On Thursday evening, June 25, 2026, a small fire broke out in the kitchen of Bourbon Steak at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort. Guests were briefly evacuated from the lobby and some guest floors during this time as a precaution.
Kitchen Fire at Dolphin Resort
Officials confirmed the incident with ClickOrlando and stated guests were let back in once the situation was cleared.
Pictures make it seem the fire was much larger than it was, as the ventilation system is meant to push smoke outside. No damage to hotel and only in the restaurant.

Videos on social media show the severity of the situation. Heavy black smoke could be seen from the Boardwalk and surrounding areas. Another video of firefighters on the roof of the building was shared in a public Facebook group. In the video, black smoke was present, but there were no flames at that time.
The restaurant is closed until further notice, and there is no known reason for what caused the fire at this time.
