Buffet at Dolphin question

[dixielander]

I'm thinking of trying the "buffeteria"? at the Dolphin. My plan is to take the boat there from MGM/Disney Studios, on the day that we are doing that park.

Does anyone know if this would be a good idea or not? I'd like to try to save money on meals whenever I can, as we are a family of five and I'd like to eat OUT of the parks when possible, (I also don't really care for any of the sit-down rest. in MGM).

Any opinions on this restaurant and also how long the boat trip would be will be appreciated.

The boat trip will be about 15 minutes or so.....they used to have a great buffet at Gulliver's Grille but that was in 2001...not sure now....should consider trying 50's Prime Time Cafe...a real hoot....at MGM

Here's a link to Tubbi's.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think my husband would enjoy Prime Time, he's not one to like to be put on the spot.

I thought the Buffeteria was a bigger buffet type place, but it doesn't sound like it.

Thanks anyway, maybe we'll to the dinner package at MGM.

Tubbi's is not a buffet..it is a wonderful variety of food..just like homemade..served cafeteria style. So, if you order a pizza..you wait for it to cook, etc.

webray is right, Tubbi's is not a buffet. Fresh, at the Dolphin is a buffet, however. Could that be the buffet you are referring to? Fresh has both a breakfast and lunch buffet. Our family tried the breakfast buffet in 1/04, and we liked it. If you are trying to save money, though, I don't know if the buffets can help you accomplish this as they are not cheap! You can certainly spend less on a fast food type meal in the parks than on any buffet in, or out of, the parks.
