Hello Becky and welcome to planDisney!
I just had the opportunity to stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas and the view from my balcony was the beautiful
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel! You are going to love the location! Just a walking path or
Friendship Boat Launch away from both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT!
The best way to get to the Magic Kingdom from the Dolphin Hotel is to take the complimentary theme park bus from the hotel to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Once you arrive at the Transportation and Ticket Center, you have multiple choices on how to travel over to the Magic Kingdom! You can take the
Monorail and fly through the sky to get to the magic! Or you can jump on board the ferry boat and sail across the Seven Seas Lagoon to your date with Mickey and Minnie! Everything is well-marked at the Transportation and Ticket Center, and there are Cast Members who can point you in the right direction if you have any questions.
Your return trip to the Dolphin will be tracing your steps back to the Transportation and Ticket Center to find the bus that will shuttle you back to your home away from home!
I hope you have time at the Magic Kingdom to watch the
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade! I had the chance to watch it twice this past week, once with my daughter from a spot in Frontierland and once with my wife from the start of the parade route near the entrance of Main Street U.S.A.! Both viewing spots were great, and the parade is absolutely stunning!
Becky, I hope your stay at Walt Disney World Dolphin is a magical experience for you and don’t forget to enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
