Does Beaches & Cream take ADRs?

[JSweetman]

We're going after Thanksgiving with my daughter who's turning 9: . My brother and sister will also be bringing their families, so we need a place to celebrate that'll take 12 people. I'm letting her choose between Rainforest Cafe (for the volcano) and Beaches & Cream (for the Kitchen Sink). If she opts for B&C, can we make an ADR for the full party or will we just have to show up and wait?

FYI for those considering something similar, the RFCs in Disney are not allowed to do the usual birthday package and they won't do reservations for parties that big, but you can put two parties close to each other.

March 1982: off property
April 1990 (honeymoon): Grand Floridian
March 2003: Port Orleans French Quarter
December 2003: Polynesian
Nov/Dec 2007: Coronado Springs

We were just their last week, it is a very small place, holds maybe 25 people or so, and if you are on the dining plan I really don't think its worth a table service, to me it should be a counter service at best ... By the way, I paid cash at lunch instead of wasting a table service on it, all they had to offer was burgers, ice cream ...

You just have to show up and wait. No ADRs at Beaches & Cream, and the waits can be quite long at popular times.

If you decide to go, know that it's not likely you'll all be seated togther, or even near each other, which may make it difficult if the families are split up. We saw this happen to a large group back in Sep. There were 8-10 of them at 2 tables across the restaurant from each other (not terribly far away since it's a small place!) but, on the plus side, the adults didn't have to sit with the kids! We didn't eat real food there, just had the kitchen sink, but it was yummy!

Your best bet is to go right when they open at 11:00 a.m. Last week we went right when they opened. Right after we were seated, a family of about 12 came in. They pushed three tables together. They came just for the kitchen sink. They seemed to have fun and they ate it all.

B&C is a great place, it is on the smaller side, prob holds about 55 people at capacity between the booths, the tables and the counter seats. Are you ok with being broken up?

I have also seen adults in a booth and the kids at an adjoioning table.

It is a pretty neat little place. The burgers are good, onion rings are yummy and the ice cream has some great combos (no way jose comes to mind). Kitchen sick is a tad to varied for me

B&C may not be the most expensive out there, but it is a nice little casual dining place and I am very glad it is not a popular DDP place

Great suggestions, thanks. I don't think we'll be able to make an 11am opening since we have an 11:30 princess breakfast on our scheduled day at Epcot and getting there from another park will kill too much time. Does anyone have a sense of what times are busy for B&C? What are our prospects for a late-afternoon snack or post-dinner dessert?

If you can't make 11, I would try around 2/2:30 - after the lunch rush.
