Beaches and Cream

Does Beaches and Cream take walk ups or reservations only?

When we were there last week I heard them tell someone that there would be a 90 minute wait for a table so I’m guessing if they have room they’ll take walk ups. If you know you want a table, I’d make an ADR. They do have a take out window though but I think it’s just for ice cream.

They do take walk ups. But, unless you time it just right, you could have along wait. Better to get an ADR if you can or be there at an off time.

Does Beaches and Cream take walk ups or reservations only?

When we were there last, we asked at the podium if it was possible to get on a wait list to eat. The hostess told us that we had to make a reservation thru Disney Dining (or the MDE app). So, I would plan on making an ADR.

We've gone many times without a reservation but you will have to wait, and you run the risk of having to wait a long time. As someone mentioned, it can be like 90 minutes.
If you go closer to the end of the evening they may be able to seat you faster, or run the risk of them saying they have no more space for the evening, they base it on ADRs too.
Sometimes if you are willing to sit at the counter, they can get you in faster. Booths (when available - there are only 3 booths) are usually reserved for those with ADRs.

I was hoping to eat at B&C on our upcoming trip but couldn't get an ADR for anytime during our 6 days. It's always been a bit of a wait to get in but now it's next to impossible.

We were there this spring break. We picked up a noon reservation the day before. Also one night we were that way and asked to sit at the bar...90 minute wait. We only wanted ice cream so we ordered it through the walk up part and ate it on the beach. I had a now way Jose. Dh a banana slept. So good

If you are a small party, you might be able to FP get a seat at the counter. Arriving when they first open would be best bet. The take out window is a great second choice. They will make some of the (ice cream) menu items on the sit down menu if you ask, in my experience. Just not food, or the kitchen sink!

Does anyone know if you can get a counter seat with an ADR? We have an ADR for some late night ice cream on our upcoming trip, but we like sitting at the counter at B&C. Several years ago we did a walk up and they said walk ups could only sit at the counter. But that's where I want to sit with the ADR!

Almost every restaurant takes walk-ups, but you're gonna wait A WHILE... especially for B&C, where there are very few tables.

I'd always recommend making an ADR. You can take-out (not the kitchen sink).. and there are tables outside that you can sit at. We like to take out, then go to the Yacht Club pier and watch the fireworks.

I also have had success grabbing an ADR day before and day of... Was sitting in Hogsmeade one day at the "Park that shall not be named" and checked on a whim and got an ADR for a few hours later that night

And I will say that on our trip in March, we showed up more than an hour early for our ADR since we had nothing else on our schedule. Checked in, then bought a card for the arcade to pass the hour. Five minutes later we were paged and seated! Totally unexpected Of course now we have to remember to take the arcade card on the next trip - barely used any of the credits!

My son wants the Kitchen Sink on his birthday. There are no ADRs available all week. What is the best time to walk up if that is all we want?

 

[MomOTwins]

I would think go between mealtimes, like 3:30pm.

As a party of one, even with an ADR I almost always get seated at the counter. If that is what you want, just mention it when you check in and I am sure they will try and accommodate you if they can.

Party of two in October, late ADR at 10pm, we were asked if we wanted to wait for a table or be seated at the counter and we sat at the counter.

My husband and I were there at opening last May and we were seated at the counter within 5 minutes. They filled up very quickly-by the time we left the tables and counter were all taken.

Yeah, that will be too early for the kitchen sink, for us. We are west coasters so stay on that time zone when we travel to WDW. That will be breakfast time for us!

Its very difficult, if not impossible to get a table just waking up. There are only about 10 tables in the whole place, and about 10 counter chairs They do have ice cream to go, but not the full kitchen sink. They have a smaller version though and the No Way Jose is to DIE for! I had 3 reservations on my trip last year. 1 for lunch and 2 I just reserved late night for ice cream (We were staying at YC). It was great!

In front of the door is the take out station
