Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotels RESORT
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Dolphin 407-934-4000, Swan 407-934-3000; www.swandolphin.com ;
1200 & 1500 Epcot Resorts Blvd; r $160-380; Disney, Disney)
These two Michael Graves-designed high-rise luxury hotels, which face each other on
Disney property and share facilities, offer a distinctly toned-down Disney feel but all the
Disney perks, including Disney transportation and Magic Hours (where a theme park
opens early and closes late for guests at Disney hotels only).
Perched along the bay between Epcot and Hollywood Studios, these are the only non-
Disney hotels next to a theme park. Online and last-minute deals can save literally hun-
dreds of dollars.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort RESORT

man Way, Walt Disney World; r value/regular/peak $182/211/237; ; Disney)
A Disney taste of the islands means painted beds, pastel rooms, a food court that looks like
a street festival during Carnival and a pool with a vague resemblance to ancient temple ru-
ins. This hotel sits along 45-acre Barefoot Bay, and does not have convenient boat trans-
portation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
Rooms, some pirate-themed, spread out among two-story motel-like buildings.

This resort embodies the seaside charm of Atlantic City in its heyday, with a waterfront the
color of saltwater taffy, tandem bicycles with candy-striped awnings, and a splintery
boardwalk. The lovely lobby features sea-green walls, hardwood floors and soft floral vin-
tage seating areas. Elegant rooms have a terrace or balcony.
