Dolphin hotel is the best
Kerry Z on Jan 29, 2026
To everyone looking to stay at the Disney hotels I absolutely want to tell you all that the dolphin hotel was the best time I ever had the last time I was here I stayed at the pop century and although it was ok this Dolphin hotel beats that by 100% the rooms are huge I went with my 19 yr old son and we had a 2 queen bed room and it was just perfect for us the service the foyer the shops the surrounding the feeling was unbelievable I didn’t want to leave I wanted to finish my next 3 weeks in America right there to get to the parks you can take boats ski lifts Disney buses you don’t have a thing to worry about just have fun at the parks we didn’t have fast track and we waited 80 minutes for a 3 minute ride but we figured out that you can purchase fast track rides individually for 35 US and it gives you 3 fast tracks per park which we loved and that was fantastic but next time I would definitely get the unlimited fast tracks because when you love the ride you just want to go again and again and you can’t do that on the 35 US ticket I researched extensively the hotel and the dolphin and swan were the best in price and best in quality hope this helps your decision I never give reviews but I just had to
Disney Dolphin Hotel Stay

This hotel entryways, restaurants and outdoor spaces are very nice, but the room needs a little work. The bathroom is very small and the shower needs to be updated. There is some visible damage to the shower door and opening it seem a little restricted. As a Marriott Ambassador Elite member I would have hoped to have at least gotten the fireworks view but they put us on the lake side.
BEWARE CRACKHEADS IN LAUNDRY ROOM
Michael P on Jan 27, 2026
Be careful. Literal crackhead sleeping in the laundry room. Multiple messages sent but of course Marriott uses AI, instead of humans, which cannot understand that a crackhead sleeping in the laundry room and harassing you upon waking is a problem. Certainly not what I expected on a Disney vacation. Recommend staying anywhere but here unless of course you are looking for someone to sell crack to.
Thanks Julia for great customer service

This was our first time staying at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort, and we absolutely loved it. One of the best parts of our stay was the easy access to the Disney theme parks, which made getting around incredibly convenient. We also really enjoyed the dining options—there are 12 different outlets to choose from! We tried two of them and were very impressed with the meals. The highlight of our stay was the outstanding service from the front desk agent, Julia. She was so warm and welcoming and surprised us with an upgraded room overlooking the Disney fireworks, which made our experience even more magical. We can’t wait to come back for another stay!
Our 4th stay at the Dolphin - and not the last

We came to the Dolphin again cause we had great experience in the past. Considering this is a Disney resort with millions of people visiting Orlando you don’t expect it to be so clean but it was. Cudos to everyone working there. Location is super convenient- you can take a boat ride to Epcot, Boardwalk or Hollywood studios or just walk. It’s safe location for walking around at night as it’s in the middle of everything. Shuttles to other Disney parks are right in the front. If you don’t want to pay for valet, entrance to self park is next entrance but….parking lot leads you that you can park right by the front almost at half the price and get to your car right away. Coming back again soon
