This was our second stay at the Dolphin within six months. We had an amazing experience the first time and thought we'd stay there again. We experienced several service related issues the first day: no one at bell services to assist us with our luggage so we had to carry it all in with us all the way up the... More

Typical of a Westin property the Swan was clean, provided seamless service and easy access via boat to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Perhaps not as fun as some of the other Disney properties the facilities are great and the restaurant selections offer a number of nice options -- including character meals. We used our Starwood miles for a free stay,... More

We stayed at the Swan for 4 days during our stay in Florida. The hotel it's self is amazing. The ambiance is beautiful from the min you pull into the driveway. Ok so lets start there. If you want to park you need to pay 15 a day and the walk to the parking lot is pretty far because the... More

First, all other reviews call the rooms dated, how can I call it unforgettable? We got an upgrade and due to availability, got a room that apparently is normally not offered....so we were very pleased from that point of view I should also state that we came here to goto Disney world with our almost 3 year old daughter and...

I was able to get the Walt Disney Dolphin at a pretty good price on Hotels.com (compared to other Disney Resorts) during the time I requested. I was able to upgrade to a beautiful balcony room with a 'fire works' view of Epcot. The room was very clean and spacious It included a fridge in which we were able to... More

Just got back from attending a 3 night conference there, so other than one meal at the Fountain restaurant, a buffalo wing salad which was more than adequate, I can't really comment on the food. But the accommodations were feeling a bit dated. We were on the 15th floor, not facing the Swan hotel. We could see (but not hear)... More

This resort hotel is really close to Epcot. You can take a boat ride from the hotel over to the back entrance of Epcot. There are shuttle buses to the other attraction locations. The breakfast was really good. We ate our other meals in the park. There seemed to be a lot to do at the resort. Paddle boats, a... More

My spouse and toddler, and I stayed at the Dolphin resort on Walt Disney World property for a long weekend. The Dolphin and Swan are not part of Disney, but rather run by an outside hotelier. The hotel itself was in good condition, and the staff was at all times courteous and went out of their way to say hello,... More
