The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin has launched its Summer Story Worth Telling campaign with a stack of discounts and on-property events running from now through August, and if you fall into any of the qualifying categories the savings are worth a serious look.
Annual Passholders and Florida residents can both book at up to 30% off, while teachers and school personnel get up to 25% off for the summer. All of the current offers are available at swandolphin.com/offers, and this pairs well with Disney’s existing Florida Resident theme park ticket deals if you are building a full trip around both.
If you are already thinking ahead past summer, the resort also has its 17th Annual Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic locked in for November 20 and 21, 2026. Single-night tickets run $215, with a 10% discount for the two-night bundle. It is our personal favorite Food and Wine event at Walt Disney World, and if you are already planning a fall trip around the resort the timing is worth putting on your radar now.
Summer Events and Monthly Highlights
Beyond the room rate savings, the resort has a full calendar of on-property programming through the summer. Memorial Day weekend kicked things off with a live DJ, carnival games, and balloon artists. June brings nightly cinema on the beach, daily s’mores, and drink specials, plus a complimentary scoop of ice cream for kids on National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on June 7 and free onion rings on June 22 for National Onion Ring Day.
Soccer fans will find all-day match coverage on big screens from June 11 through July 19, with game day food, themed cocktails, and tournament activities throughout the window. Guests traveling from the South Florida tournament venue can take Brightline to the resort and pick up a $25 hotel credit per night through the Match to Magic offer.
July adds a Summer Concert Series running through the end of August, open to hotel guests and non-guests who purchase a resort pass, with live music, themed food trucks, and specialty cocktails. July 4th weekend includes a free slice of cake as part of an America’s 250th Birthday Party. August keeps the momentum going with five more concerts, empanadas, elote, and free ice cream for kids all month long.
Why the Swan and Dolphin Makes Sense for a Walt Disney World Trip
The resort sits in a strong position for Walt Disney World visitors, with complimentary transportation to select Walt Disney World locations, direct waterway and walkway access to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, early park entry across all four theme parks daily, and extended evening hours on select nights. Six pools, 23 dining options, and three health clubs round out the on-property experience.

Our Take: The Swan and Dolphin occupies a genuinely unique spot in the Walt Disney World hotel landscape. You get Disney resort benefits including early park entry, you can walk or boat to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, and the room rates consistently come in below comparable Disney-owned deluxe hotels. Stack a 30% Passholder or Florida Resident discount on top of that and the value math gets very compelling very fast. The summer programming is a bonus, but the location and the discount are the real story here. And if you are a Food and Wine person, booking a summer stay now while rates are favorable and coming back in November for the Classic is not a bad way to plan out the back half of 2026.
