Hi there, Adelaide! Welcome to planDisney - so glad you found us! It's my pleasure to lend a helping hand to make sure your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is smooth sailing. I see that you'll be arriving this very weekend, so let's get right to it!
The
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and its sister resort, the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, are such great options for a stay at The Most Magical Place on Earth. These resorts have terrific pools and restaurants, and are a practically perfect location for Guests attending the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. The International Gateway entrance to EPCOT is just a short walk away so you can come and go throughout the day for a midday swim or a wardrobe change!
Adelaide, I'm happy to report that your later arrival time won't be an issue. If you book a room at the Dolphin for this weekend, you can use the
Online Check-In feature in the
My Disney Experience app and notify the resort of your anticipated arrival time (however, the direct to room feature is not available for the Dolphin and Swan). I'm actually coming to Walt Disney World this week myself and won't be arriving until after midnight - I used this option to note this late check-in. If you're at all concerned and want to be totally sure that the message has been received, you can also
call the resort so they are aware of when you'll be expected.
You are going to have the most incredible time at the festival! Be sure to spend some time researching the delicious bites available so you can plan your strategy for your visit. I hope you have a wonderful visit and get to sample all the treats and enjoy the sounds of the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney, Adelaide, and please come visit us again any time.
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
