Probably not a great waffles-to-waffles comparison, but a Belgian Waffle at Original Pancake House locally goes for $6.95. The 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... ??

Hey, that's not fair. The Publix cookie would have more than 5 chocolate chips in it. ;)

$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.

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.

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...

D23 Brazil announcement CONFIRMED!!!

Still just a rumor.

Especially 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...

I wonder if this got confused- is Disney planning a jazz club for Atlantic City?

I think the announcement re swan and dolphin plays into the Jellyroll decision. If S/D is making a big push to expand its convention operations, I can see Disney wanting to try and own the location where Jellyrolls is, and offer later night/adult Entertaiment, and get the revenue from that business, as opposed to just getting rent from a third party operator.

True, there is some there.....but later in the evening it's really mostly indoors within Riverside when Bob is playing. Similar for Boardwalk, Jellyrolls keeps some activity going later into the night (and offers different value/entertainment type vs the street entertainment).
