Insider tips

Dolphin Hotel consists of a 27-story main building and tower and 4 nine story wings. Two 56 foot Dolphin fountains rest atop the hotel. The guest rooms feature either one king-size bed or two double beds. The bathroom is spacious with a separate vanity area.

The Dolphin and Swan share a beautiful swimming complex - the Grotto - a 3 acre water playground complete with waterfalls, water slides, water volleyball, and hot tubs. You can also find one lap pool located near the Dolphin and another lap pool near the Swan. Tropical foliage surrounds the Grotto area, and the white sand beach nearby make it a perfect place to relax or have fun.

Disney vacations

The least crowded time to visit is from Labor Day to Thanksgiving and from the week after President's Day (mid-February) to the start of Spring Break (mid-March).

You can definitely make the most of your vacation by staying at one of the Disney World hotels. If you do, you will enjoy special benefits such as Magic Hours, discounts at six Disney World golf courses, and Walt Disney World quality and service.

But if you choose to stay at one of the many hotels near Disney World, you can still visit all of the Disney properties to enjoy the atmosphere, have a meal, or shop. You may be charged for parking, but you can get validated for up to one hour of parking for each $10 you spend while you're there.

Some of the lesser known deluxe priced resorts include Walt Disney's Beach Club, BoardWalk Inn , Contemporary and the Yacht Club hotels.

Disney sells theme park tickets on their website, but you can not print the tickets, meaning you must order early and have the tickets mailed to you. You can also buy tickets through your local auto club, Disney Store or through a school or work activities office. Many offsite hotels also sell Disney passports at the front desk.

I suggest researching Disney ticket prices in advance, and buy your pass before you get to the park. No sense wasting the first hour waiting in line at the ticket booth.
