This is the hotel my family prefers to stay at.
This sister of the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel employs the same modern design sensibilities with a nod to Renaissance elegance. Clamshell fountains and graceful twin swans preside over swaying palm trees, verdant lawns and the gleaming shores of Crescent Lake, while a wave motif with a coral-and-aqua color scheme embodies Florida's unique subtropical style. To get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, you must take a boat, or bus. The boat is a fun experience, and is wheelchair and stroller accessible. Find instant relaxation at a 3-acre tropical paradise with a cascading waterfall and rock caves. Lush landscaping provides a serene backdrop, while a slide and 4 whirlpools offer just enough excitement. Impromptu poolside games and cool tunes courtesy of a DJ make the grotto a lively locale worth lingering at, as do gourmet bites and signature cocktails from the nearby Cabana Bar and Beach Club. A kiddie pool, 2 lap pools and a spring pool equal gallons of fun for everyone!

This is the only hotel on Disney property that is not owned by Disney themselves. The hotel is actually Marriott.
It is located 1500 Epcot Resorts Blvd. Lake Buena Vista Fl. 32830
Here is their website http://www.swandolphinmedia.com/index.html
There are many different activities on site to do. Pools, Swan Paddle Boats, Game Room, Spa, Camp Dolphin, and many restaurants.
There is transportation from the hotels to the parks and Disney Springs. There are boats servicing to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Animal and Magic Kingdom use bus services. It's cool to be able to ride the boats to the parks.
The Swan and Dolphin Resort has been named Marriott Hotel of the Year!
They are getting quick service food and drinks soon, so stay tuned.
The Resort is very kid friendly, and they say that every need is covered.
I will post my review when I come back!
