Here is a quick look at the latest construction progress at The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve.

The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve construction - October 13 2020

Work continued during the majority of the COVID-19 shutdown that impacted most construction projects at Walt Disney World, so this project appears to be remaining largely on track.

Or staffing? We have Veterans day weekend booked but I feel like that may not happen. In that case, do they just book you a room at the Dolphin or Swan?

Gotta be some sort of materials delay.

It will not matter if there can not be any bookings available until next year. It is just another hotel tower that did not measure up to the concept & art projections. There will always be guests that want to be the first to stay a brand new hotel, sort of break it in and brag they were the first other than that its not a very inspiring or even interesting structure.

Another delay? First bookable date isn't until November 7th.

Another update with the opening moved to October. First bookable date on the website is October 13th.

The hotel will be closed, so saying no would just mean losing our Marriott points. For whatever reason, it's on us to actually cancel. Swan and Dolphin still available for the same dates, but not really what we're looking for at this stage - shortened our Orlando visit and will hit up Swan Reserve at a later date. The rooms do look beautiful.

Did you say no?

Figured I'd share here, but we had a booking at Swan Reserve starting on 9/5 and they just asked us to cancel due to construction delays. Bummer.

That paint job reminds me of the Fukushima Reactor

It's such a relief to know where the resort's chiller is. Also, for reference, full screen map: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/maps/overview-details/
