The Epcot Area Resorts Dining Guide at Disney World

3. Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels

These are upscale hotels that are not technically Disney Resorts, so keep in mind that their restaurants typically don't accept Disney Dining Plan credits. However, they're still conveniently located within walking distance of Epcot.
