Thanks, the price was almost the same.

I'm actually surprised to hear that, but I have an AP and don't look at package prices.

If I'm not interested in the actual balcony, is there a reason to pay the extra for a Deluxe Resort View room? ie, is there anything better about the room, or the view, compared to the "regular" Resort View rooms?

Resort view last time got us a partially blocked view of the parking lot

Did you bring to staff's attention?

We were upgraded from a base room so we prioritized the extra space over the view

Booking my first Dolphin stay!

We also booked for the first time at the Dolphin, going in May!! We have been to Disney 25+years and have stayed at all of the Disney resort, except for the G.F. It was to girly for our boys. but what a beautiful resort. Well Disney is forcing us with their high prices to go elsewhere. We love the Epcot area and thought why not... lets stay at the Dolphin and Iam sure we will not regret it. And we also have a great AAA rate too!

We are at Dolphin and the bed is not very comfortable (imo). The mattress says it's a Beautyrest made exclusively for Sheraton hotels. Is that what the famed Heavenly bed is supposed to be?

My stats with the Heavenly have been quite heavenly. If you are staying much longer, more than a day or two, maybe ask housekeeping to swap out a new mattress.

I wish I was there now.

We are here just 2 more nights. I asked at the front desk if all the beds in the rooms were the same and she said yes and didn't offer any other solutions

Ask for the manager. I'm confident that they have new, unused mattresses.

Aren’t the heavenly mattresses only at the Westin branded hotels like the Swan? I’m not sure if they’re at the Dolphin.

The website says the Heavenly beds are available at all 3 resorts (Swan, Swan Reserve, Dolphin) under the accommodations tab...https://swandolphin.com/accommodations/traditional-room/

I have always been under the impression that the HB's have been at both resorts.

QQ - booked a stay at Dolphin starting 3/6 with a flight arriving 12:30am 3/7. What's the best way to let them know we're arriving so late?

Call the hotel directly

For those of you who have stayed at the Swan or Dolphin recently, what's been a typical time you could get access to your room on the first day? My sister is debating staying there, but ideally needs access to the room by 2pm on the first day. I know there are no guarantees, but wondering if it's not typical to get access to your room that early. It would be a Thursday in March.

First time staying at the Dolphin, 3/8 - 3/11, first trip without kids! We will be moving to a different hotel for a softball tournament on 3/11 - checkout is at 11 but check-in at the new hotel is at 4. Will we be able to stay at the pool area and possibly do laundry after checking out?
