The Infamous Kitchen Sink

[electrocutie]

Since I'm celebrating my 30th birthday on my next trip, I want to go big with doing things I've never done before, and the Kitchen Sink is second on my list below CRT! I've got two questions, as I've never been to Beaches & Cream. First- do I need a reservation to order and eat the Kitchen Sink? (I already have a reservation, just double checking). And second- how do I get there? I might be coming from TL, so that would be easy enough (just hop on the bus to the Beach Club Resort right?) But what if I were coming from my own resort (POP)? Is it best to use DTD as a transfer point going to and from BC? TIA! (And apologies if these questions are painfully silly to ask!)

Yes, you do need a reservation. They don't seat many walk ups anymore.

It depends what time your ADR is for the best route. Easiest is when DHS is open: take a bus there from Pop, then walk or take the boat to the YC dock. It is about a 15-minute walk.

If you have a parkhopper, you could bus it to Epcot and walk through the International Gateway at the back. BC is a 5 minute walk from there.

DTD would be the most time consuming option and I would do it only if the parks are closed. Honestly, I wouldn't bother, I would just take a taxi or Uber.

Thank you so much! I do have park hopper, so Epcot sounds like a great idea! Getting there sounds like a snap, but I'm worried about getting back to POP since my reservation is for 9:50 PM. I think at that point, after we're done- we might be looking at a taxi.

The reverse route of the Hollywood Studios suggestion above sounds lovely at that hour (depending on when Hollywood Studios closed for the night, of course). If it's a late night closing for the studios, you could enjoy the walk back over there from YC/BC (the Boardwalk is so gorgeous at night - I'm jealous even now!) and grab the bus outside the studios.

they do take walk-ups, you have to sit at the counter

They were completely turning away all walk ups the three times we have been there since they started taking ADRs. I wouldn't bank on it.
