The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is set to be the newest hotel at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Although it is not owned or operated by Disney, the Swan Reserve (much like its sister Resorts, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin) is still going to be considered an official Disney hotel, offering similar amenities to the Disney Resort hotels that are owned by Disney on Disney World property. It is also very close to two major Disney World theme parks, EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as other fun areas of Disney property, like the BoardWalk.

The Swan Reserve was previously accepting reservations for stays beginning September 1, 2021. However, now it looks like the hotel’s opening has been delayed until September 30, 2021.

The official Marriott website (Marriott Bonvoy owns the Swan Reserve) also does not allow bookings for the hotel until September 30 or later. The website also now says that the hotel opens in fall 2021:

At this time, bookings are not currently available for stays beginning September 30 — or even stays beginning October 1, the official start date of the Walt Disney World Resort 50th anniversary celebration — through the official Walt Disney World Resort website, as you can see in the screenshot below, but we will update you when more information becomes available.
