Disney’s Dolphin Resort: think it’s just for business conventions? Time to ditch that misconception! This resort is a surprisingly solid pick for theme park enthusiasts, especially those who want Disney magic without the usual Disney price tag.
You’ll get a sweet location (hello, walking distance to Epcot!), comfy rooms way bigger than some of Disney’s other options, and a sprawling pool that’s perfect for unwinding after a day on your feet. Sure, it might not be the newest resort on the block, but you’ll still find modern touches and plenty of Disney charm.
