https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/dolphin-hotel/fountain/ and https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/dolphin-hotel/cabana-bar-and-beach-club/ are covering the S&D crowd I thinkEspecially with new aand expanded meeting facilities going in at the Swan, it would have made sense for Disney to have a good CASUAL dining option open late night...A place to have a meal that is not fast food nor a fancy expensive dinner with a $26 slice of cake. They need a general sort of everythng Diner fare place for After park dining.... They now have more than enough signature dining on Crescent Lake...
Sorry I was responding to this part of your statement:But Disney has more rooms on Crescent Lake than the S&D... and if I am staying at the Boardwalk or Beach Club, I would generally not go over to the Dolphin to look for food... I would expect my much more expensive resort to have a convenient late night dining venue.
I have stayed at the Dolphin a lot over the years and it seems like every time I stayed there either The Fountain was closed or completely empty... And seriously they need someplace that is open until at least 12am...

Agreed - I know opinions are mixed here, but heading to S&D feels like I'm leaving the bubble. I'll do it for a change (or even some random Karaoke) but I'd rather enjoy the ambiance of cresent lake when paying to stay there.if I am staying at the Boardwalk or Beach Club, I would generally not go over to the Dolphin to look for food...

$7 for a 50 cent cookie at Publix is wild.I guess this comes down to can the cake bake shop only be viable with their overpricing (a la Star Cruiser), or are their margins actually obscene?
Steve's comparator between Gideons and Cake Bake shop is certainly telling.
They seem to have brought their breakfast pricing back down to earth, but the baked goods are not. I think the venue will survive, but I think we'll see a second round of repricing to salvage it.

I had always thought that Disney leases the ADH building from S&D.I wonder if this got confused- is Disney planning a jazz club for Atlantic City?
Funny no one mentions Summer House or Gideons cookies as Publix!$7 for a 50 cent cookie at Publix is wild.
Yup, that's rightThe Cake Bake Shop's waffle has "pink vanilla buttercream" and comes with "Vermont maple syrup", which is probably why it's nearly 2.5x higher priced... ??
Gideons cookies don’t look like Publix cookiesFunny no one mentions Summer House or Gideons cookies as Publix!
LOL, you let me know when you find the half pound cookies at Publix that are covered in toppings. I will say, I'm sure these ingredients are much higher end than Publix, but they aren't radically different looking.Funny no one mentions Summer House or Gideons cookies as Publix!
They must use some of the highest quality red food coloring, milk the cows on-site, churn the butter after you order, plus import the syrup fresh from Vermont every morning!!!Yup, that's right
The appearence and price debate is fair and just!$7 for a 50 cent cookie at Publix is wild.

I believe it’s in the contract for the Swan and Dolphin that Disney would operate the Atlantic Dance Hall and make it available for entertainment for convention goers.I had always thought that Disney leases the ADH building from S&D.
Edit: Or maybe S&D have some sort of input on what can or can’t go there?
Aren’t you describing the Cake Bake Shop here though? They’re not baking these goods onsite, are they?There may come a time when the only baked goods we can get are from a commercial factory...
An off-site bakery is not the same as a factory.Aren’t you describing the Cake Bake Shop here though? They’re not baking these goods onsite, are they?
