Does Beaches and Cream get crowded at dinner time or can you pretty much walk in and be seated right away? We will be going in the beginning of May and thinking of going around 6:00 or 6:30 before the Illuminations Cruise.
It depends on the season and how full the resort is. Try to arrive a bit early just to make sure. They will give you one of the pagers that light up ... to let you know when your table is ready. I think in the beginning of May you should have no probelm at all!
I've been to B&C just about any time and in October, December and May. The only time we really had to wait for a table was after park closings and we only waited 20 minutes because we wanted a table and not the counter.
We were at BCV last July/Aug and B&C was JAMMED everytime we went there no matter what time of day or night. The burgers were very good though. We always had to put our name on the "list" and the hostess tried to dissuade us from eating there several times at night. It was a little annoying but we were always glad we waited.
