Walt Disney World Swan And Dolphin Resort

This hotel is (or rather, these hotels are!) an Orlando icon for a reason - Swan & Dolphin present the best of both worlds in terms of being the only non-Disney hotel (despite the name) that's actually within the grounds of Walt Disney World, for a much lower price tag than 4★+/5★ Disney equivalents. Benefitting from 'extra magic hours', the early entry perk to Disney parks normally only extended to guests staying at official Disney resorts is a game changer. The resort fee also has some good inclusions, for example a 30 minute swan boat ride on the lake. Trailfinders rates also include the resort fee as standard, providing exceptional value and saving what would be a chunky local payment.

The Dolphin hotel is actually a Sheraton, whereas the Swan hotel is a Westin and therefore benefits from the brand's famously comfortable Heavenly Beds. Both hotels give access to myriad dining options and leisure facilities, all excellent quality.
