Is water free at Dolphin Hotel?

Swan and Dolphin do offer one amenity the Disney hotels don't, though: free bottled water in your room, which they'll replenish daily.



At the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel, the availability of "free" water depends on your specific stay details and where you are on the property. As part of the mandatory Resort Fee (currently around $45 per night in 2026), guests typically receive two complimentary bottles of water in their room daily. However, outside of your room, bottled water at the quick-service locations like Fuel or at the poolside bars is not free and can be quite expensive. A peer-to-peer "budget hack" is to take advantage of the water refill stations located near the fitness center and in the lobby areas; if you bring your own reusable bottle, you can get chilled, filtered water for free throughout your stay. Additionally, like all Disney-area dining locations, you can ask for a cup of iced tap water at any counter-service restaurant at no charge, which is a great way to stay hydrated in the Florida heat without relying on the limited bottled supply in your hotel room.
