The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort is undergoing a massive $275 million expansion and renovation, including refreshed and modernized guest rooms, along with a significant boost to the property’s event and convention capabilities. As part of this extensive project, every guest room in the Walt Disney World Swan will receive a complete remodel by 2024.
The newly renovated guest rooms are designed to blend luxury with the resort’s signature water-themed aesthetic. Featuring sleek tile flooring, updated furnishings, and enhanced technology, the refreshed rooms aim to offer guests a modern, comfortable retreat. These upgrades are a follow-up to the introduction of the 349 luxury guest rooms at the Swan Reserve in 2021, which introduced an upscale boutique feel to the resort complex.
Expansion Highlights
In addition to the guest room renovations, the Swan and Dolphin Resort is expanding its meeting and convention spaces. This includes:
- A new two-story annex: Adding 120,000 square feet of meeting space, with an airy, light-filled atrium featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a dramatic staircase.
- Enhanced functionality: Expanded foyers and pre-function areas designed to improve event flow and networking.
- Updated design: The new and existing spaces will feature a refreshed look, with a blend of whites, blues, and natural wood elements that complement the resort’s water theme.
This expansion makes the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin one of the largest convention properties on the East Coast, with a total of 469,000 square feet of event space across its three buildings.
With construction starting this November, the project is slated for completion by late summer 2026.
