Hey there Terryl! Boy, are we excited you decided to stop by planDisney. Those reward points are important to me too and can help get this ironed out for you.
When booking a stay at
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel through Disney direct. Unfortunately, those stays will not accumulate Marriot Bonvoy Rewards. I was unsure so I dialed the front desk and I got a wonderfully knowledgeable gentleman who was familiar with this question as it is one that he is asked almost daily.
You are going to have a wonderful stay and I just love that magic is just a couple of steps away. The best part for me is
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT are within walking distance. That means no need to board any transportation to get back to your room for what I deem as necessary mid-day breaks. Or even at the end of the night when the masses are boarding
Resort Transportation. Have no fear the other two parks will have a way to get back to your resort. It just won't be within walking distance.
Your stay is so close I can smell it. Spring is a great time to visit. and the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will be in full bloom! If you have any other planning needs be sure to drop us a line and we will be happy to get back to you before your magical visit in April.
See ya real soon!
