This Disney World Hotel Offers a Year-Round Discount for Annual Passholders

The Swan & Dolphin Resorts represent some of the most unique hotels at Disney World… and they’re not even owned by Disney!

Swan and Dolphin Hotels

For those unaware, despite being located on Walt Disney World property, the Swan and Dolphin are not Disney hotels. The Michael Graves-designed hotels were initially part of a joint venture between Disney, the developer Tishman, insurance company MetLife, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The hotels are currently operated by Marriott’s Sheraton Hotels and Resorts brand, after Marriott acquired Starwood in 2016. However, despite this, the hotels offer some Disney-level perks, including Annual Passholder discounts.

Right now, Disney Annual Passholders can save up to 30% off regular room rates at both the Swan and the Dolphin. Considering the hotels offer amenities on par with — or some would argue exceeding Disney’s Deluxe Tier Resorts, AND they’re located within walking distance of Hollywood Studios and EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance, that’s a major deal

To access the discount, Disney Annual Passholders can call the hotels at 1-888-828-8850 and ask for promotional code ANNUAL PASSHOLDER RATE, or when booking online, use the promotional code QWH that appears in the Corporate/Promo code box. A Valid/current Disney Annual Pass is required at check-in to receive this offer.

Speaking of Disney’s Deluxe Tier Hotels, guests at the Swan & Dolphin not only have accommodations on par with them, but they also offer many of the same perks as Disney’s Deluxe Tier, including:

The ability to book Lightning Lanes 7 days in advance
Early Entry to Disney’s theme parks.
Extended Evening Hours at select Disney theme parks.
Complimentary transportation.
On-site and online Disney tickets.
Advance tee times at Disney golf courses.

Early Entry at EPCOT

In addition, the hotels are home to over 20 restaurants and lounges that offer “something for everyone, from the most passionate foodie, to those seeking a quick, yet satisfying meal”, as well as seasonal special events, often tied to Walt Disney World Celebrations, including Halloween Weekend and the Food & Wine Classic.
