Which park is closest to Beaches and Cream?

[MidgeD79]

We want the kitchen sink and I don't want to drive to it. Which park is closest to the Beach Club Resort and what is the best way to get there?

Epcot & it is a ten minute walk from there at International Gateway in the world showcase or you can take a boat from there.

If you don't have a park hopper, you can take a bus to Studios, then the Friendship boat to the BC/YC stop. B&C is near Stormalong bay. Or, you can take a bus to any park, then take a bus to the BC.

Beaches and Cream is closest to the International Gateway entrance of Epcot. If you are taking Disney transportation, it would drop you off at the other entrance to Epcot and you would have to enter the park and walk all the way through it.

You could also take Disney transportation to DHS and walk or take the boat to the Beach Club from there.

If you are already in Epcot that day, just walk out the International Gateway (between France and England) and it is a short walk.

If you are at another park, you could catch a bus to the Beach Club from there.

I went there last month while staying at the Poly - Took the monorail to MK then the bus from MK to the Beach Club Resort (which is where Beaches and Cream is) The resort is about the same distance from Epcot or DHS International Entrance and you can walk to it or reach it by boat from either park.

If you head to Epcot, you'll need to enter the park, walk all the way through the park, and out the 'back door'....the International Gateway. That will take you a out 15-20 mins. The walk from the IG to BC is about 8 mins.
If you take a bus to DHS, no need to enter the park. If the boat is at the dock, or coming in to the dock, head there. The boat will take about 18 mins to the YC/BC. If the boat isn't is sight, you can walk via the walkway that runs along the canal..takes about 15 mins.
Or, head to MK and take the bus from there. All depends on where you are starting from.

Personally, what I would do is plan it for my DHS day and take the boat from DHS over to BC. As others have pointed out, if you're just using a park as a transfer point, you can transfer at DHS without having to enter the park, whereas if you use Epcot as a transfer point, you have to enter the park (need admission/ticket) and walk all the way through. Even if you're going to be in Epcot anyway, there are so many good places to eat inside Epcot, I wouldn't leave for food elsewhere. On the other hand, there's a lot of feeling that DHS's food choices aren't that great, and Beaches & Cream might be a nice food break from the park.

We are staying at Pop Century and the only day we will be at DHS is on the 4th July and we won't be leaving all day. I decided to go to Beaches and Cream on our EPCOT day because we have a few days scheduled there. We do have park hoppers. I think we will go through the International Gateway at EPCOT to the Beach Club. Any suggestions on the quickest way to get back to Pop Century?

I think walking to the front of Epcot then bus to Pop will be about the same, time wise, as walking/boat to DHS then bus to Pop. Your absolute quickest would be taxi from BC to Pop.

I would go with the "Friendship to DHS/Bus to POP" route-your feet will thank you!lol

(Taxi would run you "around" $12.00)

Do you have a reservation (ADR) for Beaches & Cream? It's an extremely popular place, and getting in without an ADR is almost impossible.

I would just take a cab....sooooo much quicker!! It should take under 10 mins to get there, and the cost is around $10....give or take a few dollars.
