A few Dolphin questions
 

Can you sleep 5 in a standard Dolphin room? I'm looking at a JetBlue deal that puts us in one, but from what I can see it's 2 double beds. Where does the 5th person sleep?

Is WDW transportation included with Dolphin (to/from parks)?

Does Magical Express go to Dolphin?

Thanks!

Sorry - I dont know about the 5. But I do know that you guests of the Swan and Dolphin cannot use Magical Express.

One of the things that has kept us from trying a stay at S/D is no ME.
It's a big deal to us price wise, and even though we know we're paying for ME, one way or another ( by staying at a DW resort), it's usually enough of a savings to change our decision.

they brought us a cot for the 5th person this summer.

there are busses to / from the parks from the Dolphin.

If you would rent a car, there is a 15.00 a day parking fee.

If you don't rent a car, do you take a taxi to and from?

Lots of people take either a town car service or the Mears shuttle. Town cars run in the neighborhood of $105 roundtrip, plus tip, which is a pretty good deal for a family. I believe Mears might be $35ish roundtrip, per person.

Even with the cost of round trip transportation to and from the airport, and the infamous room charge, a stay at the Dolphin in most cases is $100 per night less than the other EPCOT resorts most of the time.
