Parking at Swan and Dolphin for dining

Greetings,

I recently made reservations for one of the restaurants at the Swan and Dolphin for a V-Day dinner on the 14th.

It will be my first time going to the S & D, and I was wondering what the parking situation is like just to go for dining...is there a fee to park or will the restaurants validate? Just curious what to expect for parking when going for dinner and not to stay.

Thanks for any input!

I think the signature restaurants will validate. In the past, I've eaten at Shula's & Blue Zoo, driven over & they validated our valet charge. This was a few years ago & I haven't driven over for dinner in the past few years. We either go over from Epcot or arrive via Disney bus. Give them a call & they should be able to answer the question. I would call the restaurant directly & ask.

Until a few months ago, Il Mulino in the Swan validated. On the most recent visit we were instructed to present our dinner receipt to the parking attendant who checked it, then raised the bar.

The Swan and Dolphin are both beautiful resorts. I am personally partial to the Dolphin. Take some time to check out their lobbies, shops, and grounds. Have a great Valentines Day dinner!

Thank you all for the assistance and comments.

And DisneyPrincess...looking around the resorts (at WDW and otherwise) is just one of the things we love about dining at the hotels, so we will definitely be checking out the lobbies and grounds of the hotel :)

I'm really excited about finally getting to try Bluezoo!
