Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort

Kyle Kno

Absolutely a worthwhile resort to stay at for Walt Disney World! You get almost all the amazing benefits of staying at a Disney hotel as well as the Marriott benefits! It’s a great combination of both companies! Walking distance of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios and a short bus to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, they’ve been updated and feel very modern and clean. The walls are the little thin but wasn’t an issue when trying to sleep. For a Disney vacation it was definitely worth it!

Our room was spacious with a great view and our breakfast buffett was amazing. I would have given it a 5 star rating had the hotel not been so cold. Not just cold in the lobby but cold everywhere. They even had the AC blasting in the hallways and it was 45 degrees when left for Disney. If management sees this, save energy and make your guests happy by changing the setting on your air, no one wants to freeze the whole time they are outside of their rooms!

Lovely resort in great location if you love Epcot and enjoy Hollywood studios. Walking distance to skyline. Buses go from hotel. It's less Disney themed than other resorts but it is very nice, lovely atmosphere, and it has a proper coffee shop with cafe and some grocery options on site. You have a beach right there as well as pools, pool bars, a playground. There is also a launderette on site

Hotel is very nice but for the price, I felt it lacking in the luxury you'd expect at this price point. Beds were reasonably comfortable, pillows need replacing. The rugs are worn and dated. Rooms are a nice size, no microwave. The location is great for Epcot or Hollywood Studios. The resort fee is high and I did see what it provided for all the extra money. Wouldn't choose to stay again

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.
