Swan and Dolphin Hotel

We’re talking about the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, located in the EPCOT Resort area. These hotels get many of the same perks as staying at a Disney World Deluxe Resort, but they’re typically a little bit cheaper because they’re owned by Marriott instead of Disney. If you’re planning to stay there soon, you should know that the Dolphin Hotel just made some big announcements!

Shula’s Steakhouse Is Closing

As part of some big updates to the Dolphin, Shula’s Steak House is closing permanently. Shula’s is named after the location’s original owner and American football legend, the late Don Shula. Reservations are currently available through June 14th, 2025.

The restaurant has been around since 1995, and its theme celebrates the Miami Dolphins’ 1972 perfect season. We’ll definitely miss it, but something NEW is coming in its place.

A New Restaurant Is Coming Soon

What’s replacing Shula’s? It’s a new Michael Mina restaurant! Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina will be getting its third location in Florida, with the other two located in Miami and Delray Beach.

There’s not a set opening date for the restaurant yet, but it’s expected to arrive mid-summer. Michael Mina has multiple Michelin stars, so we can’t wait to experience some more fine dining in Disney World!

New Restaurant Menu Revealed

And on top of the news about the new restaurant, we also got some details about the dining location’s menu! It will have a “reimagined modern take on the quintessential American steakhouse” with premium cuts of beef and seafood infused with global flavors, along with decadent signature desserts and world-class beverage offerings.

We recently visited the Bourbon Steak location in Orange County, LA. Our meal was absolutely delicious, and now we’re even more hyped for this spot to come to the Dolphin! We already have several restaurants from Michelin-starred chefs in Disney World, and they’re some of our favorite spots.
