The Orlando Dolphin Resort is just A+. Bordering its fellow sister Starwood resort, the Swan, both of these two hotels tower over the Orlando skyline and have massive sculptures fixated in top of their hotel. The hotel has a grand lobby with a grand waterfall in the middle and is quite relaxing. Around the lobby are shops, restaurants, and elevators. Todd English hosts his famous restaurant, Bluezoo that features some of the state’s best surf and turf. The Shops have something for everyone. They offer items from Candy to Rolex Watches.

The Restaurants are some of the finest. Shulas Steakhouse has a very nice dining room. The Corral Cafe’ has a cool breakfast buffet with the Characters. The Dolphin Fountain offers quick snacks as well as nice dinner meals. Ice cream is also server at the Dolphin Fountain. Their transportation from the Swan and Dolphin to MGM Studios and EPCOT is great. They offer boat transportation. The rooms are huge. You can see the swan resort, as well at Epcot center, and many Disney MGM Studios attractions from your room view.

What is a Fastpass? The Fastpass was created by Disney so that its park guests do not have to wait forever in line for a specific ride. Not all rides have the Fastpass available but the more popular thrill rides accommodate. The only way you can get a Fastpass is when you go to a Fastpass Station by the ride entrance and use your park entrance ticket. You enter your ticket and you get a small pass and it will times on it like – “Enter Between 3:00 and 5:00pm”- Then you come back to the ride during those times and go to the Fastpass Return Entrance. You show the Cast Member the Fastpass and you walk to the front of the time with little or no wait.

If you don’t feel like waiting for the Fastpass, Universal Orlando offers something exactly like the Fastpass named the Universal Express Pass. The only difference of these two passes is that instead of standing in line like usual for both, you can purchase the Express pass booklet for $50 which includes all of the rides for the park and two tickets for each ride.
