Thank you.

Did you book direct with Disney? I'm in the queue to speak to someone at Disney - hour and 40 mins listening to music already to see what my options are. That'll be the first thing I ask them when I eventually get through!

I think it's must be at/close to capacity for my dates as it's no longer available to book now!

I actually booked via BA (you can also just book hotels through BA). They had discounted rates at the time. Worth a look but the resort fee will get added when you arrive.

Thank you. I've booked direct with Disney and there was no mention of resort fees throughout the booking process but I will ask the question when I finally do get through. I've just been cut off after 2 hours so having to start again.

I believe most non-Disney owned hotels on property charge resort fees (probably to seem much cheaper in comparison). I think the Dolphin was $35 a night.

I finally got through and asked about resort fees - as I've booked the Dolphin direct with Disney they are included in the price.

There's not much onsite availability for a similar price to what I've paid - Pop is a bit cheaper and POR is a little bit more expensive. Any onsite deluxe is double what I'd paid. So I need to have a think - and talk to DD14 and DS12 and see what they think too.

We were really impressed when we stayed at both the Dolphin about 6 months ago. I know its difficult to "unsee" but dont let one bad review derail your plans...could have been any number of reasons why someone reviewed that way. I found it to be extremely clean- and we love the location!

I stayed at the Dolphin for 6 nights in November and we had a great experience. Our room was clean, we requested extra tissues and bottles of water a couple of times in the morning and they were always there by the time we returned from the parks. Location was amazing and the extra evening hours definitely made it worthwhile for us.

Hi, don't suppose if you know if the resort fees are also included in the Disney Springs partner hotels if you book through Disney? As you say, it doesn't seem to mention them at all during the booking process!

Hi, when I did a dummy booking for the B resort and Spa via the Disney it listed the resort fees in the breakdown for what you were paying for. It showed I think as part of the entire cost.

Hi, sorry I only asked about the Dolphin so I'm not sure about the DS Partner hotels.
