Looked all over the site, and can't seem to find the "Make a Wish" information....

I quoted allears.net a few pages back. On the allears site, I found it in their monthly news section.

Thanks!
I found some info on another site, also. Now I just have to call to find out when to make the donation!

Can you make the donation when you check-in? How much do you need to donate? What are the possible prizes? Make a Wish is a great organization and I think it would be great to treat these struggling families to a Dolphin vacation!

I've tried to search this thread for the answer to this question, but just can't seem to find it . . . Are there towels at the pool or do you have to bring towels from your room or from home?

Thanks a bunch.

Plenty of towels at the pool, don't worry ........

Hi there,
They provide them right at the pool.
Can't miss it. It's a little hut, (not the bar,the other hut,lol) where you can purchase sunscreen, etc. We've been asked for room I.D. sometimes, and other times, not.

And when you're done, just drop them in the well marked big plastic bins.

Hope this helps...

On our last several trips they were asking for resort ID to get towels.

 

[Keokagal]

Sometimes ID sometimes not. They replaced the towels last year. They were getting a bit thin. Can't wait to have fun in that fabulous pool.

I just booked a room at the Swan for December.

I wanted to call back with a few room requests? Any suggestions on locations (floor, location, etc.)?

Thanks!

Another question..

If the price of my dates went down, could I call and get the cheaper rates?

I would try. If you can't get all the nights you have a ressie for, at least you might get some of the nights discounted!----I know someone who did this!

I called and got my rate discounted after a promo came out after I booked. This was last spring. Definitely worth asking.

 

[BubblPopElectrc]

OK, great. I'll keep a lookout for any discounts that may come up.

Another question in addition to my others..

How are the busses? Are they often packed? I hate having to stand up after a look day at the parks.

 

[Mazzy]

We have never found the buses packed at the dolphin, there seem to be far less people using them than say, at POFQ. Probably due to conference guests. We stayed at the Dolphin over Xmas/New Year and even then managed to get a seat, maybe we were lucky with out timing but we have never had a problem with the buses for the dolphin.

The only "problem" we encountered with the buses was the extremely long wait for Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island. This June, I think we will take a taxi that evening instead. Otherwise, the buses were fine and the water launches to MGM and EPCOT are great!

 

[BubblPopElectrc]

OK, thanks! Hopefully I'll have the same luck.
