1. Great location for Walt Disney World -20 min walk / boat ride to Epcot and Hollywood studios, bus ride to other parks; hard to go anywhere else without a car (parking is not included); good access to many restaurants in the Swan & Dolphin and nearby Boardwalk (although some only open for dinner - check ahead); 24h cafeteria-style dining option (a bit expensive); nice pools and sandy beach (some rusty nails found in the sand though.

2. We are fairly hard to please and cannot say how much we enjoyed our trip to the Dolphin and WDW.

3. The location of the Dolphin cannot be beat--the boat to Epcot and Hollywood Studios is super convenient, making it really hard to book a trip back without staying in that area.

4. There are plenty of channels on the tv to keep you occupied when needed(unless its raining hard then it goes out since it is satilite) My only complaints are the walls are kind of thin.

8. I can understand conference-goers who do not rate the Dolphin their favorite, but it is hard to imagine Disney-goers complaining.
