[quote=Anonymous]Just got back from a stay at the Dolphin, which as a PP said, is a Sheraton right next to the Swan (Westin).  The first time we took our kids there, we stayed at the Contemporary.  That was a very expensive hotel, and what we found was that it was way quicker to walk to the MK rather than take the monorail. IIRC, the monorail going to MK actually takes you several stops at other hotels first, so it's like a 20 min trip to get to MK as opposed to 10 mins of walking. I think the Contemporary is the first stop going back from MK, but obviously you have to wait in a line.

The Dolphin was nice in that it did allow you to make fast pass reservations 90 days out, but because it's not a Disney hotel, you don't get the free Magical Express bus to/from the airport and you don't get charging privileges on your Magic Band.  We booked a car from Orlando Limo and were happy with them. They did a stop at a grocery store so we were able to get perishables for breakfast.

One of the benefits of staying at a Disney property is the extra Magic hours.  Since our kids were younger, we didn't take advantage of them, so I don't know if magic hours would be a deciding factor for us.[/quote]
