The Walt Disney World Dolphin Lobby: The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van July 15, 2009
If you've never been inside the Walt Disney World Dolphin (or it's sister resort, The Walt Disney World Swan), I strongly suggest that you stop in, just to see what the public spaces look like.
Both resorts were designed by architect Michael Graves. I'll describe the architecture as playful but no matter what word you choose, it won't be "boring."
This is a view from the lobby looking down toward the exit to the Boardwalk. It looks like you're inside a tent, doesn't it! The whole hotel is like that. Everywhere you turn, you see the unexpected. Sort of like a stage or movie set. Not your typical Disney hotel but fun nonethless...and worth a visit.
