Disney world hotel but not really
Pltrav on Jun 27, 2025
The main benefit is the location of this resort . The hotel is tired and the maintenance is not enough to make it feel any less tired. The parking fee and the extra “hotel “ fee add up to almost $100 per night so be mindful if you are staying here over the Disney resorts due to price. The bus transportation to the parks is also not on par. The bus to will take you to the magic kingdom but will drop you off at the ticket center and not where all the Disney busses go , this will add an easy 30 minutes of travel for you to get to the kingdom. The room we had the bigger option as it was the family deluxe room and it was just fine but the furniture showed wear and there was no tub in the bathroom. So if you have little ones that might be an issue . The pool is a joke as you will find drunk adults thinking they are on trip to Cancun with their drinks in the pool or just plain eating nachos in the water. The pool is huge and that’s a plus but often feels over crowded . There are no lifeguards on duty and the one person on top of the water slide controlling the slide couldn’t be bothered to look up from her phone. If you need a place to sleep and go to the parks this is a great option but if you are used to the other deluxe Disney hotels this one misses the mark.
WDW Dolphin: Alcohol, Cigarettes and Mildew

Smells of mildew, alcohol and cigarettes. Pools are full of loud drinkers and the rooms are abysmal. Parking lot charges $38 a night and the lot was full, we were told to park at another resort. Daily amenities fee of $50 plus tax and LOUD construction going on wakes you up at 7am. Never again, not my tribe.
