Disney guests seeking relief from festival crowds and long wait times at EPCOT can find a hidden oasis at the Swan and Dolphin Resort. Although not owned by Disney, this Marriott property is located just minutes from both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Visitors can reach the resort by walking a half-mile path from the International Gateway or by taking a Friendship Boat. The resort offers convenient grab-and-go options like Fuel and Java, where guests can enjoy coffee, snacks, and even find Dr. Pepper on Disney property. For a more relaxed dining experience, The Fountain at the Dolphin serves decadent milkshakes and classic diner fare. Guests can also relax in the Dolphin’s second-floor lobby or the Swan’s courtyard to take a break from the park heat. These resorts even sell Disney merchandise through gift cards and offer reservations at upscale restaurants like Bourbon Steak. This hidden gem provides a perfect escape for anyone needing a respite from the chaotic Disney World parks.
