I’m staying at the Walt Disney World’s Swan hotel, a Starwood property, for a conference this week. I think I’ve stayed at the sister property…the Dolphin, several years ago. It’s a resort style hotel filled with activities, a lap pool, a man-made lake, spa, etc… If you’re here for business, it’s worth getting the Resort Package which is an extra $10/day. It includes high speed internet, health club access, local and long distance calls. It’s definitely worth it because you’ll probably use these services anyway.
There’s a complimentary shuttle service to all the disney theme parks, and walking distance to Disney’s Boardwalk. Location and activities are terrific. The standard hotel room is just ok, although you get the standard sleeper bed which is one of the key reasons why I prefer Starwood properties.
