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

kevincobbsr (New Jersey) on Jan 28, 2026

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.
