There are also other food/entertainment venues that don't accept Disney Gift/Rewards cards as forms of payment. Rainforest Cafe, Jellyrolls and the Richard Petty Driving Experience come to mind.

I was just confused since you can book dining and hotel reservations through the disney site. I thought perhaps there was an agreement of sorts.

I've just booked my first stay at the Dolphin! I'm going to be there 9/19-9/23. It was a very last minute trip, so I'm very excited. I got a great AAA rate of $135.20/night, so I just had to grab it. Thanks for all your hard work on the FAQs on the first page, it answered a lot my questions!

Any word yet on when the refurb will happen? Thinking of booking for a week in mid-April, but won't if the pool is down.

![]() Seriously, pure spectulation on my part, but it would make sense to do it in January, when occupancy is a tad lower, and the temperatures can often be too cool to use the pool anyway. April is the kick off to high season, with better weather and more people. Cheers,

DH and I had been wishy-washy about whether to stay at BWI or the Dolphin from Oct. 23-28 (we had reservations for both). BWI just ended up being too expensive, and the Gartner Symposium basically meant no discounts for the first two nights of our trip because everything is booked up. Even the discounts that we could've gotten weren't great. So, today I cancelled our BWI ressie. We're officially staying at the Dolphin! I got a great government rate quite a few months ago (I work for local govt.). We have a room with a king-size bed. Still have to book our airport transportation...thinking of going with Tiffany Towncar since I've seen it recommended here. I know the convention is basically headquartered at the Dolphin, so I hope it's not too busy. Either way, I'm super-psyched about our trip. F&W 2012!

I'm in the same predicament as u. I have a BWI ressie as well as a Dolphin ressie. Still trying to get a discount for BWI but I'm going during Jersey week and discounts seem hard to come by. I will cancel our BWI ressie soon I guess...
