Disney4me Posted August 11 Report Posted August 11 When it comes to room service, there are only two locations at Disney World that offer it. That may come as a surprise, since for many guests, room service is an essential element of a hotel stay, arguably more of a basic necessity than a “perk.” It’s a beautiful resort! Disney’s flagship resort, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, offers room service — or “private dining options” — from both breakfast and dinner menus. However, that Deluxe Tier Resort isn’t our focus today. Rather, we’re looking at the other hotels where room service is available on Disney property: The Swan & Dolphin. Before we continue, an important caveat: While the Swan & Dolphin are on Disney property, they are NOT owned by Disney. The Michael Graves-designed hotels, both of which opened in 1990, were initially part of a joint venture between Disney, the developer Tishman, insurance company MetLife, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The hotels are currently operated by Marriott’s Sheraton Hotels and Resorts brand, after Marriott acquired Starwood in 2016. That ownership situation is likely why these independent resorts offer room service. Swan Reserve Entrance The Swan & Dolphin offer breakfast from 6 AM to 11 AM and dinner from 5 PM to 11:55 PM.
