Late arrival Epcot resort area restaurant?

[Worfiedoodles]

Hello!

Our late August flight arrives just after 5 p.m., and then we are taking the ME to the Beach Club. I'm afraid to make an AR, because anything could happen, and we might arrive too late. I'm guessing we should be checked in and ready to find dinner by 7, but that may be wishful thinking.

Is there a good option for a casual dinner without going into any of the parks? We will be tired and hungry...

I would try Spoodles - you can walk there from the BC - good food, should be able to get a table without too much of a wait.

We usually take a late flight. We have done Big River Grille, we have also done ESPN very late (11:20PM) they serve till midnight i believe but you might have to order from the bar, and if you really get in trouble there is always Tubbi's in the Dolphin that is 24 hours. Those are all very casual Oh, there is also a pizza take out window by Spoodles.

espn club sounds perfect.

ESPN, as long as you are ok with the sports bar environment. Meaning it can be noisy and there's tvs all over the place.

Beaches and Cream is another one that hasn't been mentioned. Burgers and ice cream at the Y&B.

These both sound great. I really appreciate all the ideas. This is our first time onsite, and I know we can't just go to McDonald's (not that I particularly want to!).

That's three votes for ESPN club, and my husband loves sports...that could be a way to get our trip off to a terrific start!

Thanks for letting me know there are lots of options. I'm really glad that if we get "stuck" we will still be able to eat. Tired and hungry is no way to wake up at Disney! I am going to have to look at these menus in advance, so I know exactly where to go!

Both great choices, both may be very busy. just depends on what atmosphere you want. Are there kids, if so, they can swim while you wait for a table at Beaches and Cream or you can satch sports or use the arcade at ESPN. (once the waitress asked what my kids looked like and found them at the arcade to get their order and came back to make sure that the choices were OK with me)

I'd go for Beaches & Cream, try to make it before Illuminations.

Wow! With selections like these, Beaches and Cream sounds fabulous! My dh and ds7 would like almost anything on the menu, and it sounds like a great way to start our vacation!!

Thanks so much for all the info!

We are hoping to get there early enough to get my ds7 in the pool...it would be great if we could literally have him swim with me or my dh while the other adult secures dinner.

Alternatively, if we're too late for the pool, the arcade would also go over big.

Thanks for the great ideas. I know we will have to go to one of these places!

Big River Grille...........

Big River Grille...........

Oh, wow! I just looked at their menu and it looks fabulous. If I tell my dh he can get a microbrew, that may be where he wants to eat every meal!
