    We were going to get connecting rooms at the dolphin, but the agent suggested a suite instead. It was cheaper, only 1 resort fee instead of 2. The room has a bedroom with king size bed, living area with pullout sofa, dining table and chairs and a king size Murphy bed with 2 bathrooms. I don't...

    Anyone rent a car on Disney Property?

    One year we stayed at POFQ and rented a car from the dolphin. We just hopped on a bus to DHS and took the boat to Dolphin. We did the same in reverse when we returned the car. Since you are staying at BWV, it makes it even easier. It was a very simple process.

    I need the skinny on the swan/dolphin!

    We stayed at the Dolphin in 2012 and it worked out great for us. Looking back at my bill, I did notice the resort fee has gone up quite a bit. The difference this time (which I preferred) was that the resort fee was included in total hotel rate including taxes. So my deposit was inclusive of...

    Splitting larger family between two rooms...

    I was also told that my rooms (2 adults, 3 kids, 2 rooms) were guaranteed connecting because of the way the reservation was booked. Three different agents told me this (could not make up my mind about where I wanted to stay). I'm not sure if this is something new they re saying because I was...

    Impressions from 3 (2) nights at Cabana Bay

    Wow, they did seem to drop the ball on that one. I had a similar experience at the HRH a couple of years ago, except I did not have to move from the resort. Although the manager at the HRH really took care us, and I wasn't expecting any compensation. They ended up moving us twice, but the last...

    We just switched to a balanced calendar (year round school) in my district and we now have a fall break the last week of October. Many other districts in Michigan who have switched to a balanced calendar have a fall break sometime near the end of October.
