Disney World may be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but that doesn’t mean things can’t go wrong from time to time.
Whether it’s a ride malfunction, a technical glitch that disrupts how you pay in the parks, or something else — we’ve seen some mishaps occur in Disney World occasionally. Recently, a kitchen fire broke out at a popular dining spot but Disney shared that Cast Members and guests were safe. Come with us to see how Beaches & Cream is serving guests the day after experiencing a kitchen fire!
After a kitchen fire broke out at Beaches & Cream late on January 2nd, guests were evacuated from Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. We received these videos courtesy of Russell Jessup Stough.

Cast Members and guests were unharmed, and Beaches & Cream was able to reopen today! We stopped by to see what service was like and if there were any updates to the menu.
When we walked up, we noticed that desks and kiosks had been set up just outside the restaurant entrance, near the Beaches & Cream To Go Window! It looked like this was where the restaurant was taking and serving orders instead of their typical table service indoors. Guests were being instructed to order at the register and would then pick up their orders at the window.
Because of the fire, the many elements of the kitchen were unavailable, so a limited menu of items was being offered. Here’s a look at the modified menu:
Cast Members were uncertain how long Beaches & Cream would stay like this, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye on the situation and let you know of any changes!

We’re so glad that no one was harmed and that Cast Members and guests were able to evacuate and stay safe.
