Beaches & Cream - doable without an ADR?

[dizzyc]

I've managed to get a reservation for 1.10pm but we would prefer to have an earlier slot when they first open. Still can't get an ADR for that time though. If we just turned up at 11am when they open would it be possible to get a table for 4, or will it be ADR bookings only? It looks tiny inside! Thanks

It's very small inside so it can be tricky to get a walk up table. If it was me I would keep the ADR and spend the morning in Epcot then use the International Gateway to walk round to Beaches and Cream x

We turned up at opening last year whilst staying at the Beach Club and the quoted wait time was 2 hours.

Depending on your plans turn up at 11:10 and say that's the time you had written down for your ADR. They're unlikely to send you away for 2 hours.

I think it’s unlikely you would get a table. Beaches & Cream is tiny and I doubt they can physically accommodate anyone without an ADR. I’d be very surprised if anyone replies to say they’ve managed a walk up.

You may get sat down at that time with possibly a little wait, but only likely at the counter.

It really is tiny in there, we went at 2pm we did have an ADR but it was heaving and we had to still wait with that , the time suited us though we had a lovely morning in Epcot and then went through gateway to beaches and cream and walked off our over indulgence very slowly around world showcase , one of our favourite days

Why they put an ADR on this place is beyond me, it probably seats 50 people at most!

That being said if you just want a Sundie -and the food is very average they do take out and they have tables outside where you can sit in the shade, we did that a few weeks ago.

We had an ADR and still waited over 30 minutes to be seated. It’s ridiculously small in there and incredibly popular. Your best bet is to try and change your reservation (which given the time you want might not be as hard as you think). Whenever I was trying it was always 11am or 11:30am available. Eventually I managed to get the 7pm slot I’d been waiting for.

I’d say zero chance unless you arrive as someone else cancels/doesn’t turn up. I’ve got it booked for an evening in July and have been checking for an earlier slot that evening daily. It’s not happening for me either!

Precisely the reason why thry have ADRs here. There are 3 booths each seating 6, 7 tables each seating 4, and 12 seats around the bar. Only 58 seats in total so if you haven't got an ADR or you turn up early you will be sent away.

Having said that, in September we managed to get a same day ADR for around 3pm.
