I'm extremely disappointed by this renovation. I'd be the first to admit that Graves 'entertainment architecture' never really worked all that well, but these new rooms have absolutely no personality whatsoever... which wouldn't be a problem if they were at any other normal Sheraton or Westin. But the architecture of that resort cries out for something a bit more dynamic (and a bit more Graves).

They look beautiful, but a little plain for a Disney resort room.

Looks clean, elegant, luxurious. Not everything needs to be a Little Mermaid room.

I like them a lot. They are bright and sleek, and they still manage to look very comfortable. They look like an excellent place to decompress, and I bet their beds are still the best on property by a large margin.

I'm a little confused by the term "grand deluxe room" - it sounds like they are renovating all of the rooms. Is that the description they are using for all of the updated rooms, or are these for suites/special view rooms, etc? Is there any sign that the prices will go way up as a result?
As for the look, I like the sleek, contemporary look. I don't spend a lot of time in the rooms, so I just like a comfortable, clean place to sleep.

These new rooms look great to me! I have actually never stayed here, but I'm seriously considering it for my next trip!
Don't.... Just stayed there and it just doesn't have Disney feel at all.... I been going for 30 years and blah...

I would definitely recommend checking them out. We have stayed at them a couple time and love the convenience of the location and getting deluxe level amenities at a price close to that of a moderate.
I've contacted the Swan to find out about this, I will update when I find out.

May just be me, but all the stuff about not feeling like disney?
You are as close to 2 of the parks as anywhere on property as well as the boardwalk and 3 other 'disneyfied' hotels... It's an amazing option for the location and price...
Comfortable beds and good pool area... What else do you do in a hotel!?
May just be me but I can get to sleep just fine without mickey carpet and interactive wall art!

The Swan/Dolphin were never really on my radar, but these rooms look quite nice and the location is great. After seeing the 2015 Disney Resort room rates, we might give this hotel a try next trip. We've always stayed AKL and love it, but $320/$342 a night for a standard view room ($429/$457 for Savannah view) in VALUE season is beyond ridiculous.

Yeah, but...but...I got nothing.

That's probably because it's not a Disney hotel........
Besides that, I have always considered both hotels an eyesore. Now I know Disney didn't design them, but they sure had to approve the designs.....what were they thinking.

They may not be to everyone's taste but they look a lot better than the generic buildings popping up everywhere else that are 'disneyfied' resort hotels... Standard hotel plus a 3 storey nemo character and it's better.... Don't think so
