Walt Disney World Dolphin

The hotel is convenient, you can take a bus or boat to the park. However, there's a resort fee of about $60 a day, which I didn't notice when booking.

Traveling with a friend's family, we requested two connecting rooms. Our window overlooked the Swan Hotel, with the pier nestled between the two hotels. To get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, you take a boat, which is super convenient. Epcot is incredibly close; even without the boat, a 7-8 minute walk along the river gets you right to the entrance. The free Orlando gondola station is also right outside Epcot. It's a nice option for a leisurely ride in the evening. The gondola can also take you to Hollywood Studios, but it's not as convenient or quick as the boat. For Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, just head to the shuttle bus stop to the left of the hotel entrance. Each bus is clearly marked with the park's name, making it very straightforward. The hotel lobby has a dedicated Disney service desk for tickets and inquiries, which is really handy. The lobby itself is huge and features a bar that's always bustling with foreigners enjoying drinks and chatting. There's a supermarket on the first floor, but it's honestly not cheap. I bought some drinks, a few pieces of bread, and a vegetable salad for the kids, and it cost over 1000 RMB – haha! Every evening, around 9 PM, we'd set up a table, pour some baijiu, and watch the spectacular fireworks from Epcot on the left. Sometimes, Hollywood Studios on the right would join in with their own display. Drinking and watching, it was pure bliss. Ordering takeout with Uber Eats was also incredibly easy, with a user-friendly interface. A guy even delivered our food in a Mercedes – capitalism is truly decadent! Haha 😄

I've stayed at several hotels without encountering any overcharging or hidden fees, but this one charged me an extra $300+ and they're taking forever to refund it. Terrible experience. If you book this hotel, you absolutely need to monitor your bank statements closely, as overcharging and additional fees are a constant issue here.

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel's location is great for Epcot and Hollywood Studios; the water taxi gets you there quickly. There's also a shuttle bus right outside for Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. We initially planned on taking a taxi, but after seeing how frequent the water taxis and shuttle buses were, we ended up using those for most of our park trips.

Very good, no complaints. The air conditioning in the hallway at night was too cold, I was freezing, haha!

This hotel is super convenient for Epcot; you can just walk back after watching the fireworks. It's a very popular hotel, and staying here makes everything so easy.

The accessibility to the park is fantastic, and the environment was much cleaner and newer than I expected.
