    The venue's position was central. I stayed in the room that was upgraded to a balcony and available with the bar and a fireworks view, for instance.

    The fried oysters at The Dolphin were straight-up divine, like a taste of heaven in each bite. The culinary adventure continued with top-notch dining facilities and breathtaking views of Epcot right from your room—it's like having the park at your fingertips!

    The intermittent Wi-Fi and satellite TV glitches were minor hiccups in an otherwise magical stay.

    During my transit in Lake Buena Vista, I stayed at the Walt Disney World Dolphin. The hotel's proximity to Orlando International, only 35 km away, made it a convenient stopover during my travels. The variety of dining options and the well-equipped health club made for a pleasant and convenient stay.

    I found the layout of the hotel to be a bit inconvenient, as my room was located a considerable distance from the elevators, requiring a long walk through narrow halls.

    I found the dining experience at this resort to be top-notch. From the unique coastal cuisine to the fragrant wood-fired pizzas, every meal was a delight. The cocktails under the glittering chandelier were a highlight, and the ice cream fountain was a fun place to grab a sweet treat. The in-room lounge area was perfect for family gatherings. Plus, free parking made it easy to explore the nearby theme parks. Can't wait to go back and experience it all over again!

    Great location! Walk to the Boardwalk or catch a boat to Disney. Good food and drink options. Front Desk, Restaurant, and Bar staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed having a sister hotel with additional amenities. The room was small but comfortable; got a nice view of Magic Kingdom fireworks. Walking distance to parks and convenient water taxi service. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The elevator was fast despite a convention. The spa and wellness facilities, outdoor swimming pool, and entertainment options added to the relaxation. Nearby landmarks like Disney Hollywood Studios and Epcot sparked exciting family outings and memorable bonding experiences.

    Our room with new carpet and paint was spotless and huge. The location was great and fab, just off all the parks, free boat ride, Boardwalk, both Epcot and Hollywood studios, and the restaurants or the grab and go places like “ fuel ”, in a really cool area. There was a lobby restaurant nearby.

    They served very very bad breakfast, it can be way much better.
