Beaches and Cream is your classic ice cream shop located at Disney's Beach Club resort. It is not near the main lobby but more off to the side. It does face the pool which is nice. I would recommend making a reservation especially if you have a larger group. They do offer walk up's but I have never had good luck with walk ups here even though there are empty seats. They last time we tried for a group of 3 adults and 2 kids, they told us walk ups always sit at the bar and they wont sit a group of 5 at the bar. Very nice way to say no chance for us. They serve ice cream but also food. If you are not staying at the resort, you can park here IF you have a reservation. You can also walk here from EPCOT, take a bus from Disney Springs or one of the parks, take the boat from Studios, EPCOT or a few resorts or be dropped off. There are tons of ways to get here.
This is home to the kitchen sink, which is literally a kitchen sink: many scoops of Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies 'n Cream, and Mint Chocolate Chip topped with, Hot Fudge, Peanut Butter, SNICKERS pieces, Fresh-baked Brownie, and smothered in every additional topping we have. Also available Chocolate Lovers or Neapolitan. They also add a whole can of whip cream. It says serves 4 and is $39 but honestly this would feed 6-8 people. It is so large!
They also have a walk up window where you can get ice cream to go. I believe you can order food to go, but you cannot order the kitchen sink to go. We have done both.
Recently my husband and I had dinner here. We decided to share since we were going to a few places at the Yacht and Beach club. Sort of like a stroll. I started with a root beer float with vanilla vodka. Yes they do have adult drinks as well. It was fantastic. Such a classic root beer float, just like when you were a child. My husband ordered a beer. We decided to share the French Dip Sandwich: Toasted French Roll served with Thinly Sliced Roast Beef, Swiss, and Au Jus topped with Crispy-fried Onions. We upgraded our side to the loaded Potato Tots, which had Cheese Sauce, Bacon, Red Onions, and Garlic-Peppercorn Ranch, but left the onions on the side for my husband. This was a great sandwich! We both really really enjoyed this tremendously. The beef was thin, it was hot, and they gave us two bowls of the au jus since we were sharing. Fantastic meal. The tots were covered in cheese and bacon, it was really really good. I would definitely order this again. And to be honest, we shared this, and I was full. We had so many other drinks and appetizers to order on our crawl but this started me off really full!
We did not get ice cream but we have also visited the to-go window and gotten ice cream. Both were very good. My only issue is they do have tables and seats if you are getting it to go, but there were tons of bees that kept swarming us. It would be nice if Disney could help with that situation as I am allergic and we had to leave.
I think overall this is a great stop for ice cream but also for food. It is more suited to kids with their choices but we loved our food. It is not overly expensive so if you are on a budget, this is also a great place to go. We love it here and will definitely be back. My only issue is the seating, don't have a walk up list with tons of empty tables and then tell us they cant take our walk up. It can be challenging to get a reservation but they are on the smaller side. I would definitely recommend this spot.
