Sold-Out Beach Club? Consider Staying at the Swan and Dolphin Hotels

When Disney's Beach Club Resort is sold out during peak seasons, there are two options - change your travel dates or stay at another hotel. The Beach Club Resort tends to sell out quickly due to its popularity and proximity to two theme parks.

The Swan and Dolphin Hotels, located next door, offer a similar experience without the hefty price tag. These Marriott-owned hotels provide walking distance and boat transportation to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, as well as bus transportation to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs.

Guests at the Swan and Dolphin Hotels can enjoy Extended Evening Hours, Early Theme Park Entry, and signature table-service restaurants like Todd English's bluezoo and Il Mulino New York Trattoria. The pool at the Swan Reserve offers a spectacular view of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

The cost difference between staying at the Beach Club Resort and the Swan or Dolphin Hotels is significant - from August 30th through September 5th, it costs $600 per night plus tax to stay at the Beach Club Resort, while prices start at only $250 per night plus tax at either the Swan or Dolphin Hotels. The Swan Reserve starts at $264 per night plus tax for this given week.
