The Swan is smaller and more "quaint".
The Dolphin is much larger, has more restaurants and a spa.
Depends upon your preference.
I would not complain about either one frankly, as they both have their charms and share a pool.
Both offer excellent views of Epocot, and Swan can have a view of MGM & Epcot in a corner room.
Both offer Heavenly beds which are...well Heavenly.
(and no I don't work for either the Swan or the Dolphin although they should pay me!)
If you belong or join Starwoods program, you can also earns points and take advantage of earlier check in and or late check out.
The transportation is (especially to Epc & MGM) great. You could even walk if you feel like a little exerciize. (Its about 3/4 mile)
If you are like me, when you have stayed there, you may ask yourself,"why have we never stayed here before?"
Considering the price, amenities and location, IMO it's one of the best deals at WDW.
Enjoy your stay!
