When you’re in the mood to cool down with a giant cup of ice cream in Disney World, there’s one place that comes to mind — Beaches and Cream!
Located between the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts in the Epcot Resort Area, Beaches and Cream is a staple in Disney, serving up ice cream, burgers, hot dogs, and more in a boardwalk-style restaurant. Since August, the beloved shop has been closed for refurbishment. And although there has been a temporary location, we’ve been missing this ice cream sundae stop (where else can you get this MASSIVE Kitchen Sink?!). Luckily, it looks like the refurbishment is coming to a close – and Beaches and Cream might be reopening sooner than you’d think!
According to Disney, Beaches and Cream will reopen December 26th, 2019…a late Christmas gift!
The renovations have been going on for a while and the reopening should reveal a new and improved Beaches and Cream with a LOT more space. The updates also include a whole new look modeled after a soda shop with pops of colors like teal, almond, rose, yellow, and blue. Plus, they’re embracing the beachy theme with accents of the coast like beach ball-inspired decorations.
Of course, the vintage space wouldn’t be complete without a jukebox stocked FULL of hits from the past. Grab a stool at the counter and take in the scalloped aqua tiles. Get comfy! You’ll be there a while if you want to conquer the famous Kitchen Sink Sundae!
There are also NEW items coming to the menu! We’re pumped to try out the Seared Salmon Filet Sandwich, French Dip Sandwich, and a bunch of options for Loaded Tots. YAY! There will even be some plant-based options including a burger and a loaded tots choice.
Even better news, there are more sweets coming to the menu. These new options include a seasonal cheesecake, Old Fashioned Apple Pie, and Cookie Fries. Yes, Cookie Fries!!! We’re freaking out too. Sure enough, we’ll be there to get you a FULL REVIEW of alllll the new items.
We are SO excited to see what updates were made at Beaches and Cream, and of course, to put in our favorite ice cream sundae orders when the shop reopens on December 26th! And remember, you can go ahead and make reservations now!
