Shula's

Is this signature restaurant on the dining plan? Some of the items on the menu seem really expensive compared to the other restaurants.

Unfortunately not ...if it was, I'd be hitting it March 16th

Shula's doesn't accept the dining plan at all. None of the restaurants in the Swan or Dolphin do.

It is not the Disney Dinning plan and there is an explanation for it. The way the Disney Dinning plan is currently, All hotels owned by Disney are part of the dining plan when it comes to table services, counter services, and a number of snacks. That means while 3rd party restaurants in the theme parks and downtown Disney are the Disney Dining plan, it is different for Hotels that aren't owned by Disney.

While the Walt Disney Company built the Swan and Dolphin, they are not the owners of the hotels and that means Swan and Dolphin doesn't have anything on the two hotel's property in terms of food that is on the Disney Dinning plan as a result. Tishman Hotel Corporation owns the hotels with them operated by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Nationwide under the Westin brand.

Disney gave Tishman a 99 year land lease also.

I had the biggest potato in my life at the Shula's in Tampa. It was a twice baked, which I love and are rare to find. The waiter warned us that it was huge, but we ignored him. I have been to plenty of steakhouses that claim they are huge, but are not too much for one person.

These were the real deal. I am not sure that I have ever seen a potato so big. I barely made it through half. from now on, when I get that warning, we will share and order another if necessary.

Not on the plan but a great place for a steak.
