Headed to the pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa? You’ll want to stop at Beaches Pool Bar & Grill when hunger strikes. This quick-service restaurant with a prime location next to the pool and the sandy beachfront offers snacks, meals, and plenty of cold drinks for guests of all hunger levels. 

Beaches Pool Bar & Grill Location

Beaches Pool Bar & Grill sits right next to the Beach Pool at the Grand Floridian. It’s also just steps from the lounge chairs along the waterfront, offering easy access no matter where you’re lounging for the day or evening.

Beaches Pool Bar & Grill Menu

You can enjoy lunch, an early dinner, or snacks at Beaches Pool Bar & Grill. Here, you’ll find an array of cocktails, beer, and wine – typical for any poolside bar, of course – as well as salads, sliders, and plenty of sandwiches.

Unlike other pool bars across Disney World’s resorts, Beaches Pool Bar isn’t open very late. While you can grab drinks here until 8:00 PM most nights, the kitchen closes earlier at 6:00 PM. So, if you’re hoping to dine here, you’ll want to do so earlier rather than waiting until later.

When it comes to variety, there’s a good mix of options at this quick-service dining spot. If you’re dining with picky eaters, they’ll love the fact that familiar choices like cheeseburgers, chicken strips, and even Uncrustables are all on the menu, making their decision a little easier

Disney Dining Plan

Unlike some of Disney World’s other resort pool bars, Beaches Pool Bar does accept the Disney Dining Plan. It counts as a quick-service location, which means you can use your Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan credits here.

If you’re ordering a meal, it’ll cost you one quick-service meal credit per person. If you’re opting for a snack instead, you can use one snack credit.

Advance Dining Reservations

Since Beaches Pool Bar & Grill is a quick-service location, you won’t be able to make advance dining reservations (ADRs) ahead of time. Instead, you can stop by and order any time you’re at the pool or beach. 

Beaches Pool Bar does offer the added perk of poolside service, so if you’d prefer to order from your lounge chair, that is an even more relaxed and convenient option.

Is Beaches Pool Bar & Grill Kid-Friendly?

With an atmosphere that’s incredibly relaxed, an outdoor setting, and plenty of kid-favorite foods on the menu, it’s safe to say Beaches Pool Bar & Grill is very kid-friendly. Families will love the convenient options offered here, both for adults and picky eaters, especially for those resort days where you don’t want to leave the pool.

While the hours are a little short here – remember, food isn’t served past 6:00 PM – that’s plenty early to get in lunch or a slightly early dinner for young kids. Overall, with the ability to dine anywhere around the pool or even on the beach, it’s as fun as it is convenient.
