The final phase for the Swan Guest Room redesign will commence the week of April 8th and will be completed by end of year 2024. Upon completion, ALL Swan Guest rooms will have been redesigned and updated.
The Swan guest room redesign features notable upgrades including new wood laminate flooring, new furniture, 65” flat screen TVs, updates to soft goods and enhancements to guest room bathrooms as well.
Work will take place daily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., when the majority of guests are out of their rooms--each section of rooms being worked on will be placed out of order. Additionally, the guest rooms on the floor directly below where the work is being done will also be placed out of order to minimize noise impact.

Disappointing Shortfalls
maa206 (Marshall, Minnesota) on Jun 19, 2024
The property and complex are well maintained on the whole. While there were positive encounters with pool, food and beverage, and housekeeping staff, there were service shortfalls elsewhere. Brooklyn at the front desk was disinterested and visibly miffed at having to check me in. She seemed to mock my Platinum status (even though I never mentioned it) by immediately stating that there were no upgrades, while chuckling. Again, I never asked for any. Then, she reluctantly offered the amenities that accompany the status. The check-in was cold, impersonal, and hostile. The most disappointing encounter was with a bell/valet person on my last day. I was screamed at for attempting to load my luggage under the portico. The valet berated me the entire time. My attempts to escalate to management went nowhere. Alphonso did call me but seemed unfazed by this encounter. To have paid resort fee and parking only to be screamed at and ignored is unacceptable.
Served its purpose
ClRaB17 (Chicago, Illinois) on May 27, 2024
Overall the stay was good. While more economical than other DIsney resorts at the outset, be aware that parking is exorbitant, they add all kids of fees to your bill, including a resort fee of $45 per day. They say you get internet but I already get that as Titanium. They say you get access to a gym, pool, and fitness (don't you expect that at any hotel?) I don't want to ride a swan so don't charge me for it. At the rate, all those amenities should be included. The location is great if you are visiting Epcot or Hollywood Studios in WDW. There is a lot to do not too far away as well. The hotel rooms are basic and in need of some TLC. The room we were assigned had a nice view of Epcot. Check-in person (Brooklyn) was not friendly or helpful at all, barely looking up at us during check-in. Would make a request or say something and would completely fail to acknowledge. I wonder if it was a hearing issue, if then I could overlook. I didn't need to interact with any other staff so I am not sure if it was that one person or lack of training. Sadly this was our first impression. So different from one would expect at WDW Resort. Pool is a nice area. If you can't find one at the main pool there are some smaller pools that are less crowded (though more basic). Besides check in interaction and the fees they tack on, it was a fine stay.
