Some big hotel changes are coming to Disney World!

We’re constantly seeing Disney Resorts get renovations, whether on rooms, the lobby, or restaurants. And recently, a BIG update was announced for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. The 3-hotel complex will be getting new convention center space, technological updates, and some renovated rooms!

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels are owned by Marriott, and the brand recently shared a sneak peek at the major expansion coming soon. Included in that sneak peek was concept art for the new convention center additions, as well as a photo of the room renovations coming to the Swan Hotel.

But how do those rooms compare to the old versions? Well, let’s take a look! In the photo shared of the new rooms, there are new fixtures, new decor, and generally an overall brighter feel to the room. Marriott said that the rooms would all be updated with luxury tile flooring.

Some of the key changes include a move to a warmer color palette, with beige curtains, an orange desk chair, warm-toned lighting, and a new area rug. The configuration of the room seems to be the same.

The beds are now decked out in wood detailing, with a wooden headboard and matching nightstands. The linens in the photo are plain white with no accent blankets or pillows.

If you look at photos of the old room, you’ll notice that things are a bit cooler in appearance, with mostly blue and gray tones. Some of the furniture looks the same, namely the couch and the desk. 

The carpet removal seems to be the biggest change. The old rooms had a blue patterned carpet — we’ve noticed many Disney World hotel rooms move away from the carpet as a design feature. Laminate flooring is much more popular these days.

Marriott also seems to be ditching the bed skirt in favor of showing off the wooden bed frame. Fewer linens to wash and clean overall, probably.

These rooms are supposed to be completed by the end of 2024, and we can’t wait to check them out! If you’re hoping to stay in a new room, for your next trip, we suggest speaking with the hotel directly to see if any are available.
