convenient location, newer, smaller hotel that meets basic needs. Transportation: we opted to take the transportation offered by the hotel, while it was a bit pricey, it was very convenient! And both drivers that we had were friendly and accommodating. Check-in: While there was only one person at the actual check-in desk, there was an employee at the concierge. She was so friendly and kind and assisted us with check-in. She offered to place us on a list to view the Epcot fireworks on their top floor during the inhouse party where you can hear what's happening at the park and you have access to snacks. Not sure this perk is offered to everyone so be sure to ask. Room: Pretty standard room. We had a suite and I didn't feel it was anything spectacular. It was your standard hotel room. I believe the cost per night is more to do with the close proximity to the parks than it has to do with the room amenities. The hotel is on the newer side and is smaller than it's sister properties so it does give a more quiet and upscale feel. Gym: Adequate. Park transportation: one day we took the bus to Magic Kingdom and as others have stayed it drops you at the ticket and parking lots but we preferred that so it worked. The boat ride to Epcot was short and made up for the long ride to Magic Kingdom that we experienced. Also the boat goes to the Boardwalk where you can transfer to take buses that will drop you at the entrance of Magic Kingdom. Please note that you can walk to the Boardwalk area. In fact one day we did because the boat had just left and it would have taken us longer to wait than to walk. Pools: we only visited the Dolphin pool because it was large and had a slide. There is a pool within the hotel that is more quiet but it doesn't have the bells and whistles of the Dolphin. Food: we didn't eat at Swan Reserve but did walk to the Boardwalk and Dolphin hotel to have food. There weren't many food options located in the hotel itself.

One of my new favorites at WDW
We stayed here for a quick weekend trip to go to the holiday parties. Check in was great. LeeAnn is a great ambassador for this hotel. She was so pleasant and very informative. We had an Epcot view. The room was spotless. The bedding is great and the room was quiet for sleeping. You do have to pay for parking but then you get free parking at the parks. It's very walkable to Hollywood and Epcot. We just used the coffee shop and the barista was so friendly and nice. Download the app to order ahead! This is truly a 5 star resort that shines on the grounds of WDW!

Beautiful boutique hotel near Epcot
From being greeted by bell services to checkin process the stay was amazing. We enjoyed 1 week in a corner suite with fireworks view. The room was very clean, huge, and was full of everything necessary to enjoy your stay. Comfortable living room area 3 huge TV’s a giant dining room table, charger ports everywhere, fridge, Keurig, separate toilet with shower room with sinks in both. Extra large bedroom with very comfortable bed and temperate controls in every area robes to lounge in. Room service was had on multiple occasions and was delicious and arrived very fast. They have an onsite cafe where you can get cold brew, espresso drinks and chai. They have some ice cream options, candy, and bakery items. We didn’t do the pool, but it looked great. Wish they had an onsite laundry room, but they did have a very fast shuttle service to the other building with laundry which was massive and more food options. I highly recommend this hotel, the staff, the amenities, and convenience are top notch. My son is still talking about the “swan pastina”.
