For those unaware, the Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin are not Disney-owned hotels, despite being located on Walt Disney World property.
However, despite this, the hotels offer some major Disney-level perks, including serving two of the resort’s most iconic snacks. So, it’s safe to say they are seriously a great place to stay during a Disney World vacation!
The Swan & Dolphin are home to over 20 restaurants and lounges that offer “something for everyone, from the most passionate foodie, to those seeking a quick, yet satisfying meal”, including both Mickey Waffles and DOLE Whip!
Let’s begin with Mickey Waffles, which can be found at Java inside the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. Available for $7.50 from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the iconic waffles come with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
While these are the same Mickey Waffles you’ll find at other restaurants on Disney property, the advantage comes from their convenience. They’re a quick grab-and-go-style item you can enjoy on your way to the parks. No sit-down meal, no dining reservation, no major planning. Just Mickey Waffles in their purest form!
Waffles shaped like the “Big Cheese” aren’t the only major Disney snack you can grab at the hotels, though. Over at the Dolphin’s Fuel, you can find a customizable Frozen Yogurt and DOLE Whip station!
Classic Pineapple DOLE Whip is one of the six flavors available here, with others including Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, New York Cheesecake, and Caramel Corn. In other words, you can mix 1-2 flavors with 10 different toppings to choose from, like say New York Cheesecake and Pineapple Dole Whip with sprinkles and nuts on top…and sorry about that, started channeling my inner Homer Simpson for a second there.
Curious where to find your other favorite snacks on Disney property? Well, our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!
Beyond snacks, guests at the Swan & Dolphin also have accommodations on par with Disney’s Deluxe Resorts, and offer many of the same perks as Disney’s Deluxe Tier, including:
- The ability to book Lightning Lanes 7 days in advance
- Early Entry to Disney’s theme parks.
- Extended Evening Hours at select Disney theme parks.
- Complimentary transportation.
- On-site and online Disney tickets.
- Advance tee times at Disney golf courses.
If you find yourself staying at the Swan or Dolphin and craving iconic Disney Snacks like Mickey Waffles and DOLE Whip, you don’t need to leave your hotel and head to the parks; simply make your way to Java or Fuel. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World tips.
