No matter how prepared you are, no matter how many checklists you have, no matter how often you double-check, there’s still a chance that you’ll forget an essential item while packing for a Walt Disney World vacation. So what are you to do?

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin

Well, if you’re staying at a certain Disney World hotel, they have a hidden gem that should be able to fulfill any need you have. 

Shh! You can find a CVS Pharmacy vending machine tucked away in a quiet corner of the Walt Disney World Swan Resort! To find it, keep going down the hall from Java. The prices seem pretty consistent with what you’d see at a typical pharmacy, so if you’re looking for a stick of deodorant or some medicine, maybe check here before hitting the hotel gift shop.

Vending Machine

The vending machine has cold medicine, allergy relief medication, Ibuprofen, antacid tablets, razors, deodorant, and more! Plus, it’s open 24/7, so if the hotel gift shop is closed, you don’t have to wait until it reopens!

The Dolphin

Speaking of hotel gift shops, we should mention that the Swan & Dolphin Resort is a little different. It’s not a standard Disney gift shop because, technically, this isn’t a Disney hotel!

While the hotel is located right next to resorts like Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club and BoardWalk, the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort is actually NOT owned by Disney. The resort is a Marriott Hotel. (That means you can use and earn Marriott Bonvoy reward points, people!)

The good news is that it’s a Good Neighbor Resort, meaning you can get the same perks as those offered at a Disney World hotel.
