This question comes from Jeanie P., who asks “If you stay at the Swan can you purchase a meal plan?”

Jeanie, thanks for your question and for reading Chip and Co. Unfortunately, neither the Swan nor its sister resort the Dolphin participate in the Disney dining plan because it isn’t a Disney-run hotel.  In addition, Swan and Dolphin guests are not able to make room charges outside of their respective hotels or use Magical Express.  One benefit that you’ll likely be most happy to hear about is that both the Swan and Dolphin participate in Extra Magic Hours. Guests may also use package delivery from the parks (or Downtown Disney) back to their resort and park for free at Disney theme parks, however there is a fee for parking at the resort itself.

The Swan and Dolphin are run by Westin, one of the better hotel groups out there, so you can have confidence in your choice.  If you’d like to read more about the Swan and see photographs of the rooms and resort, check out the AllEars page here.

Hope that helps!
