Favorite Options – Disney’s Beaches and Cream

One of these days, I will finally make my way to Beaches and Cream on Disney World’s Boardwalk.  This super popular eatery is home to some very famous Disney dishes!  Just in time for summer weather, Nick gives us some recipes for ice cream treats we can make at home!

Favorite Options – Disney’s Beaches and Cream

By Nick

On Episode 32 of The Disney Exchange Podcast, Lisa, Dave and I share our choices for a progressive dinner around the Epcot area resorts. For those who don’t know, a progressive dinner is a group meal where each course is served at a different venue.

Both Dave and I chose to have our dessert at Beaches and Cream at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club, and that is because the ice cream and atmosphere is wonderful.

My wife, Barbie and I have eaten here many times through the years. I’m going to share some of our favorites, in no particular order.

The No Way Jose. Below is a photo of me encountering this absolutely delicious (especially if you like peanut butter) dessert for the first time!

This “Classic” consists of Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry ice cream, pineapple, strawberry and marshmallow toppings finished off with hot fudge, caramel, toasted almonds, whipped cream and a cherry.

Then there is the famous Kitchen Sink, which is, well…this.

  1. Those may be the largest ice creams I have ever seen. I have been to Disney many times, but never to that ice cream shop! We are going back in October I’m going to have to try it out. Isn’t there a place where you can get the smaller version of the kitchen sink?

    • Yes, I believe the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street USA (Magic Kingdom) had something similar at one time. They may still offer it (I don’t see it on their online menu). We’ll be at WDW in October too! It’s a great time to visit.
