room types at Dolphin

[LynnMN]

Hi All,
I have been reading these boards for a few days. Great Information!!!

We (DH, DD, and DS) are planning our first trip to Disney in June and I am thinking of booking a room at the Dolphin as it seems to have the best rates for a deluxe hotel via Dreams Unliminted. Can someone explain to me what the differances are between the "Lake View" and "Resort View" rooms? I can't find any information telling the differance anywhere.

I am assuming that a "standard view" gives you a wonderful view of the parking lots?

Also does anyone know if the "Lake View" and "Resort View" are available on the club level?

thanks everyone...

From Glo's FAQ:




Lake View rooms are mostly between the "fingers" of the building, with view of Crescent lake area, but a limited view due to the building. The Resort view rooms are more of a "wide open" view, with the possibility of view of the white sandy beach area, pools, or even Epcot. Standard rooms we describe as "non designated view", and most are on the wooded side or parking lot areas. The Swan "standard views" tend to have a bit better view (MGM ,TOT)than the Dolphin due to location. Front of either hotel is "Standard" views. Hope this helps people a little more!

Here is the lake view we had from our balcony at the Swan last April--you can see part of the sandy beach area at the Grotto Pool as well;

Here is the resort view (and Epcot view) we had from our balcony at the Dolphin in February this year--great location for watching the fireworks from Illuminations;
