Despite fewer resort facilities at the Swan, stays there will often cost more than those at the Dolphin. No matter which one you visit, the free transportation to Disney parks and the ability to earn or redeem Marriott points is the icing on the cake.

Generally, the Walt Disney World Swan (a Westin property) is more expensive than the Walt Disney World Dolphin (a Sheraton property). While they share the same resort complex and amenities, the Swan is positioned as a slightly more "boutique" and upscale experience, featuring Queen-sized beds compared to the Dolphin's Double-sized beds. In 2026, price differences typically range from $20 to $50 per night, depending on the season. The Dolphin is the larger of the two and often hosts more large-scale conventions, which can occasionally drive its prices up during peak event weeks. However, for most families, the Dolphin is the better value because its standard rooms can accommodate five guests with a rollaway bed, whereas the Swan rooms are strictly limited to a maximum of four occupants.
