Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort

Pros: so close to the boardwalk and Epcot! We loved walking to the park and back to the hotel. We stopped and ate, watched entertainment, and had so much fun. It was such a vibe! The hotel is old but the lobby is beautiful. We loved hanging out and exploring. Cons: the walls are thin and our neighbors were screaming in Spanish nonstop from 6am on. Our room 6160 had zero hot water either day we showered. None! Parking is a scam. Valet is a separate company and try to get you to park at the Swan or use them even though there are spots at the Dolphin! We had the hotel manager fight it out with them on the phone and ended up being able to park on site. Absolute scam artists. They don't tell you parking is $36 extra per day. They also double charged the $45/day resort fee we already paid through the booking company, so we'll have to fight that out. Drinks are good but prices are insane. $9 for a kid's Good to Grow 6 oz drink. Triple grocery store price. Old fashioned $17, bottled craft beer $12. Insanity. And on top of it, the buses were only available at the Swan due to a convention. Crazy overpriced for the weekend amenities. Overall, it wasn't worth it and we definitely won't be back.

Good location. Room was a good size and clean. Parking is currently a pain. Main parking for the dolphin is closed and you need to park at the swan. We were told there was a shuttle. No shuttle actually running and or has other job tasks. Poor communication. The walk wasn’t bad but for someone that might have health issues, small children and a lot of luggage it could be a pain.

The location is the best thing this place has going for it. The rooms and hallways smell very musty, dirty, and old. This hotel is definitely no 4 star hotel it can barely pass for a 3 star. The valet is the best option for you since they over charge self parking at $36 dollars a night and you still have a long walk. The food spots are over priced especially for the convenient food spot called “fuel”. The water taxi was the best activity this place has to offer and the convenient location.

Other than the check in process for elite platinum members, which was a little rocky, everything was terrific. They were so kind and accommodating. There are multiple choices for food. Fuel has food and drink and froyo. If you want a quick dole whip look no further! A big shout out to the housekeeping staff! What a hard-working bunch! The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable.

Very nice hotel, close to Disney’s many parks (walkable distance). Transportation shuttles are also very convenient. Just maybe having a schedule from the parks’ stops then it’d be perfect. Hotel room was great, bright, clean and spacious enough. Many restaurants within the Dolphin and even some more across to the Swan. There are also pools and other facilities to enjoy in between the visit to the parks. Also, the hotel is surprisingly quiet even though I see a lot of kids running around ! I had a very pleasant experience at the Dolphin hotel.
