Hi Rick, and welcome to planDisney!
Congratulations on your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! Whether you are staying off or on property, I have no doubt that you and your family are excited about the memories you will create. That is what matters at the end of the day.
Yes, you can enjoy an ice cream or any number of yummy desserts at
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and you do not have to be a guest of the resort. If you are up for the challenge, you can try the Kitchen Sink at
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at
Disney’s Beach Club Resort, though my family and I failed and could not finish it. When you arrive at the resort, let the security guard know why you are there, and they will let you know how to proceed.
We are here if you need us to answer any additional questions.
Have the most magical experience!
Raquel
