The stay was comfortably smooth with efficient check-in and well-prepared rooms. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, providing a restful night. The resort's beautiful décor combined elements of nostalgia and modernity, making for a pleasant atmosphere. The dining experiences at The Fountain and Garden Grove were outstanding, offering excellent service and quality food.

High parking and resort fees may deter future visits for longer stay durations.

Unique dining experiences available

I had a decent time at the Walt Disney World Dolphin during my visit. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Epcot and easy boat transportation to Hollywood Studios. The pool area feels like a beach resort with plenty of lounge chairs. My room offered a nice view, which I really appreciated. The staff members were always ready to assist, making my experience smoother. Unfortunately, I faced issues with housekeeping. Daily service wasn't provided, which was disappointing. Check-in took longer than expected, and it would have been nice to have the room ready earlier. I also struggled with inconsistent heating in my room, which made it uncomfortable at times. Dining options on-site were varied but limited. I hoped for more choices. Overall, the amenities are good, but some improvements in service and room conditions would enhance the stay.

i had a lovely stay at the dolphin, which exceeded my expectations compared to previous visits. the water taxi access to epcot and hollywood studios was super convenient, and the pool area was stunning. the dining options nearby were fantastic and added variety to our experience.

the bathroom layout was too cramped.

The proximity to Epcot and Disney's Boardwalk offers a sweet advantage for foot traffic and views. The pool area mimics a beach vibe, perfect for relaxing after park days, with plenty of lounge chairs for all your sunbathing needs.

Parking fees feel unnecessary given the vast land available. Expecting more room in the traditional double beds came up short. they're closer to full size than the advertised queen. A lack of maintenance in some areas, like peeling wallpaper and dirty corners, detracted from an otherwise decent setup. The smart TV malfunctioned for an entire week, making movie nights a bust, and the public Disney transportation can drop you off further away than expected, which was less convenient than I anticipated.

Great place with an amazing location, just a short walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Love the heated pools and the fun beach vibe around them. My room was clean with a comfy sofa bed, air conditioning, and a nice flat-screen TV. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The dining options were diverse with impressive seafood dishes. Also, enjoyed the outdoor spa facilities.

Absolutely loved my stay at Walt Disney World Dolphin! The location is fantastic, just a short walk to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The heated pools were a hit, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a delightful night’s sleep.

One downside was the limited dining options nearby.

The Dolphin offered a pool area that felt like a mini water park, complete with slides and cabanas—perfect for making a splash after a day at the parks! The dining options were impressively diverse, from quick snacks to sit-down feasts that could inspire a food lover's dream. Not to mention, the staff was as friendly as a golden retriever at a petting zoo, always ready to assist with a smile.

The location is perfect, just a quick boat ride to the parks. The room was spacious and clean, featuring a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a roll-in shower, and convenient amenities like a coffee machine and a refrigerator. Enjoyed the pool area, which felt like a mini waterpark, perfect for kids and adults alike.

The pools are AMAZING! So many options for kids and plenty of seating. Our room was a bit dated and check-in was frustrating, but worth it for those pool days! 🏖️

I absolutely loved my stay! The multi-pool area was a dream, with a beach vibe and plenty of lounge chairs for relaxation. Plus, the convenient boat access to the parks made every adventure feel effortless and fun!

Would recommend 💖✨

The warm lighting and elegant decor in the lobby created a welcoming atmosphere, while the spacious pathways made it easy to navigate, ensuring comfort for seniors like myself throughout my stay.

More comfortable seating in common areas would be ideal.

The room was spacious and comfy, with a really nice view of the lagoon. We slept great on the super comfy beds – felt like a dream, especially after long park days. Having a balcony was a nice touch, and we caught some cool fireworks from there. However, the decor felt a bit dated, and the air conditioning was inconsistent.

The pool area is fantastic with multiple heated pools and fun activities for families. Room cleaning was inconsistent, leading to some discomfort during the stay. Close access to Epcot via boat makes park visits super easy.

The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance to popular parks, making it a great choice for families. there were issues with cleanliness, as our room had dirt behind the bathroom door and the air conditioning was quite loud in the hallways. the staff were friendly, which added to a pleasant experience amidst the challenges.
