Hello there, Cindy-Jo!
This fellow Jersey girl is so excited to hear that you're planning a stay at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. I've stayed there a few times and you can't beat the location right next to the boardwalk- it brings me back to my days of strolling along the Jersey Shore boardwalk. You can easily take a
Friendship Boat or walk to EPCOT's International Gateway or Disney's Hollywood Studios entrance.
Good news. I spoke with a friendly Cast Member and they assured me that all resort fees are included when purchasing a package through the Walt Disney World Travel company for the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel.
Cindy-Jo, I'm not sure if you have any little ones in your party, but just in case, I thought I'd share a fun tip I learned on a recent trip. Walt Disney World Resort Transportation gives out Disney Transport Official Collector Cards to Mouseketeers when they travel by bus, watercraft, monorail, tram, and Minnie Van. Whether you get to enjoy a relaxing cruise on a Friendship Boat or take a stroll around the boardwalk, I hope you find time to explore the exquisite dining, carnival games, shops, and nightlife that this Resort area has to offer.
Let me know if you're looking for any other tips.
May the magic be with you!
Melanie
