Can you walk from the Skyliner to Beaches and Cream?

If you are staying at a Skyliner resort, take the Skyliner to Epcot. You'll be dropped off at International Gateway at Epcot. From there you can walk to Beach Club Resort. If you plan on taking a bus from your resort, you can take a bus to Hollywood Studios.



Yes, you can easily walk from the Epcot International Gateway Skyliner station to Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. The walk takes about 5 to 8 minutes and follows a scenic, paved path along the water past Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. After exiting the Skyliner, you simply follow the path toward the Beach Club; the restaurant is located near the spectacular Stormalong Bay pool area. This is a very popular "hack" for guests staying at Skyliner resorts (like Riviera or Art of Animation) who want to grab a famous "Kitchen Sink" sundae or a burger without needing a park ticket, as the restaurant is located outside the Epcot entrance gates. Because it is a small venue, having a reservation in 2026 is highly recommended, as walk-up wait times can often exceed an hour.
