Bourbon Steak at Walt Disney World Dolphin Remains Closed After June Kitchen Fire

Hotel is emailing affected guests to arrange rebooking to other on‑campus restaurants as repairs and safety inspections proceed.

Overview

  • A kitchen fire at Bourbon Steak prompted evacuations on June 25, 2026, and the resort has reported no injuries following the incident.
  • Resort officials said smoke was forced outside through the building’s ventilation system and that physical damage was confined to the restaurant’s kitchen rather than guest rooms or public areas.
  • Bourbon Steak has been closed since the fire and the Swan and Dolphin is telling guests the restaurant will remain closed “for the foreseeable future” while repairs are completed.
  • The restaurant’s booking system currently blocks reservations before September 16, 2026, which the coverage describes as the earliest possible reopening date but not a confirmed announcement.
  • The closure affects a high‑profile outlet that opened about a year ago to replace Shula’s Steak House, and the hotel is directing displaced diners to 22 other campus venues, including five signature restaurants, while inspections and repairs continue.
