I’m pretty much the definition of a “Disney adult.” I love the Disney parks, and I’ve been going to Walt Disney World in Florida since I was a kid.
I’ve stayed at the Swan Reserve a few times since it opened in late 2021, and it’s quickly becoming my new “go to” resort. And I’m going to go out on a limb and say it just might be the best Disney World hotel for adults.
The Swan Reserve is a new boutique hotel that recently opened under Marriott’s Autograph Collection brand on Walt Disney World property.
They’re located on Crescent Lake in the Epcot Resort area. A lot of people don’t know this either, but Epcot actually has two entrances. There’s the main entrance where the parking lot is, where the monorail stops, and where all of the Disney buses drop off.
The Swolphin Resorts are a GREAT value for the money. The Swan/Dolphin/Swan Reserve are routinely about half the price of the Disney owned resorts in this area.
Besides the great location on Disney property, the Swolphin Resorts also get pretty much all of the perks that Disney resort guests get.
The hotel JUST opened in late 2021 so it still has that nice, new hotel feel. While the Swan and Dolphin are perfectly adequate, they’re definitely showing their age. But the Swan Reserve is still shiny.
