Gyors áttekintés: A convention hotel masquerading as a resort where you trade 'Disney magic' for a better mattress and a stiff drink.

Értékelte @lifeonpoints: I stayed here for a parks trip and the location is unbeatable. Walking to Epcot in minutes was a lifesaver, and waking up to that water view made every morning feel magical. The beds are incredibly comfy after a long day walking!

The hype

Unbeatable location for the price, but the rooms feel like a 2005 Sheraton while the lobby feels like a busy airport terminal.

Reality check

You will walk miles. The hotel is massive, and the trek from the lobby to the furthest 'fingers' of the wings can take 10+ minutes.

  • You prioritize location over theming
  • You are a Marriott Bonvoy elite member
  • You are attending a convention on-site

Tisztaság és karbantartás

6.5
  • Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service is standard, but attention to detail (dusting high spots, vacuuming edges) is often lacking in older rooms.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Functional but tired. Grout lines in older rooms show age; water pressure is good but drains can be slow.
  • Maintenance: Aging infrastructure. Reports of peeling wallpaper, scuffed furniture, and 'musty' AC units are common in non-renovated rooms.
  • Linens & towels: Standard Sheraton quality. Clean and crisp, but towels can feel small and thin compared to true luxury resorts.
  • Odors & scents: The lobby smells like signature white tea scent; older guest rooms often smell of humidity and stale air.

Foglalás előtt

Jó tudni

  • Guests get 'Early Theme Park Entry' and 'Extended Evening Hours' (usually a Deluxe resort perk).
  • Transportation to Magic Kingdom is by bus, but it drops off at the TTC (Ticket & Transportation Center), not the front gate—add 20 mins to your commute.
  • The 'Friendship Boats' to Epcot are slow; walking is often faster (15 mins).

Mit csomagoljak be

  • DampRid hanging bags (for the closet if you get a musty room)
  • Good walking shoes (the hallways are endless)

Szobagenie

Legjobb szobák

  • West Wing, high floor (closer to Grotto Pool and laundry)
  • Resort View with Balcony facing East (potential Epcot fireworks views)

Kerülendő szobák

  • East Wing low floors (risk of dumpster/loading dock views and noise)
  • Rooms near the central elevators (high foot traffic)

“Requesting a 'West Wing' room on a high floor for proximity to the pool and reduced noise. If available, a balcony facing the Boardwalk/Epcot would be appreciated.”

GYIK és rejtett tippek

Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.

Is it a real Disney hotel?

No. It's a Sheraton (Marriott), but it has official Disney perks like Early Entry and free transport.

Can I see fireworks from my room?

Yes, if you book a 'Resort View' facing East (Epcot) or North-East. Ask for a balcony to actually see them, otherwise it's just a window view.

Is the pool heated?

Yes, the Grotto Pool and lap pools are heated year-round.

Does it have free breakfast?

No. Breakfast is pricey (~$30 buffet). Platinum/Titanium Bonvoy members can choose continental breakfast as a welcome gift.

How bad is the resort fee?

It's ~$45/night and mandatory. It covers wifi, gym access, and two bottles of water. A total cash grab.

Can I walk to the parks?

Yes. Epcot is a 15-minute walk; Hollywood Studios is a 20-minute walk (or take the boat).

Insider tippek

  • ✨

    The laundry room is ONLY in the Dolphin (ground floor, West Wing). Swan guests have to walk over to use it.

  • ✨

    Picabu (24-hour cafeteria) has a 'secret' Mexican counter that serves surprisingly good tacos and bowls.

  • ✨

    Camp Dolphin is one of the only drop-off kids' clubs left on Disney property—book a spa treatment or nice dinner and get 2 hours free.

  • ✨

    The bridge connecting the Dolphin to the Boardwalk is the best secret spot to watch Epcot fireworks without a ticket.

5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt

  • 💡The 'West Wing' vs. 'East Wing' divide: West is convenient for the pool/laundry; East is a hike but has better fireworks potential.

  • 💡The Magic Kingdom bus drops you at the TTC (monorail station), not the front gate like Disney buses do. It's a huge pain.

  • 💡The elevators are incredibly fast but the logic system is confusing—you might wait while 3 full ones pass you.

  • 💡The 'Resort View' category is a gamble; it can mean a view of the beautiful pool or a view of the roof of the convention center.

  • 💡You can earn Marriott points on your room rate, but usually not on dining unless you charge it to the room.
