Welcome, Meredith, to planDisney! We love to help each and every Guest make their
Disney vacations the best ever.
The
Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is located in one of my favorite places at the
Walt Disney World Resort, right by
Disney's BoardWalk. You can walk or take a boat to both
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios and you can easily access the
restaurants and unique
entertainment offerings on Disney's BoardWalk. A bunch of my fellow
planDisney Panelists just ate at
Trattoria al Forno for breakfast this past weekend and it was outstanding! If the Al Forno Eggs is on
the menu, I highly recommend it. And the Iced Coffee was a delicious treat...almost like a scrumptious caffeinated dessert!
If you would like physical cards to use to tap into the parks, sometimes referred to as"Key to the World Cards," you are welcome to visit a ticket window or
Guest Relations location outside of the theme parks to request one. You can also do this at the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs.
Now, I know that I talked up Disney's BoardWalk, but don't forget
the restaurants at and around your hotel too!
Amare is at the top of my list. I'm particularly excited to try their
flatbreads. And if you love a good steakhouse, whenever the best steaks at the
Walt Disney World Resort are brought up,
Shula's Steak House at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel inevitably comes up in the conversation. And if your visit overlaps with the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which starts on November 29, 2024, EPCOT is just a short walk or boat ride away for some delicious options at their Holiday Kitchens!
Meredith, enjoy your holiday visit to the resort. Be sure to check out the
Gingerbread Displays and the
specialty treats available when you are there. If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you!
It's so nice to take your coals off once in a while,Matt
