Clean and close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios
The buses to the parks are not reliable as far as time and stop at both the Swan and swan reserve so there may not be room after waiting 30 plus minutes. Make other plans. I love the property but will not be staying again b/c of parking. The lot was full on more than one occasion as I could see many open spots blocked off by valet. Was told valet is a third party company. After speaking to valet the man looked at me and said you can valet for $16 more or try the swan and swan reserve and walk. I have spent way too much money to stay at a deluxe hotel not to have parking. Therefore, sadly this will be the last time we stay here.

Just an average hotel. Nothing outstanding. Nothing terrible.
Far from Magic Kingdom. Take an Uber as the buses are infrequent. We never saw one.
Excellent location for Epcot, comfy beds, lovely pool with waterslide which our son enjoyed. You can grab most things you need from Fuel - they had great coffee and salads. We loved being able to take the boat to Epcot and wandering around the Boardwalk was beautiful.
Just be aware this is a HUGE resort and very busy. The main pool is quite a long walk away from the Dolphin.
