Disney’s Beach Club Resort Restaurants Guide

If you’re planning to stay at Disney’s Beach Resort, you’ll want to be aware of your restaurant options before your visit. It’s no secret that this resort is one of our favorites. We do, however, find some fault with the quick service restaurants. The fast-casual options are lacking at both the Beach and Yacht Club and the entire Epcot Resorts area.

With those thoughts in mind, we’ll explore the restaurants at Disney’s Beach Club, including hours of operation, menus, and what to expect. Some dining options might not be so obvious, so we’ll share a few tips. Even with the lack of quick service options, you can do well for breakfast and most other meals without requiring a reservation at a table service restaurant.

The Market at Ale and Compass

Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill

Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill is a quick-service dining location at Stormalong Bay. For those unfamiliar, Stormalong Bay is the pool area shared between the resorts.

  • Location: Stormalong Bay
  • Hours: 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. (Hours may vary, depending on the time of year.)

Hurricane Hanna’s menu consists of items like burgers, chicken nuggets, and salads. Sometimes, they have frozen grapes, which make for an excellent treat at the pool. They have a separate walk-up bar with a few specialty drinks and Disney’s standard cocktail menu. We’ve often ordered food from Hurricane Hanna’s to take back to the room. This spot has always been our go-to location for allergy-friendly chicken nuggets when staying at the resort.

Three lounges are available among the resorts. They are as follows.

Ale and Compass Lounge

Ale and Compass Lounge, the primary lounge off the Yacht Club’s lobby.

  • Location: Yacht Club Lobby

  • Food Service: 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

Crew’s Cup Lounge

Crew’s Cup Lounge is adjacent to Yachtsman Steakhouse. It appears to be a bit of a hole in the wall, but once you spend a few moments inside, you’ll be glad you decided to stop. It’s one of the friendliest places on the property.

  • Location: Next to Yachtsman Steakhouse (Yacht Club)
  • Hours: 4:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.
  • Food Service: 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.

  • Hours: 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.
  • Food Service: 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

Table Service Restaurants

The following table service restaurants are available at the resort.

Ale and Compass Restaurant

Ale and Compass is a restaurant we frequent year-round. If you were to look at our receipts from our last stay, you’d see one line item after another that said, “Ale & Compass.” This is also our loophole location for dining at the resorts because they offer mobile orders.

  • Location: Yacht Club Lobby
  • Hours: 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.*
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

*Ale and Compass serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is open most of the day but closes around 2:00 p.m. and reopens at 5:00 p.m. for dinner service.

Beaches and Cream Soda Shop

Most everyone planning a stay at either Disney’s Beach or Yacht Club will want to secure a reservation for Beaches and Cream Soda Shop. This diner-style restaurant is located directly behind Stormalong Bay.

  • Location: Behind the Stormalong Bay (By the Arcade)
  • Hours: 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. (sometimes 10:00 p.m.)
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

Beaches and Cream serves burgers, fries, grilled cheese, and onion rings. They also have an array of popular sundaes, milkshakes, and banana splits for dessert.

Cape May Cafe

Cape May Cafe is on the Beach Club side of the resort. This restaurant offers two unique dining experiences: a breakfast character meal and a seafood buffet in the evening (no characters).

  • Location: Off the Beach Club’s Lobby
  • Breakfast Hours: 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
  • Dinner Hours: 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

The character meal during breakfast is called Minnie’s Beachside Bash. Characters at this meal include Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Breakfast items include salted caramel beach buns, oatmeal, grits, cheddar biscuits and gravy, omelets, carving stations, fruits, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and more.

Cape May Cafe is a seafood-and-more dinner buffet in the evening. The buffet includes clams, shrimp, mussels, pasta, soups, salads, roasted beef, desserts, and more. Unfortunately, snow crab legs are no longer part of the all-you-can-eat buffet. They can be ordered a la carte by the pound. It’s important to note that dinner service is not character dining.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a signature dining establishment on the Yacht Club side of the resort. It’s so good that it’s included in our list of the best signature dining options at Disney World.

  • Location: Next to Crew’s Cup (Yacht Club)
  • Hours: 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
  • Disney: Menu with Prices

Rapid Fill Mugs

Rapid Fill mugs are available at Beach Club Marketplace and The Market at Ale and Compass. Guests can refill them at any resort’s quick service with a refillable beverage station for the length of their stay. An additional beverage refill station is available at Hurricane Hanna’s. Our guide, listed below, details the beverage options at each of the resorts if you want to learn more.
