Beaches and cream location

[amf]

We are going back to Orlando in June and, for once, we are not doing any parks (sacrilege, i know )

DW wants to visit Beaches and cream. Never been before and I know its in or about Beach Club. I was thinking about parking at Fantasia Gardens and walking over. 2 questions;-

1. Whereabouts in Beach Club is Beaches and cream (in other words how do we get there once we've found the hotel)?

2. Any better suggestions for parking, bearing in mind we will have no park tix?

It is out the back by the pool go in the main reception and turn left, we parked at Epcot and walked through international gateway or you can just park at the resort

If you have a reservation you shouldn't have to pay to park at the Beach Club

Make sure you make an ADR or you won't get in - its tiny and always fully booked. There is a takeaway window for ice creams.

You will struggle to get a reservation now for June, but you might get a last minute one, no chance of a walk up. The hotel is not that big, B&C is at the back, just ask when you get there, precise location isn’t something anyone should need to research.

Thanks folks, great info. I've managed to snag an ADR on our last full day thete😁 we have never stayed on site and not eaten in a WDW resort restaurant in 25 years, before ADRs were invented.

I'd read about the difficulties of free parking at WDW resorts for day guests hence suggesting parking off site. I understand now that parking onsite should be OK with the ADR.

Now DW wants to visit Wdw hotels this trip. What are my chances of free parking at Contemporary or Grand Floridian without an ADR? Maybe best to park at Downtown Disney and use resort busses?

The policy is no free parking when no reservation, I don’t think it is always implemented though. I can’t see it happening at Contemporary in particular, otherwise it would be packed out with people who then just walk to MK.

While you're at Beaches and Cream you can check out the YC too as they're linked, then a lovely walk around the lake to visit the Boardwalk Inn - so there's 3 off the list
