‘The Cove’ Hotel Construction Update at Swan and Dolphin Complex (August 2019)

    We made it out to the future site of The Cove, a new hotel that will join the Swan and Dolphin complex. The Cove plays off of the idea that the Dolphin acts like a mountain and the Swan hotel hosts swans that enjoyed the nearby lake. The Cove is an extension of the water theme already in place at the resorts.

    The Cove will feature over 20,000 square feet of meeting space. Some of which will be on the top floor of the resort, offering views of Epcot and Hollywood Studios. There will be 198 regular rooms and 151 suites. The restaurant will seat 75, with an additional support for 50 guests at the lounge and bar area.

    Here’s a look around the area as it is now. We were happy to see that some progress has been made towards new construction. Up until now, we had largely only seen demolition and land preparations.

    Here’s a look at the parking lot for the Fantasia Gardens mini golf, which remains open throughout the nearby construction.

    Walking towards the entrance to Fantasia Gardens, we are surrounded by construction walls.

    As we said earlier, Fantasia Gardens mini golf remains unaffected except for some noise pollution. If we were going to add some mini golf to our vacation, we would opt for Winter Summerland until the construction is done. The whole area is a bit of a mess right now and it doesn’t necessarily feel relaxing in its current state.

    You can see how close the construction walls are to one of the holes on the Fairways course.

    Taking a peek into the construction site, we can see that not much work has been done where the tennis courts use to sit.

    Where we really see some progress is over near the former Fantasia Gardens event space and parking lot.
