Speaking of Swan and Dolphin eats, we also learned about the permanent closure of a restaurant and more about what’s replacing it! Unfortunately, Shula’s Steak House is closing for good on June 15th, 2025.

Named after the location’s original owner, football great Don Shula,  Shula’s Steakhouse is an upscale hidden gem at the Dolphin and has been open since 1995.

It will be replaced by Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina and the MINA Group, which manages over 40 restaurants worldwide. According to Sean Verney, Area General Manager of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, “Welcoming Chef Mina to our culinary offerings continues to push us forward in our efforts to provide guests heightened dining experiences.”
