Beaches &Cream, how long is wait in July?

[bcinohio]

We are going to be at Epcot on Mon July 12, 2010. I was thinking of doing something different for dinner and walking over to Beaches and Cream. We have never been there and my son loves milk shakes. If we got there around 5pm would we have to wait a really long time to get seated? There is 4 of us. We usually eat lunch early and dinner early to avoid most crowds.

Thanks

We went to Beaches and Cream at opening the Saturday before Easter and were seated as soon as the restaurant opened.

It's hard to say today what the crowds will be like in July, but I think if you went just before 5 or at 5, you shouldn't have a very long wait.

Wait times at B&C can be very long. If you avoid dining times it can be almost a walk-in. But at traditional meal times, you can wait for quite a while.

BTW, if you are looking for a good burger try the Dolphin Fountain instead. We used to be big fans of the burgers at B&C, but then we gave the Dolphin Fountain a try and their burgers are much better.

It's all a matter of timing. We stopped by one day this week when we thought there would be no one there but they had just been slammed with a large group and there was a 45 minute wait, we went somewhere else. We stopped by the next day and was seated right away, today we only waited 5 minutes before being seated.

I agree that there are other ice cream venues in the area if you want options or the wait seems long. No one can tell you exactly what you'll encounter but if you go expecting to wait 30-60 min. and it's shorter, than gravy. If not, then you've come fully prepared. Our last visit we waited about 20 min. FYI, we also took our resort refillable mugs and we had to walk them over to the carry out counter but at least we didn't have to purchase drinks with our meal (the waitress said she was not allowed to refill them).
