Yes! A Swan video! Finally!! I feel it often gets overlooked as far as the on property hotels go, even though it has a fantastic location. I have great memories from two stays there. Even learnt how to drive in the Swan’s parking lot 😀🦢
Swan/Dolphin are my go to at WDW. Sometimes, I can find rates less than a Disney moderate, you just have to make sure you factor in the "resort fee" and the parking fee when comparing. I actually like that it's not Disney themed, I get enough of that in the parks. Back in the before times, you could get your packages shipped back to them like you could WDW resorts. I just stay in whichever one is less.
When I can't rent DVC points I stay at the Swan for the deluxe benefits. It well worth. It allows my family to leave in the middle of the day and stack lightning lanes.
Stayed here earlier this year. Everything we saw was either amazing or trash. Beautiful lobby, then a broken light in the elevator with exposed wires. Great dining but then a bit of a mildew smell in one area. Your video is right on though. Best hotel for the money considering the price is lower than most moderate resorts at disney.
Swan and Dolphin are the best!!! Anyone going to Disney I recommend them. Great location and deluxe hotel at moderate prices. Only reason I wouldn't stay here if traveling with little kids that want 24/7 Disney.
Just cancelled stay at All Star Sports to stay at Swan.....MUCH better hotel and I SAVED about a dollar a night. (Nope not a huge difference in price, but that means I spent about a DELUXE hotel price for a motel!) All Stars are NOT worth that price. If you have to pay about $200/night for an All Star room, go off site. The amount you will spend on Lyft or Uber is still less than the difference in prices of hotels.
Just stayed at the Swan on our trip in June for the Flower and garden festival. We enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to Epcot. Rooms are nice, they are a bit dated and they need more device charging outlets. Not nearly enough. We will be back with a portable power strip. 😮😊
I'm Handicapped and have to use a Wheelchair. My family and I stayed at the Dolphin Hotel and let me tell you, we had problems starting at the Front Desk to when we got to our rooms.
I was just getting really sad that there might not be anymore Quincy resort tours because she’s done them all. Yes, we will watch them all again! Lol. And hey, we need a Quincy Star Cruiser review. Quincy-specific.
I'll NEVER stay here again. As DVC members and frequent Disney visitors, my wife and I often visit Disney World even when our limited DVC points run out. We usually stay at value resorts during this time, as we've been happy with them just like we're happy with the Deluxe Villas from DVC. Since the Swan showed very competitive rates, we bit for a five night stay last year. What we were unaware of is that Dolphn and Swan are no longer on the transportation system, so Magic Kindom is an ordeal to get to with their Mears buses. We were also surprised by huge resort fees and a substantial parking fee that made the price much higher than we expected. Decent enough room, but no Disney feel and crazy high price for something that I don't consider deluxe.
It's a weird tradeoff. Magic Kingdom is hell to get to, Animal Kingdom is almost impossible, but Hollywood and Epcot are in walking distance or a cute boat ride away. Can make sense for some trips.
at around 43 min, not sure if it is a focus lock issue or what, but the camera never quite foused on anything it was pointed at. :( Makes for a little bit of a nauseating watch. But I do love Quincy's resort tours, so I am sticking with it. :D So much information!
I would like to stay at this hotel or the neighboring one. I’m not someone that needs all the Disney theming and this seems walkable distance to one of my favorite parks which is Epcot. It looks like a beautiful hotel!
No! In my experience, you can book 60 days out. However it is not for the length of your stay. I had a 6 day trip earlier this year and I stayed at the Swan. I had to wake up early for 6 days to book my dining. It wasn't fun!
@@marshamason3295 Disney owns the land. It was leased for 99 years to the developers. The developers built and own the hotels. Marriott (inherited from Starwood) was contracted to operate the hotels. I guess similar to Disney Springs Resort Area? And I'm done researching - it's too complicated. And unimportant - Marriott points work, and you're in Disney. (Now look at the Bonnett Creek resorts (Hilton brands) on private property in a nature preserve surrounded by Disney.)
what is the point of making a mandatory fee for something, why don't they just add the price into the overall stay price and just say that when you book a room it comes with it, or make it where if you don't want to buy it you don't have to (when i looked it up, it said that it is now $40 and you have to pay it nightly, and said that all it comes with is basically just internet, fitness classes, spa?, and allowing you to do boat rentals... it may come with more idk I've never been to that one but it doesn't say anything else on their website )
Do you have extended evening benefits on check out day as well? Always wondered that. Like if the evening hours were only offered on your check out day are you still eligible?

The Swan is my favorite!! Don’t want everyone to to know how cool it is !!
Me too. Found this years ago and now it is getting harder to book. 🙁
Same!!!
Same
Quincy is my favorite for room tours! The modern age Samantha Brown!
Have our 4th and 5th stays booked at the Swan already…..we absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this location and EXTENDED HOURS!!

Such a great hotel and I love being able to walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Plus you can go to the Boardwalk too
I just got back from the Swan last night and I completely fell in love.
Bus Tip walk to the Disney hotels and get on the bus there. Same to come back from MK go to boardwalk, yacht or beach and walk from there
It’s my life goal now to teach Quincy to go a cartwheel 😂
I love the swan and dolphin. You can't bet the price or location
Thank you for this! We were looking at Yacht or Beach Club because of the location for our next trip. This is a great price for the same location!
We enjoyed our stay last June. One huge benefit is using Marriott Bonvoy points for a Disney vacation!
Definitely need an il mulino review! Always hear great things, but need Quincy’s take!
Love your work, Quincy!! The R in a circle = registered trade mark 😊
Cannot see how so many folks can afford to visit Disney, i cannot pay for a car wash.
When I can't rent DVC points I stay at the Swan for the deluxe benefits. It well worth. It allows my family to leave in the middle of the day and stack lightning lanes.
How to stack lighting? Thanks!
All Ears should do a video ranking the mini golf courses to figure out which is best - the two at WDW and the two at Universal!
Yay. Though that room is less awesome than I'd expected
Could you just walk over to a nearby hotel and use their bus to Magic Kingdom and animal Kingdom?? So you get dropped off closer
So much info! Thank you so much for that review!
Great Job Quincy! SOOOOO Love Kimonos! The Bomb!
I'd like to see y'all do Fort Wilderness in the cabins!

These are my favorite AllEars vids!
I would love for you to do a review of Il Mulino Quincy
Every vlogger says you can walk to Hollywood studios but i have yet to see one actually do the walk. In the summer, after a full day in the park.
Swan and Dolphin are the best!!! Anyone going to Disney I recommend them. Great location and deluxe hotel at moderate prices. Only reason I wouldn't stay here if traveling with little kids that want 24/7 Disney.
Stayed at the Dolphin a couple weeks ago. I can't imagine staying anywhere else now.
Challenge...4 very rainy days, 4 parks how do we get the most for our money on a budget...please not a lot of shopping..

$40 'resort fee' per night ... and $35 parking. Add $90 (with tax) for each night. Resort fees are such BS!
WTF then nevermind

Quincy = Qartwheel = 😱
That's where I went to prom and homecoming!

Quincy, please consider a video of you eating at Il Mulino and going on the swan boats!!

She didn’t do the Poly yet
maybe she could review other Orlando resorts for people who like to stay off property?
@@MarcellinaMoon I would watch any/all resort tours with Quincy. I am very curious about the off property resorts near Disney Springs!
@@Hubgrass yes, those would be fun for her to explore!
Would love to see a dining review for the Mulino restaurant
Love me some Swan!
I’m wanting to do a split stay between POR and either swan or dolphin is that easy enough? TIA
I stayed at the Swan 2 years ago. Love it!!
Looks perfect to me! Especially when you have Bonvoy points to cover it for your trip to WDW.😊
Love the hotel reviews, will you move onto doing the Universal ones now?
I'll NEVER stay here again.

I would love to see a review of the Disney Hilton Head Inn!
Review il Mulino!! Always with the food reviews!
We were originally staying at the Swan Hotel for next year’s trip but switched to Beach Club 🤣 Swan still has great amenities tho
at around 43 min, not sure if it is a focus lock issue or what, but the camera never quite foused on anything it was pointed at. :( Makes for a little bit of a nauseating watch. But I do love Quincy's resort tours, so I am sticking with it. :D So much information!
Muito bom o vídeo

Prb a dumb question but does the TV have the whole "welcome X family" with the walt disney logo?
Quincy’s make up looks great. Haven’t noticed before. But nice this episode.
Everything is so far from this hotels, outside is beautiful inside us really old, is out of my list for next trip
If you book via Marriott can you link tickets to get the deluxe perks or do you have to book all through Disney?
You mentioned the Skyliner in the video. How do you get there from Swan and where does it go from there?
Quincy could you use Broadwalk buses to MK and AK? Has anyone done this?
Thank you for this tour video! Can you book all your dining for your trip at 60 days if staying at the swan?
No! In my experience, you can book 60 days out. However it is not for the length of your stay. I had a 6 day trip earlier this year and I stayed at the Swan. I had to wake up early for 6 days to book my dining. It wasn't fun!
The “R” in a circle means it’s a Registered trademark.
Marriott-owned? Or Marriott-operated Disney-owned?
Marriott owned and operated; we use our Marriott point here

Jiminy Cricket is reminding you to let your conscience be your guide
Do you have extended evening benefits on check out day as well? Always wondered that. Like if the evening hours were only offered on your check out day are you still eligible?
You do as long as you still have a park ticket for that day.
R circled is “registered.”
pet friendly property?
FOCUS!!!!
Please don't stay at the 🦢
Definitely stay anywhere but the 🦢
Too many people have discovered them and now stay there.
We stayed at swan in April and walked between both dolphin and swan. Both have their pros and cons. Cheaper rooms at swan but better food at dolphin.
