Walt
Disney World Dolphin Hotel****
Walt Disney World Dolphin offers
exotic architecture and an easy walk to Epcot®
Gargantuan
dolphins are beacons atop the
27-story, triangular resort across from its companion
hotel, the
Disney Swan, both a 15-minute walk
to Epcot®.
Pineapple-shaped
lamps, boldly colored bedspreads, and modern furniture
carry the hotel’s lighthearted, over-the-top
design into 1,509 guestrooms.
A health club
is located near the 3-acre grotto swimming pool,
and there’s a white-sand beach for sunning
on the waterfront, where boats can also be rented.
Award-winning Shula’s Steakhouse is tops
for dining.
 The
oversized, fantastical architecture - five-story
dolphins, giant banana leaves painted on the exterior,
cascading fountains—creates an ambience
of whimsy, but it’s whimsy with an overlay
of sophistication. The showy lobby rotunda is
10 stories high, with a central fountain, brightly
colored fabric creating an overhead canopy, and
artwork everywhere.
The
heated outdoor grotto pool with an adjacent
children’s playground is a popular spot
year-round, and the white-sand beach with pedalboats
and hydro-bikes offers more fun. There are six
on site restaurants, and guests have access to
all Disney restaurants through the hotel dining
reservation system.
Although the
Disney Dolphin is not owned
by Disney, guests can buy theme-park tickets in
the lobby—a great way to save time once
they get to the parks. And transportation to WDW
Resort via ferry or coach is free.
