The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin announces it has broken ground on its latest expansion, an addition of 120,000 square feet of event space to its current meeting and convention floor plan.

Participating in the groundbreaking ceremony were executives from hotel owners Tishman Realty and MetLife as well as Marriott International and Walt Disney World.

In the first major expansion of the Walt Disney World Dolphin’s meeting space since 2003, a new two-story annex will be added to the hotel’s existing convention space, carrying the property’s original Michael Graves design as inspiration.

The expansion will bring the triplex’s total meeting space to 469,000 square feet between its three buildings, the Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve, to go with its 2,619 guest rooms making it one of the largest convention properties on the East Coast.

It is one part of an overall $275 million project that will also upgrade the meeting space in the Swan and Dolphin as well as all the guest rooms in the Swan.

The new convention space is expected to be completed in 2026.
