Hilton HHonors - WDW Hilton VS Disney World Dolphin

To be fair and get the Hilton folks point of view, see:

Thanks!

I've stayed at both properties and would agree with those on the Starwood board that favor the Dolphin. The proximity to Epcot and Disney transportation is a plus. Plus I'd guess that the Dolphin property would be more fun for kids, especially with the Boardwalk property right next door.

P.S. If you do go to the Dolphin, check out the fish on the roof. Nothing like any dolphin I've ever seen. At least the swan on the Swan looks like a swan.

The fish on top of the Dolphin hotel represents a dolphin fish not the dolphin mammal.

I think I may have caught a dolphin fish on a fishing trip I went on this winter. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Was it a swift marine fish whose colors brightened and changed when you took it out of the water? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Webster's definition of a dolphin fish suggests this description. No picture there, though.

And thanks, tuctraveler, for sending me to my dictionary. I'd ask how a desert person learned so much about fish, but then we'd go even farther off topic...

Dolphin fish, a popular dish served in restaurants throughout Hawaii, also known as "mahimahi."

I don't quite remember. My cousin took me fishing off the coast of Boca Raton. We went out over a reef, stopped the boat, and started fishing. I started reeling in some fish. I also started to get sea sick http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif, so I handed the reel over to him. I remember hearing him say that I caught a dolphin fish, but by that point all I wanted to do was head into shore. Once he started up the boat and got it moving, I was fine.
