Hi Marcee!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I actually think you will make very good use of the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan during your stay at Disney's Beach Club Resort next year. You will be in a prime location within easy walking distance of Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's BoardWalk and EPCOT! At your Resort hotel you will find
Beach Club Marketplace and just next door at Disney's Yacht Club Resort there is
The Market at Ale & Compass. If, like me, you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a cake and a pastry, you could walk (or take the boat across) to
BoardWalk Bakery. There's something very enjoyable about enjoying a seat outside in the sunshine, while you enjoy your breakfast before heading over to the theme parks. You can also take a seat outside
Pizza Window and watch the world go by.
If you would like to venture into EPCOT, you will be an easy stroll away from the International Gateway entrance, and inside the park you will find several
Quick-Service locations - click on any restaurant, and then click again on View Menu to see if the food would suit your family. I always make a beeline for Starbucks - there is one at every park, and two at Disney Springs. They trade under different names at the parks, so at EPCOT look for Traveler's Cafe (Starbucks) which is located at Showcase Plaza. Please take a look at this
EPCOT Guide Map to see where all the restaurants are located, before you arrive. Quick-Service meals are also served at Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion.
Just beside the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT is a
Disney Skyliner station. This is such a fun new way to travel around Walt Disney World Resort - I have heard some people say it's almost like another attraction in itself. You could easily take the Skyliner to four other Disney Resort hotels along the route, and enjoy some Quick-Service dining there too. You can use your Quick-Service credits at these restaurants: Primo Piatto at the newest hotel: Disney's Riviera Resort; Centertown Market or Spyglass Grill at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort; Landscape of Flavors at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, and Everything POP Shopping and Dining at Disney's Pop Century Resort.
