It looks great - we are staying there for one night for easy walking access to EPCOT (drinking around the world), could you tell me how long it takes to walk there? Thanks

"Drinking around the World"... what a great idea
We are staying here for a couple of nights at the start of the trip and have been informed that it's a 10-15 minute stroll from the Dolphin via the Beach Club or Boardwalk to the International Gateway (back door) of EPCOT. ...although it may be a bit of a longer stagger back ! (better take the boat) |

We have booked a 'standard' room for our 2 night stay at the Dolphin in a couple of weeks... what are the chances of requesting (and getting) a room with a view of Disney.
Which part of the hotel should I be requesting for the rooms with the best view? What is the best method of contacting the hotel to submit our room request? thanks |

can u use the DDP at this hotel? Doesn't the resort fee add up as well? We go for 3 weeks and have worked it out at around an extra $300!

You can request rooms but views and balconies are normally bookable in advance. Join their Starwood scheme and you might have more luck.
No you cannot use DDP at this hotel BUT the money you save on the cost more than makes up for it and it has some of the best restaurants and "fast food" on property. Walks are about 10 mins to Epcot and about 15 to Hollywood Studios but again, if you factor in the walk to a bus stop, the wait at that bus stop and then the journey its self its very quick. Its wonderfull going for a stroll in the morning sun too. Oh and when you leave on a busy night (like Xmas and New Year) there is nothing better than walking past all the transport queues and simply walking back to your room We LOVE the Dolphin and will choose it over all the Disney hotels for our next trip...whenever that might be.

We first stayed at the Swan in 2005 I think, and got a corner, two aspect room overlooking the bridge to Boardwalk, and with a fireworks view. That was a great room, but I think this was before they introduced the different rates for different views.
We've been back several times to Swan or Dolphin since, only paying for a standard room, but often got upgraded one level (either a better view or a balcony) with the Starwood membership. Never had a room like the first one though. Going back to the Dolphin at Xmas, and I am now Starwood gold, so I wonder if that will make any difference? Edited at 04:00 PM. |
