Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort

Kyle Kno

Absolutely a worthwhile resort to stay at for Walt Disney World! You get almost all the amazing benefits of staying at a Disney hotel as well as the Marriott benefits! It’s a great combination of both companies! Walking distance of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios and a short bus to Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, they’ve been updated and feel very modern and clean. The walls are the little thin but wasn’t an issue when trying to sleep. For a Disney vacation it was definitely worth it!

Hotel is very nice but for the price, I felt it lacking in the luxury you'd expect at this price point. Beds were reasonably comfortable, pillows need replacing. The rugs are worn and dated. Rooms are a nice size, no microwave. The location is great for Epcot or Hollywood Studios. The resort fee is high and I did see what it provided for all the extra money. Wouldn't choose to stay again

Pros: so close to the boardwalk and Epcot! We loved walking to the park and back to the hotel. We stopped and ate, watched entertainment, and had so much fun. It was such a vibe! The hotel is old but the lobby is beautiful. We loved hanging out and exploring. Cons: the walls are thin and our neighbors were screaming in Spanish nonstop from 6am on. Our room 6160 had zero hot water either day we showered. None! Parking is a scam. Valet is a separate company and try to get you to park at the Swan or use them even though there are spots at the Dolphin! We had the hotel manager fight it out with them on the phone and ended up being able to park on site. Absolute scam artists. They don't tell you parking is $36 extra per day. They also double charged the $45/day resort fee we already paid through the booking company, so we'll have to fight that out. Drinks are good but prices are insane. $9 for a kid's Good to Grow 6 oz drink. Triple grocery store price. Old fashioned $17, bottled craft beer $12. Insanity. And on top of it, the buses were only available at the Swan due to a convention. Crazy overpriced for the weekend amenities. Overall, it wasn't worth it and we definitely won't be back.

Decent enough place if your sticking with Marriott. Was given slightly upgraded room, and breakfast vouchers for platinum status. This gives you 2x granola/yogurts, 2x coffee, 2x decent pastries at the convenience store FUEL adjacent to lobby, for quick breakfast. Free boats and buses to everything Disney. Head over to boardwalk hotel for better bus to MK, or AK.

I can’t believe Disney even tags their name to this hotel. If you’re used to staying at Disney resorts, this hotel will thoroughly disappoint and disgust you. It is absolutely gross. The carpets are filthy, the bathroom tiles are dirty, the room and hallways smell musty and moldy. The rooms are outdated and the overall feeling is dirty. Hair in the bathroom, sticky crap on the toilet seat. I layered the seat to use it because everything feels dirty. Thank God the sheets seemed clean. We didn’t shower or unpack our stuff. We Couldn’t wait to get the heck out asap. Never ever again. Disney should quickly disassociate with this place. Swan Reserve is the only one out of the Marriott Disney hotels that is worth your money IF you can’t find a Disney resort available. I wish I could get my money back. NEVER again
