    I love that if you choose to decline housekeeping service for a day you get a voucher for $5 off food or 500 SPG points and you are helping the environment by conserving.

    Be sure to take the short walk between the Swan and Dolphin. It's beautifully lit at night and has a great view of the fireworks at Hollywood Studios.

    Great hotel and everything but I left a box of chocolates (closed) to snack on throughout the week and by the fourth night there were ants in it! In December! On the 12th floor! That was scary.

    The Swan is the best bang for your buck at Disney. It's walking distance to two parks, gorgeous, all whole being half the price of the other disney owned deluxe resorts.

    The Swan and Dolphin Hotels are where the staff and families stay while on the Kidd's Kids trip! They treat us GREAT. Beautiful views, great rooms and close to all the action!

    If u're an architect, this building is a must see. It's iconic & colorful. If you stay, pick room with pool & lake view. It worths.

    It’s a short walk to Epcot. Great restaurants. The buses and boat are outside the front and back of the hotel. Standard rooms are small but nice views.

    Much better than it's sister hotel the Dolphin, but doesn't reflect the quality I have come to expect from a Westin property. Beds are definitely not Westin Heavenly beds, feels more like a Sheraton.

    If you're expecting the inspired interior design this property launched with, you're going to be disappointed. The once highly customized furnishings & finishes have made way for more generic tastes.

    It's a Starwood property. SPG members, this is your ticket to a Walt Disney World vacation on Starwood points!

    Place was awesome, def try to get a room with a balcony so you can enjoy a drink on it and soak in Orlando.

    Fantasia Gardens is right next door, one of the mostly well done mini-golf places I've been to. Be sure to play both courses

    The Swan is smaller, calmer, and more family-friendly than its sister, the Dolphin.

    Like most places around this area, food and beverages are over-priced. Bring your own snacks and drinks, if you can.

    Very nice & extremely over priced. $200+ for the room add a $25 resort fee, which gets you nothing, and $18 for parking just to insult you.

    SPG Platinum members get the resort fee waived. Make sure you are not charged if this applies to you! :-)
