We just got back from disneyworld. We did not stay at the dolphin but did go down to that area to check it out. One word- incredible. The entire boardwalk of the dolphin, swan, yacht club, beach club, and boardwalk villas were around a lake which was beautiful. You can easily walk to epcot in about 5-10 minutes. There are restaurants and niteclubs all along the boardwalk and if you like icecream go to beaches and cream which I think is around the beachclub/yacht club area. Expensive icecream but well worth it.
