We love staying at the Dolphin because of the location. Being able to walk to Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and the Boardwalk are awesome! We wish the hotel had a little more Disney magic and the hallways and rooms could use a refresh, especially the hall carpets, even our kids noticed!

Pros: Nice motel style rooms in the Wyndham Garden. Classed as a Disney Hotel, so it brings the perks and benefits (early entry). Cons: $28 resort fee nightly.
