Ah, Beaches & Cream Soda Shop… THIS is the place for classic diner eats and GIGANTIC ice cream sundaes in Walt Disney World!
Tucked between the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts, this authentic soda counter restaurant is decked out in pastels complete with a jukebox!
Though the sundaes and shakes here are sizable no matter which sweet treat you order, Beaches & Cream is especially well known as being home to the famous Kitchen Sink: an eight-scoop ice cream sundae (made for sharing with the whole group) served up with EVERY TOPPING in the house!
No time for a reservation? You can always grab some ice cream (or hard shakes & floats for adults) at the Beaches & Cream To Go Window, too!
The Meal at Beaches and Cream
We very much appreciated the variety on the menu and the affordability. We can really see why this restaurant is a favorite of many Disney fans. While the menu has some great, more interesting options, they’re also safe for almost all eaters, making it picky-eater-friendly.
This spot is known for the Kitchen Sink and the No Way Jose. So keep that in mind!
If you’re looking for ice cream treats and don’t really want to sit down, there is a to-go window option outside the restaurant that doesn’t require any reservations at all!

The Atmosphere at Beaches and Cream
Beaches & Cream is located at the Beach Club, and it’s situated right next to the Stormalong Bay pool with an exterior entrance.
One of the things we love about this restaurant is how bright and colorful it is. With its soda shop vibe, you feel like you’re stepping back in time to the 1950s or 1960s, especially thanks to the jukebox playing music from that time throughout your visit.
We love the design details here too — the fun ceiling fixtures and artwork of classic Disney characters especially caught our eye, and it truly feels like a fantastic fit for the rest of the Beach Club Resort atmosphere.
You can see the chefs in the kitchen cooking the hot food, and there are even some seats at the counter where you get an up-close view.

Nosh or Not
Head to this old-fashioned restaurant if…
- Chasing retro soda-shop nostalgia. Step inside, and it’s 1962 in the best way—pastel booths, checkered floors, and a soundtrack that makes your milkshake taste 20% happier. It’s pure Beach Club charm with zero pretense and maximum sprinkles.
- Celebrating with kids (or kids-at-heart). This place is engineered for messy smiles. Giant sundaes, whipped-cream mountains, and servers who get the joy of making a big deal out of dessert—your birthday button will feel right at home here.
- Craving over-the-top ice cream. If your sweet tooth has main-character energy, this is the move. Think legendary shareables (hello, Kitchen Sink) and fan-favorite sundaes like the peanut-butter-chocolate dream team. Come hungry. Leave sticky. Zero regrets.
- Want a comfort-food pit stop near EPCOT. Burgers, tots, grilled cheese + tomato soup—simple, satisfying, and perfect between World Showcase laps. It’s a quick stroll from International Gateway, so you can slide out of the park and into a booth fast.
Find a different restaurant if…
- Maybe skip it if you’re on a tight schedule. It’s small and popular, which means ADRs go fast and waits can run long. The walk-up window is handy for scoops, but it won’t replace the full dine-in spectacle.
- Hoping for quiet, healthy, or adventurous. Beaches & Cream is loud, lively, and proudly old-school. Greens and gourmands should look elsewhere; this menu speaks fluent nostalgia, not “light and innovative.”
- Rolling deep with a big party. Space is cozy—great for dates and families, trickier for large groups or stroller convoys. If you need elbow room, consider a roomier BoardWalk/Beach Club neighbor.
