I hope the add some parking spaces, too...

350 rooms... somewhat close to Hollywood Studios? Pure speculation, but could this be the Star Wars hotel? I was thinking the SW hotel would be where the old entrance to DHS was and backing up to SW:GE, but this might work as well.

Where is the pool going go be? I'm sure we're all thinking SW hotel! Will they keep the mini-golf? Love Fantasia Gardens!

Nope. SW hotel will be closer to DHS.

Mini golf is staying.

There will be a parking expansion.

I'm stoked. Will definitely be trying this one.

Thanks, Robert. After I posted I saw your comment in the news thread that this is speculated to be part of the Swolphin complex. Plus, glad to hear the minigolf is staying.

Maybe they could do a roof top pool with pool bar and stuff that overlooks the studios with views of fireworks and stufff

How does this compare in size to the existing Swan and Dolphin resorts?

Much smaller.

Swan has 700+ rooms. Dolphin has 1500+.

If so, I'm moving there. Are you suggesting they're building this just for me? Because you've just described my WDW hotel heaven. The roof top pool and bar can be 21 and over only and have day life. I'd suggest they could go over even further, but I won't.

Ya'll, I'm tickled to death by the idea of more Swolphin goodness. Didn't even know it was a possibility!

Insert lots of bad white girl dancing.

This could spell even more trouble for the Disney-owned Epcot resorts. Aren't the Boardwalk and Yacht &Beach resorts already struggling to fill rooms?

Yep, I was hoping the Riviera DVC was 21 and older. We will be at this one on occasion as well.

So is it a Disney hotel or an expansion of Swan/Dolphin?

Said to be a Swolphin counterpart but not completely certain.

It's got to be The Pelican with a statue of a bluebird on top, right?

 

[Brocktoon]

Will they allow dogs? Yup ... I went there!

Seriously though, IF this is run like the Swolphin I think guests would still get most of the onsite perks? What's missing for Swolphin guests, as I believe they get 60 day FPs, EMHs, bus transportation, package delivery etc ... Is the Swolphin only missing Magical Express and on site charging to Magic bands?

As mentioned Disney's Epcot resorts may need to step up their game
