Hiya Jolene,
Welcome to planDisney! I’m so happy that you are here and that I get to help answer your question today! It sounds like you have a great day planned!
Topolino’s Terrace is one of my favorite places to dine at Walt Disney World Resort, and while my family has yet to tackle the Kitchen Sink at
Beaches and Cream, it is still on our bucket list!
To ensure
parking is available for registered resort hotel Guests, parking is limited to 3 hours for Guests accessing the parking lot for dining reservations, Jolene. If you are parked at the Riviera Resort for over 3 hours, your vehicle may be towed from the parking lot, even if it is only 2 additional hours. If it were me, I would park at EPCOT after my dining reservation at Topolino’s and then walk over to Beaches and Cream. For one, that would help me walk off my meal a little and free up some space for the Kitchen Sink, and second, it would prevent me from parking for longer than 3 hours. Then, if I still wanted to check out Art of Animation, I could take the Skyliner from the area near International Gateway. Then, when I was done exploring, I could head back to EPCOT to enjoy
Luminous or Test Track as an added bonus.
I hope this was helpful, Jolene. I know I added an extra item to your itinerary list, but it may be worth it to have some peace of mind. Before I let you go, don’t forget to get a dining reservation for Beaches and Cream. Since it is such a small dining location, walk-up reservations are not always available, so having a reservation will ensure you and your family have a chance at the Kitchen Sink. If you need anything else, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
