Am I better off with this dolphin teacher discount than this discount at a moderate?

Another vote for the Dolphin! We stayed there for the first time this past September...gov't rate....and I too was very nervous that it wouldn't "feel like Disney". We absolutely LOVED IT!!!!!!! There was nothing better than just being able to stroll around and hit all those areas: Boardwalk, YC/BC, EPCOT! And at night....looking out your window to see it all lit up.....it was just {sigh} beautiful.

No, the hotel is not Disney themed, but you know what? Only the All Star Movies really has in-your-face, 24/7, all-out Disney theming. The Dolphin has a beautiful atrium/lobby and beach theme/colors throughout the hallways and rooms. The door to the room is painted to look like the door of an old-time beach cabana. The Grotto Pool was wonderful and my kids loved playing behind and under the waterfall.

We found the employees to be every bit as nice, helpful, and informative as any CM. We even had an extended conversation with one of the Concierge who told us lots of inside scoop about the whole Epcot area during it's initial development and construction.

I will say we did miss having a food court for those quick snacks and meals....Tubby's did nothing for us.

I just can't say enough good things about the Dolphin. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
