To reach the Swan from your resort location via Disney Transportation: take a bus to EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios, and transfer over to a Swan and Dolphin Resort Bus (we recommend leaving 45 minutes prior to your intended arrival).

If you are park-hopping and feeling hungry before cocktails, there are numerous and diverse options for dinner at EPCOT's World Showcase, ranging from quick service meals to upscale options (reservations are recommended for table service meals). For our guests not going into the Parks on Friday, we recommend dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, located at Disney's Yacht Club Resort, the Flying Fish, or Trattoria al Forno, both located at Disney's BoardWalk Inn (again reservations are suggested).
