Which one CSR or Dolphin

What would your choice be?
Can't decide, please help.

I've stayed at both, and I would choose the Dolphin without question.

The Dolphin is a deluxe resort while CSR is a moderate, and this is evident in many ways. The rooms at the Dolphin (especially the beds) are much nicer, and we've never heard any noise from neighbors at either the Swan or the Dolphin, but we could hear every sound our neighbors made at CSR.

Another major factor is location. You just can't beat the location of the Dolphin. CSR is also much more spread out, and you have to take buses to all the parks. At the Dolphin you can either walk or take a boat to Epcot and MGM. Plus, the Dolphin is right beside the Boardwalk area and Fantasia Gardens mini golf, offering you many additional entertainment options.

The restaurant selections are also much better at the Dolphin. Not only do you have the great restaurants in the Dolphin and the Swan right next door, you also have all the Boardwalk, as well as Yacht and Beach Club, restaurants next door.

Both resorts have great pools, but we actually prefer the grotto pool at the Dolphin, and it is much less noisy and crowded than the dig site pool at CSR.

CSR all the way for me, no question.

Another vote for Dolphin, for the location, heavenly beds, grotto pool, and deluxe service (concierage desk in the lobby will make restaurant PS's for you, even if you aren't staying on the concierage level). If you are able to get a good price at the Swan or Dolphin, GO FOR IT. The discounts are getting harder to come by. CSR looks nice, but it's a moderate. I'd save it for a trip when you can't get a Swan/Dolphin discount.

I am leaning towards the Dolphin. Since it is a deluxe and I really want to be pampered ... the beds really entice me. I have the AAA discount ($169.50) which is still a lot but if it is everything you say I'm going for it!

I LOVE the Swan and Dolphin!! It has absolutely the best location, location, location...and those heavenly beds...love them!

I've also stayed at both CSR and the Dolphin and would go with the Dolphin in a heartbeat!
