\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

Eating at Beaches & Cream<\/a> has been on our bucket list for years.\u00a0 Back when the restaurant did not take reservations, we were hesitant to trek to the Disney’s Beach Club Resort area not knowing ahead of time if we could get a table.\u00a0 Advance Dining Reservations<\/a> (ADRs) are now available for Beaches & Cream, and we finally gave it a try. \u00a0If you’re dreaming of a good places for burgers and ice cream, this is the place to go!<\/p>\n

We scheduled Beaches & Cream on a day we visited Hollywood Studios, and used the lunch as a break from the park.\u00a0 We rode the boat from Hollywood Studios<\/a> to the Beach Club Resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing that struck me when I entered the restaurant was the size of the place.\u00a0 It is small.\u00a0 I have always heard of long waits for a seat, and now I understand why the waits were long because there are not a lot of tables. \u00a0We saw people without reservations being turned away, so make sure you get your ADR if you want to eat here. \u00a0 If you want just ice cream, there is a limited take out menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We were seated at a round table which was made for a party of four.\u00a0 We were a party of three, yet we felt quite squished into that space. \u00a0I noticed that parties of four were seated at the booths, which were better suited for four people. \u00a0What you see in the background of the first photo is the bulk of the restaurant, and there is a counter with seating off to one side and booths are off to the other side.<\/p>\n

The next thing I noticed was the amazing beach and ice cream theme. \u00a0 Check out the beach balls on the booths!<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a kick out of these ice cream cone lights!<\/p>\n

There is even a jukebox that worked!\u00a0 It did not require money, and my kids had fun selecting Jailhouse Rock for our lunch music.<\/p>\n

Condiments were on the table, and I liked that because we did not have to ask for anything.<\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had the Angus Beef Burger with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a fresh baked roll with fries as a side dish.\u00a0 Let\u2019s talk about the roll first.\u00a0 I noticed that the menu said \u201cfresh baked,\u201d and indeed the bread was fresh!\u00a0 This roll was a perfect texture for the burger, and tasted as if it were baked that morning.\u00a0 The burger itself was flavorful. \u00a0Overall, it was an awesome cheeseburger.\u00a0 My only complaint was that the tomato slice could have been a better quality.\u00a0 It was a small flaw, but I\u2019m picky about fresh tomatoes.\u00a0 The fries were very good!<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

My son ordered the Beaches Angus Burger with ham, Swiss cheese, sauteed onions, horseradish-mustard sauce, lettuce, and tomato on a fresh baked roll.\u00a0 He liked it.\u00a0 He selected onion rings as a side, and those were good and crispy.<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter asked for a plain hot dog, which they were happy to bring to her.\u00a0 She enjoyed it. \u00a0Most Walt Disney World restaurants will gladly simplify a dish if you ask.<\/p>\n

Desserts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been dreaming about the classic No Way Jose Sundae for years and assumed that I would order one. \u00a0However, once I read the description of the Milky Way Sundae, all bets were off! \u00a0They had me at “caramel.” \u00a0The Milky Way Way Sundae has three scoops of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, and a cherry. \u00a0It was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

My son did get the No Way Jose Sundae, a winning combination of peanut butter and hot fudge over ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry. \u00a0Someday, I will order this too!<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter got an Old Fashioned Sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream and hot fudge.<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a dessert on the menu called The Kitchen Sink which is made of eight scoops of ice cream, all toppings in the house, and a whole can of whipped cream! \u00a0We did not see anyone order this, but someday it would be a fun dessert to tackle with a group of people!<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entrees and desserts were wonderful, though we found it to be too much food for us. \u00a0When we return to Beaches & Cream, we will pay out of pocket instead of using the Disney Dining Plan<\/a> and will and share some of the meals and\/or desserts. \u00a0Although the burgers and hot dog were good, this would be an nice place to enjoy desserts in the evening. \u00a0I’m looking forward to a return visit because of the fun atmosphere and awesome food! \u00a0This is the perfect spot to soak in a casual beach atmosphere while enjoying food, family, and friends.<\/p>\n
