These pictures were taken at the Swan/Dolphin pool area last July. It had been raining and finally cleared off. We had the whole place to ourselves. :)

I'm not sure if it's my scanner or what, but these pictures didn't come out very clear. Sorry. :(

These are several views of the grotto pool and waterfall.

Here's some of the beautiful landscaping that fills the entire area around the pools.

This was the view from our balcony at the Dolphin. Chelsea can't stand not getting into the picture somewhere. ;) Yes, that's her WWTBAM hat. :)

Hi I loved your pictures, I have never really seen a picture of the grotto pool area. That slide looks like fun. What floor were you on?

We were on the 5th floor on the east wing. I don't remember the exact room number, but the view was fantastic. :)

I hope your happy with yourself Lisa because you just cost me alot of money. We stayed at the Dolphin in August of 1999 and again in August of 2000. Absolutley loved it. We jsut came back from WDW 2 days ago (stayed off site). Although we liked our offsite hotel, it just wasn't the same as the Dolphin. Well now with seeing these pictures I JUST MUST GO BACK. I will be looking up availability for April & May and the Dolphin it will be. I hope you know I'm only kidding about the "happy with yourself" part. Instead, I should be thanking you. They are great pictures - thanks for sharing.

Lisa, your photos are so wonderful, and it's brought mixed feelings to me as we should have been at the Dolphin at Christmas/New Year but had to cancel due to sesamoiditis in my foot :(

BUT we have doubled up and are going THIS Xmas/New Year, hoping by then my foot problems will be sorted :)

Thanks so much for posting, lovely memories there for me of our last stay in May 99 :D

That was so nice of you to share your pool pictures! It's been years since we've been to the Dolphin and I actually forgot what a beautiful pool area this was. You've just made me look forward to our stay in 41 days even more! Thank you.

WOW! My daughter and I are even more excited about our stay coming up in May 03 at the Dolphin! Any suggestions on cool things we must do at the Swan or Dolph? It's only our 2nd trip to WDW.:)
