[Emily & Sarah's Mom]

A few quick questions about Beaches and Cream:

- How long of a walk is it from Epcot?
- Can we take a boat there?

- Will we need ADRs?

We are considering this for dinner 6/10 after the Flower Show?

Thank you!

A few quick questions about Beaches and Cream:

- How long of a walk is it from Epcot?
From the International Gateway it's about a 10 minute walk.
- Can we take a boat there?
Yes, you can take a boat but probably quicker to walk unless it's pouring
- How is the food?
Food is pretty good, nothing spectacular but it's a fun atmosphere. Ice cream is worth the visit.
- Will we need ADRs?
I could be wrong but I don't think they take ADRs

We are considering this for dinner 6/10 after the Flower Show? You should have a nice time. Consider taking a walk around the Epcot resort area after. The BW is a fun place

A few quick questions about Beaches and Cream:

- How long of a walk is it from Epcot?

About five to ten minutes from the International Gateway.

- Can we take a boat there?

Yes, but the wait for the boat and then the walk from the dock may be as long as the walk from International Gateway.

- How is the food?

Nothing much, here is the menu for dining in.

- Will we need ADRs?

Yes, it can get very crowded. However they don't take reservations, they are walk-up only.

We are considering this for dinner 6/10 after the Flower Show?

Thank you!

They don't take ADRs, and the wait can be lengthy - we waited 20 minutes at 3:00 in the afternoon - not during any "rush"

Food was, IMO, not worth the bother. The ice cream was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it - it isn't "small shop homemade ice cream" and Ghiradelli's has (IMO) better ice cream. Burgers were better than counter service, but not (IMO) by much. It was also - I felt - one of the worst values we had at Disney.

But lots of people love this place and go every trip.

It's only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the back exit in Epcot. We eat there at least once on every trip. The burgers are the best in WDW.

I really enjoyed Beaches and Cream. The wait can be long - no ADRs as others have said. I thought the food was pretty decent and would definitely go again. Loved the onion rings!!

At the member meeting for BCV in December, they were saying that the same menu was going to be offered at the other place to eat by SAB (sorry, can't think of the name). Due to the popularity and very numerous complaints of the looong waits at B&C, enlarging was considered, but too costly, so the option was to offer the same food by SAB. Don't know if this has happened yet.

Yes, very busy, very crowded. Last year we ate there, and felt 'greasy' after leaving. Don't remember that, maybe it's just us gettin' old!

I love the food and ice cream at Beaches and Cream and make sure we have lunch there at least once a trip....Can't wait I'll be there in 2 weeks..

We ate there last trip. I would eat in EPCOT and walk over there just for desert. The burgers were decent but nothing spectacular. Ice cream was Yum, Yum, Yummy. DH, DS5 and I all thought it was better than Ghiradelli's. Which we had to try also just to be sure.
