Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin starts its own dining plan

One of the attractions of staying on Disney property is the use of the Disney Dining plan. That works everywhere except if you stay at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.

Now, the Swan and Dolphin have instituted its own dining program called the Dining Passport Program. The two resorts have 17 different restaurants and lounges, ranging from formal dining to a 24-hour self-service buffet to a poolside café.
