The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is now the largest convention hotel on the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, following a recent expansion. Today, the property now offers 600,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, alongside its more than 2,600 guestrooms.
The most recent addition can account for 100,000 square feet of this space. The $300 million event space addition, dubbed Peninsula, is the property’s first major expansion of its type since 2003. The two-story venue encompasses a large foyer, multipurpose spaces, pre-function spaces, a ballroom and more.
“This expansion represents far more than additional meeting space; it reflects our ongoing commitment to listening to our customers and investing in the future of the meetings and events industry,” said Sean Verney, area general manager, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. “The new venue provides planners with unprecedented flexibility and creativity to design truly unforgettable experiences. Whether hosting an intimate leadership gathering or a world-class production, our team is uniquely positioned to deliver innovative, immersive events that exceed expectations, foster meaningful connections and create magical memories that attendees will talk about long after the event concludes.”
