I am so excited we just booked 6 nights at the Dolphin for 12/26-1/1!! Have never been to Disney during the holidays so we are excited to see everything at the parks & in the hotels...just mentally preparing ourselves for the crowds. We have only been able to get a few ADRs, but I am going to keep trying everyday especially when we are down there...
We were going to stay at the CBR, but then I ran the numbers with our Starwood & Amex points. Then I bought extra starwood points for 20% off to get us to the 55,000 we needed for 6 nights and it is only costing us $700 over the week of XMas & New Years!!!
I think that hands down the Dolphin is a nicer hotel than any of the moderate resorts. We stayed there this past April over Easter break and really enjoyed the hotel...it is large, but the amenities are great and you really can't beat the location over the moderates! It is so nice being on the boat launch to 2 parks plus being able to walk over to Epcot is fabulous when you need to get out with a screaming baby over the fireworks!
Thanks RachelTori for the info on Facebook! I have been a fan of their page, but this posting didn't show up in my newsfeed...I am curious to know what the little treat is!!
