The Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve are keeping their $50-a-night resort credit past summer, now tied to upgraded rooms
The Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve are offering a $50 resort credit for every night of an upgraded-room stay booked with promo code E6469. The offer appeared on the hotels' page in June as a summer promotion under a different code; the current version drops the summer framing, and Disney Fanatic reports it is scheduled to run through August 31, 2027. The same page still lists standing discounts for annual passholders, Florida residents, teachers, AAA members, first responders and Brightline riders.
The Walt Disney World Swan, Walt Disney World Dolphin and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve are handing back $50 for every night of a stay in an upgraded room, and the offer that started life as a summer special is still on the hotels' books in late September. The credit is pitched at pool days, dining and the spa, it books with promotional code E6469, and it applies at all three Marriott-run hotels in the EPCOT resort area. Disney Fanatic reported on Sunday that the package is scheduled to stay available through August 31, 2027, which would carry it through two more holiday seasons at Walt Disney World.
How the $50 nightly resort credit works
The hotels' special offers page lists the deal under the heading "Indulge With a $50 Resort Credit." The pitch is short: poolside days, dining and spa time, funded by a $50 credit for each night you book, on the condition that the reservation is for an upgraded room. The page does not spell out which room categories count as upgraded, so that is a question to ask when you book.
There are two ways in. Online, the Marriott booking engine has to show promotional code E6469 in the Corporate/Promo code box before you search. By phone, the reservations line at 1-888-828-8850 takes the same offer under the name "$50 RESORT CREDIT PROMO." The offers page carries separate Book Now buttons for the Swan, the Dolphin and the Swan Reserve, so all three hotels participate.

A summer perk that outlived the summer
This is not the first version of the credit. A copy of the same offers page from June 9 headlined it "Indulge All Summer With a $50 Resort Credit," promised "the most magical summer escape," and booked under promotional code ZX0. That version's fine print also carried a line requiring a current Disney annual pass at check-in. The page as it reads today, last updated on August 22 according to the site's own metadata, drops the word summer, drops the annual pass line, adds the upgraded-room condition and swaps in code E6469. The same rewrite left the hotels' other summer headline in place: the 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points offer that ran alongside it expired on September 8, 2026, so the resort credit is now the lead promotion on the page.
The Buzz
The credit has been sitting on the hotels' own page for weeks, but it picked up attention on September 20 when Disney Fanatic reported that the package is scheduled to remain bookable through August 31, 2027, and did the arithmetic: $200 across four nights, $350 across seven. That report also says the credit can be spent at any of the three hotels rather than only the one you sleep in, and that eligible dining and the room charge itself are both valid uses. None of those three details appears on the Swan and Dolphin page, so treat them as the outlet's reporting rather than the hotels' printed terms until you confirm them at booking.
Read the fine print before you count on $350
The terms attached to the offer are the standard Swan and Dolphin set. Rates are per room, per night, based on single or double occupancy, and subject to availability when you book. Only a limited number of rooms carry the rate, blackout dates apply, and the offer is for individual leisure travel, so a room on a negotiated group block does not qualify. Room rates exclude state and local taxes, and the hotels' Resort Service Package is billed per room, per night on top of the rate. Marriott also reserves the right to pull the offer at any time, which is why the reported 2027 end date is a plan and not a promise.
The arithmetic that matters is the premium for the upgraded room. If a standard room you would have booked anyway costs $60 a night less than the upgraded category the credit requires, the $50 is a discount on a room you did not want. If the gap is under $50, or you were already eyeing a view room for a special trip, the credit is real money back at the pool bar or Mandara Spa. Promo codes go into the Marriott search one at a time, so a passholder or Florida resident should price the credit against the percentage discounts below rather than assume either one wins.
The other standing rates on the same page
The $50 credit shares the offers page with a long list of discounts that do not expire on a printed date. Each has its own promotional code and its own proof requirement at check-in:
- Disney Annual Passholder rate: up to 30 percent off, code QWH, with a current annual pass shown at check-in.
- Florida Resident rate: up to 30 percent off, code L9Z, with valid Florida ID.
- Senior Citizen rate: special pricing for guests 62 and older, code S9R, with proof of age.
- Teacher and School Staff rate: up to 25 percent off, code S5198, with a teacher or school-issued ID.
- AAA and CAA rate: up to 25 percent off the best available rate, code AAA, card required.
- First Responder and Nurse rate: a thank-you rate for nurses, doctors, firefighters, paramedics and medical professionals, code Y7N, ID required.
- Law Enforcement, Military and Government rate: up to 25 percent off regular rates, code GOV, ID required.
- Brightline Experience rate: a $25 hotel credit per night for guests who show Brightline train tickets at check-in, code E6775. This one carries a one-night deposit, a five-day cancellation window, excludes room, tax and fees from the credit, and cannot be combined with other promotions.
- Stay Connected: book any rate, then call 800-227-1500 to add a second room under the same name and dates for up to 25 percent off regular rates.
What a Swan and Dolphin stay comes with at Walt Disney World
The three hotels sit across the water from Disney's BoardWalk and describe themselves as Deluxe-tier Disney resorts managed by Marriott. The Swan is a Westin, the Dolphin a Sheraton, and the Swan Reserve, which opened across Epcot Resorts Boulevard in 2021, is an Autograph Collection hotel. Guests earn Marriott Bonvoy points on every stay, and the offers page confirms the two Disney perks that matter most: Early Theme Park Entry, a 30-minute head start at all four Walt Disney World theme parks including check-in and check-out days, which the page says will continue through 2026, and Extended Evening Hours on select nights in select parks. Both are the same benefits Disney's own hotels carry.
Location does the rest. EPCOT's International Gateway is a walk along the canal, Disney's Hollywood Studios is reachable on foot or by Friendship boat, and the boats also serve EPCOT. The credit also lands ahead of the hotels' biggest food weekend of the year: the 17th Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic runs Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21, 2026 on the causeway, with more than 50 dishes on this year's menus.
Bookable now, with a reported end date of August 31, 2027
What is settled: the credit is live on the hotels' own page, it applies at the Swan, the Dolphin and the Swan Reserve, it requires an upgraded room, and code E6469 is the key. What is not: the hotels print no end date, no list of qualifying room types and no statement on where the credit can be spent. Disney Fanatic's August 31, 2027 date fills the first gap and the Marriott terms leave the door open to an earlier exit. The practical move is to run the E6469 search for your dates and set the result beside the passholder or Florida resident rate for the same room, since only one code goes in at a time. If the upgraded room is one you wanted anyway, the credit is the better deal, and it now appears to have close to a year of runway left.
