Hello All

My family and I will be staying at the Dolphin for the first time in June and I have a question. I know there are boats to take you to Epcot, but if they dock at the International Gateway how do you enter the park, as World Showcase does not open until 11:00 am? I know that Future World will be opening at 9 am when we are there, can you just walk to FW from the boat dock?
Thanks

Great Pics of the W Times Square. Ultra-mod with nice flair~! How's the view at night? Anything special to report...?

The views were just fine DF - - I continue to be amazed at this city from high above it all! So many "yellow" cars down there - LOL. I was on the 16th floor, but those views, I'll bet, are even sweeter on the top floors. Our NY office is on the 37th floor and you can literally see forever!!! Nothing extraordinary to report this time around except the discovery of those Shula's steaks! .

Ddawg and Kelli: Happy to have helped a bit. Have a wonderful time and I'm certain you'll enjoy this hotel.

Enjoy the weekend folks!

Though the World Showcase does not "open" until 11, you can walk through it on your way to Future World. In Jan. when we were there, I think the posted opening for WS was 11, but several of the eateries were open at 9-10...You will adore being able to enter through the "back gate." It is unbelievable

Hi everyone! Since someone just asked a question about Epcot, I have another for you. Does the early Magic Hour apply to Future World, World Showcase, or both?

(Three weeks until we depart for the Swan! Can't wait!)

Athena ~ EE applies to Future World only.

bigsis ~ You are most welcome.

DF ~ ditto for me in tidying up and organizing the room / thank goodness the S/D does not provide a vacuum cleaner along with hair dryer, ironing board and iron. We would be in trouble!

 

[dreamflight99]

Mouseteacher....LOL! Maybe a "feather~duster" would be a nice "homey" touch!! We are terrible, eh? I still "tidy" the pillows on the sofa before we leave the suite...make sure the towels are all in one place (to be cleaned), and the counters are clean, dry & neat. Tsk~Tsk...Old habits never die, they just follow you on vacation!

Does anyone know if there are alternatives available from mousekeeping for the Oatmeal soap? Should I just pack my own from home?

thanks

Just future world.

Too funny!

...tell you what: I'll ship a couple of bars of "regular soap" to S/D in your name and you can send ME the Oatmeal soap. Deal????

Greetings all. Have 2 questions about the Jr. Suites at the Dolphin that I am trying to gain enough SPG points for. Are there any of the Jr. Suites located on the the Club Level and/or are they located on any specific floors/locations? And, what size bed is the pull-down/Murphy bed? Have had two different answers on this and just wanted to be sure.

THANKS!

Some of the new Swan pictures show blue carpet, chair seats, etc. and some show an orangy/red scheme. Both are beautiful I just wondered is one club floor or is it both throughout the resort?

RobMax.......have a wonderful time......and you got your counter back just in time!
