What’s that tall, modern building off in the distance? It’s the Swan Reserve hotel! The new hotel is located next to the Swan and Dolphin Resort near EPCOT, and we can’t WAIT for the grand opening.

The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
During our visit to the Swan and Dolphin hotel for the Food & Wine Classic event, we got to check out the Swan Reserve hotel. While we were visiting the new hotel, we had a STUNNING view we HAD to share! Is this a new favorite firework viewing location? You decide!
This was our view from (creatively named) The Vue! This rooftop venue gives you an ultra-wide look at Disney World from above, complete with FIREWORKS!
While there are plenty of places to see the fireworks in Magic Kingdom, there aren’t as many clear views of the EPCOT Harmonious fireworks.
Not only that, but you can see Spaceship Earth all lit up for its beacon look, too!
While a picture is worth a thousand words, we figured we’d fill in some of the gaps with some videos!
🤩 WOW 🤩 The view from “The Vue”, the rooftop venue at the Swan Reserve is AHHHHMAZING (media event) pic.twitter.com/eREoNrC9bK

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media event for fireworks on top of the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
