food IS a theme park
Big things are in store for a fan-favorite Good Neighbor Hotel at Disney World!
Swan and Dolphin Hotels
The Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels have some of our favorite restaurants and experiences in all of Disney World — and they’re in the process of adding more! From new luxury dining to family gaming, let’s check out all the great things happening at the Swan and Dolphin RIGHT NOW!
You know about Disney World chicken tenders, corn dog nuggets, and even where to find the best burgers...
Rosa Mexicano
…but what about tacos? Believe it or not, you can find tacos on the menu all around Disney World — and not just in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT. In fact, we recently had some of the best tacos we’ve had on Disney World property just steps outside of EPCOT. We stopped by Rosa Mexicano at the Disney World Swan and Dolphin and trust us, you’ll want to, too!
There are over 20 Disney World hotels to choose from when planning your vacation, not counting the Good Neighbor Hotels nearby!
Swan and Dolphin
Good Neighbor hotels are hotels that aren’t owned by Disney but have a partnership with the Company that allows people to enjoy some of the perks of staying at a Disney World hotel. This includes things like free transportation to the parks and Disney Springs, Early Entry, and, starting July 24th, being able to book Lightning Lane selections up to seven days before your arrival date. There are a lot of Good Neighbor Hotels to choose from, but we’re personally HUGE fans of the Swan and Dolphin Hotels — here’s why!
Planning a Disney World vacation ain’t easy — and many folks would argue that going to Disney World isn’t really a “vacation” at all.

Things can get even more complicated if you’re traveling with a large family or group, too. Sticking to a budget is tough, and even more so when trying to find a hotel room that can fit everyone in your party. But, we’ve got a tip that might save you money in the long run — even if it sounds like it won’t!
When it comes to Disney World hotels, we all have our favorites.
Grand Floridian Resort
Some of our favorite hotels are popular choices among many Disney fans, while others are ones we like to consider hidden gems. Two of our hidden gem hotels are the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. While many Disney World visitors often forget these hotels exist, we think they are great hotel options for many. If you’re considering staying here and are on the fence, we got some news that might persuade you. Oh, and make sure to stick around and keep reading for a few more things we love about the Swan and Dolphin!
Planning your Disney World dining reservations?
The Crystal Palace
Some of ’em can be pretty hard to get! With the high crowds, Table Service reservations have been getting snatched up pretty quickly lately. But lucky for you, we’ve got plenty of tips to help you out — including a little trick that can help you snag those reservations MUCH easier and earlier.
There’s certainly no shortage of adorable Disney couples. And today, we spotted an unofficial new pairing to add to the list!
Swan Resort
From classic couples like Mickey and Minnie to newer faves like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (or should we say Eugene Fitzherbert), Disney sure knows how to get our hearts fluttering with a romantic tale. And if Disney is looking for some inspiration for their next great love story, we just spotted a pairing we’d love to pitch for their next project!

We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
Last fall, the Dolphin (of Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Hotel) revealed a brand new look for its lobby including a new lobby bar called Phins, a new grab ’n go market named Fuel, and more. And now, the Swan’s lobby is undergoing a renovation of its own.
