It really is a great resort! If you book in advance or during a slow time, I have seen pricing around the cost of some of the Disney moderate resorts. Plus it is viewed as a "Deluxe" and walking distance to two parks, AMAZING! Don't get me wrong I still love the Disney resorts, ALOT TOO!

Hi. Very much enjoyed this wonderful video. It was made better by it being a "family event". The Dolphin is our favorite hotel at WDW - we've stayed there 13 times, and the Swan once (Dolphin was full). Got started staying there in 2007 in the first of 7 IBM software conferences. We liked it so much we used the Dolphin for our non-conference visits (Epcot, some at Magic Kingdom). They did an excellent job in hosting large conferences (we had 3000-5000 attendees). They have always treated us great. And, because I have lifetime status with Marriott (Titanium), I always get an upgrade (twice to the Presidential Suite). My favorite rooms were in the east wing extension, overlooking the Crescent Lake area (our favorite part of WDW). We especially liked the rooms at the end of the extension, each with 2 balconies. Thanks for the video, will check your channel for more. God Bless!

Thank you so much for the comment! It really is such an incredible hotel/resort, and a great alternative to the "on property" resorts. The size is impressive for sure, esp for conferences. I am waiting for the day my company decides to take us there! We actually are having our conference at Wyndham in Bennett Creek this year - I am VERY excited to check that out, and review it as well. The upgrades sound AMAZING. I will look into the Marriott Titanium, that sounds very beneficial. Be sure to subscribe, and check out our other reviews as they come along! Have a great evening and week!

@@Holleywoodstudios RE: Titanium Level Apparently, that was a one-time level given when Marriott bought Sheraton. The highest level now is Platinum, probably with the same perks. Hope you have a blessed conference at Bonnett Creek. Will look forward to see your review. God Bless to you and your precious family!
