missingWrote a review on 10 Decfantastic locationbeach resort poolfriendly staffslow check-inhousekeeping issueheating problem
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.

missingWrote a review on 02 Decexcellent poolgreat locationparking fees
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.

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.

The final verdict on this
Fantastic pool days and access to Disney parks made our stay memorable. Room amenities included complimentary Dasani water. The location was ideal with water taxi services to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios! we faced slow check-in and occasional noise disturbances. Still, I’d recommend it for Disney lovers seeking convenience.
