Fuel

(Dec 2024) During our stay at the Dolphin, my wife and I had all our breakfast meals here.The best part is that this place opens at 6:00am, whereas other similar places at nearby hotels open later.

I don't often write reviews, but my experience at this place was so disappointing that I felt compelled to warn others. We were guests at the Dolphin Hotel and were on our way out to the airport. I picked up a pre made sandwich that, to be blunt, was absolutely inedible. It said it was a Banh Mi. In big bold letters it said what it was. Nowhere in any other bold letters did it say it was a vegetarian version. Most people see the words Banh Mi pick it up and assume that it is made the standard way. Well this one had mashed chicken peas and no meat whatsoever. It was gross and I love foods of all countries.I politely asked the manager if I could swap it for something else, and the response I received was nothing short of shocking. Instead of apologizing or offering a solution, they flatly refused to take it back. When I explained that I wasn't happy with the sandwich, the manager's dismissive attitude was infuriating. No empathy, no effort to make things right -- just a stonewall of indifference.I'm not asking for much -- just basic customer service and a meal that lives up to its price. Sadly, this place failed on both fronts. Don't waste your time or money here. If you're looking for quality food and service, look elsewhere.On top of that it was a $12 sandwich that was the size of a soda can. I think they could have afforded the $2 it probably costs before markup to swap it.

Fuel is the Disney Dolphin's quick service snack and beverage cafe. I was with a group who stopped by for lunch. Their lunch offerings were healthy choices ranging from cold grab-and-go sandwiches and salads, to made-to-order hot sandwiches. I had their Vegan Protein Salad, which was a good balance of spring mix lettuce, hummus, artichoke hearts, tomato, and seasoned chickpeas. For dessert, I enjoyed a slice of their chocolate cake. Both items were delicious, and I'd order them again.Service was excellent, and I witnessed staff cleaning tables as guests left.

It's okay. Nice ambience. Overpriced. $16 something dollars without taxes for a latte. employees don't greet you at all. The old lady at cashier was a little snobby.Hazelnut cafe frappe that I ordered tastes like water with hazelnut syrup. The one at McDonald's is better and a lot cheaper lol.

Four words: Self-serve Dole Whip. I believe the Dolphin (located right across from the Swan) is the only Disney resort to have this set-up (and one of the few that have Dole Whip at all), so fill those rather large cups up to your heart's content. And if you're feeling extra, they sell alcohol, too, so make it a rum float while you're at it (I spy Malibu cocktails in the can). You can even add toppings if you want, though I'm a purist and just eat Dole Whip plain because it's that good.A lot of these reviews complain about the prices but good deals are never to be had in resort convenience stores, c'mon! It's like a mini bar X 100 and only slightly cheaper because you do have to leave your room to get to it.Extra cool that it's open til 1am on weekends because who hasn't come back from the parks starving after closing?

Pre-made breakfast, everything is premade! All of the egg dishes are from liquid eggs except for the "egg press" which was super basic and lacked flavor. The teas are not loose leaf. Everything is fast-food style, nothing is elevated and prepared with any type of care. One of the worst places for food and drink on the Disney property.

Fuel is a mini Starbucks and convenience store for the Dolphin hotel. It is convenient to have before a park visit but lines in the morning are quite long. It offers a variety of coffee, drinks and quick sandwiches. Service here was fine but not crazy fast like a real Starbucks. The ambiance of this convenience store and coffee shop is open, warm and spacious. It's good to have nearby but not too helpful when lines are very long with 25 people in line with one cashier.

This is located in the lobby of the Disney Dolphin Resort across from the front desk. It is open until 11pm usually. They have sandwiches, $5 muffin, and Mickey waflles that I think were sbout $11 despite the size. They also have scoops of candy, froyo, and grab and go options like chips, salads, and drinks. They even have bottles of alcohol plus a coffee shop. Friendly staff. It's a pretty small place so while they have some tables inside don't be shocked if they fill up so you end up eating in the lobby area since there are tables there too. Seems clean and mostly stocked. They did run out of dairy milk cartons so we had to get a plastic cup of milk instead. Overall a bit overpriced but convenient.

This is a great place located in the lobby of the hotel. Every time I stay here I visit them at minimum 2 times during my stay for coffee or a snack. Love that they are open late and the breakfast and coffees are always on point.

Convenience store with snacks slash coffee bar slash sandwich shop slash grab and go is the best way to put it. I came around 9pm looking for actual food and they ran out of all their hot sandwiches. The only salad left was the garden salad and one Caesar. I opted for the latter which was a little over $10. Chicken was dry but I had zero expectations for prepackaged salad. This place is usually poppin it seems and I'd imagine the convenience snacks are pricy.
