Hi there!

Love your pic

Beaches and Cream is located at the Beach Club Villas along the walkway which follows between the hotel and Stormalong bay. It is quite small and can get crowded during standard meal times, but is definitely woth a stop.

It's in the Beach Club section of the Yacht & Beach Club. The entrance is along the outside walkway back by their pool. (They are very strict about the pool area itself and you can't enter that part without resort ID from the Y&B).

B&C is GREAT! They make some amazing treats -- for the very brave of stomach there's the Kitchen Sink. (URP!)

As BrianTime said, it can get very packed around lunch, dinner and especially after Illuminations. (Sometimes I think 1/2 the people from Epcot decide to stop for an ice cream treat after the show!) Try to stop there mid-afternoon, early evening or mid-evening. My DW and I managed to snag 2 meals (dinners) there plus an evening snack. LOVE IT! The proximity to SAB pool makes it popular for the swimmers plus it's the refill station for YC/BC refillable mugs. Sometimes the carry-out line will stretch out the door and then some.

However, even if you have to wait (and they have pagers, so you can wander the resort, check out the game room, get a hair wrap, etc.) IT IS WORTH IT.

How long would it take to get from the international gateway at Epcot to B&C?


TIA

about 10 minutes, depending upon how fast you walk. There is a water taxi, but that won't save you much time

Speaking of Epcot & Beaches & Cream.....on Tuesday we went there for lunch. Rode the bus from AKL to Epcot. Thought it would be nice to ride the boat to B&C from there. Got on the boat and ended up getting off at the Boardwalk (didn't know any better). So I asked how to get to B&C and the lady said to walk all the way around to the blue buildings. So we walked back around and practically ended up where we started. I didn't realize you could walk to B&C from Epcot. It took minutes from the International Gateway.

IMO it would actually be longer.

Since the boat goes to BWI first, and then docks at the YC, you have to walk from the YC peir to BC which is almost as long a walk as walking from the the Epcot dock itself.
