Welcome back to planDisney, Susan! We're so glad you're here.
I'm happy to let you know that
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop is open for lunch, as well as dinner! Lunch is served from 11:00 AM - 4:55 PM and dinner is served from 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM. This retro soda fountain shop is a popular choice for Guests traveling to
Walt Disney World Resort and
advance reservations can get booked up quickly. I'm so sorry you haven't been able to find a lunch reservation!
While I'm not sure when you're traveling, my best piece of advice would be to keep checking back! As Guests' plans can sometimes shift and change, there's a chance that availability might pop up as you get closer to your trip. I've even had luck getting reservations the day before or the day of my desired reservation! I like to keep a tab open on my computer and refresh it a few times each day to see if anything new pops up. You can even find a few reservation finders online (both free and paid versions), if that's something you're interested in, too!
Susan, I'm wishing upon a star that your upcoming trip is an extra special one! If you have any other questions, please write back again – we're always happy to help!
You've got a friend in me,
Michelle
