The Swan and Dolphin Resorts at Walt Disney World just completed the largest redesign that the resort has ever done.  The resorts are located around the Boardwalk area of Walt Disney World, but aren’t actually owned directly by Walt Disney World.  They are owned by Starwood Hotels.  The renovation cost a total of $140 million  and took 3 years to complete.  The renovation included a new resort lobby, meeting space and a redesign of all of the guest rooms.  Now that the renovation the resort is completely back reopen to book at full capacity, which will be much needed once Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge finally open over the next couple years at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
