When it comes to hotels, Disney World offers something for everyone — and there are SO many great hotels to choose from at a variety of price points. And then you’ve got even more hotels on Disney World property that aren’t owned by Disney, like the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.
One of the newest hotels to arrive at Disney World is the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. This hotel is located next to the Swan and Dolphin, putting it super close to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Reservations initially opened up for the hotel in February, with an opening date of July 2021.
That opening date was then delayed to September 1st and then delayed again to late September. But now, the opening date has been delayed once more, this time until October. We noticed this when we checked the hotel’s website — the opening date had been changed to reflect this.
The hotel is set to have 300 guest rooms, a signature restaurant and bar, a pool and health club, and more. Each room will have floor-to-ceiling windows that will offer a great view of the area. We assume that guests who had reservations for the hotel before October will receive some kind of communication from Marriott about alternative arrangements.
In the meantime, if anything changes, we’ll let you know.
