The Walt Disney World Dolphin recently completed a $140 million dollar transformation of sorts. Over 2,000 guest rooms where remodeled to better reflect the water themed architecture of the resort. The all new Dolphin lobby features an all new design complete with a new lobby bar and grab and go location. The photo report below showcases some before and after images of the Dolphin Lobby and rooms.

Sam has been visiting Walt Disney World since 1986. The spark from those early trips lead to an interest in the "How" and "Why" behind Disney Parks and Resorts and the thrill of discovering the history of how we got here today.
