Frommer's Highly Recommended

Not to be outdone by the huge dolphins at its sister property, this high-rise Starwood resort is topped with dual 45-foot swan statues and seashell fountains. It offers a good location as it is close to Epcot, Disney's MGM-Studios, Fantasia Gardens, and the nightlife of the BoardWalk. While the theme doesn't scream Mickey Mouse, the decor and atmosphere are inviting, thanks in part to relatively recent upgrades and renovations. It shares a beach, health club, children's program, a number of restaurants, and other trimmings with the Dolphin . The best room views are from the 11th and 12th floors' Concierge Club Level, the hotel's concierge level; the beach next to the pool offers a great view of Epcot's IllumiNations fireworks. Guest rooms here are just a tad smaller than those at the neighboring Dolphin.
