Frog Family Tips
- Once you’ve booked your stay, don’t froget to download the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin App for the latest news on activity schedules, openings, and hours of operation.
- Ask for a high-floor room with a view of the Disney parks!
- Request a room with a balcony to best enjoy the fireworks displays
- Grab a bite to eat at Fountain or Cabana Bar and Beach Club for a casual lunch or dinner–both restaurants serve traditional American cuisine
- Consider upgrading to valet services to avoid taking a longer walk from the parking area to the hotel
- Ask for a room closer to the elevators to avoid a long walk down hallways
- Take advantage of the free access to the adjacent Walt Disney World Swan Hotel and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Hotel’s amenities and restaurants–guests have free access.
- Tadpoles will love paddling around in the swan paddleboats, an included perk with the daily resort fee.
Best For
- Families, couples and adults — especially those who prefer Marriott Hotels — who want to be on Disney's Boardwalk entertainment area with walking distance to EPCOT® and Disney's Hollywood Studios®.
