Hi Megan!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It's so great talking to a fellow Disney fan from Illinois! I bet you're counting down the days until your magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort. My favorite summers always involve a trip to Disney!
Megan, you won't need a day pass to visit the neighboring Resort hotels near the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel! You are welcome to tour other Resort hotels and visit their shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, you won't be able to swim in other Resort hotel's pools, but I recommend taking a peek at how beautifully-themed each one is! Since you'll be close by, definitely take a stroll on the boardwalk and enjoy ice cream at
Ample Hills Creamery. It's so yummy! We recently stayed at Disney's BoardWalk Inn and I loved waking up early in the morning to jog around Crescent Lake. Perhaps you'll want to try a different Resort hotel for your next trip to Disney!?
I know you've stayed at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in the past, so you're familiar with how close you'll be to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. If you arrive on (or after) June 30th, check out the new
Toy Story Land opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios!
I'm wishing you a summer filled with magic. If you have any other questions, please come back and visit us again!
Beth
