The Epcot Resort Area is comprised mostly of Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels. The water in the center is Crescent Lake. It’s a beautiful area, and it comes alive in the evening. The International Gateway entrance to Epcot is within walking distance, or you can take a Friendship. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is also a walk or Friendship ride away. There are some fantastic restaurants around Crescent Lake, and that means that there are also scrumptious desserts! Here are eight that you might want to try.
8) Cupcakes, BoardWalk Bakery – Disney’s BoardWalk
There is something special about the cupcakes at Walt Disney World, the pastry chefs seem to take pride in making as many unique creations as possible. At BoardWalk Bakery, you’ll find many delicious choices. You could pick a Mickey Cupcake, or maybe you would prefer a Strawberry Cupcake. The selection can change from day to day, so you might want to stop by more than once to see what is available.
7) Dessert Buffet, Fresh Mediterranean Market – Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
Fresh Mediterranean Market is a bit of a hidden gem. It’s open for both breakfast and lunch, and many people who are not staying at the Dolphin do not know that it is there. That’s too bad, because they are missing out on something spectacular at lunchtime. There is a dessert buffet, and it is complimentary with any salad, wrap, or sandwich. The desserts are bite sized, so you won’t feel guilty about sampling a few of them. They are also delicious.
6) Warm Apple Cobbler, Ale & Compass Restaurant – Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort has a nautical New England theme, which means that Warm Apple Cobbler fits right in. The dish is decadent and simple at the same time. It’s filled with Granny Smith apples, which are a favorite for baking in New England. Buttered streusel adds to the flavor, and it’s topped with frozen vanilla custard. Of course that custard won’t stay frozen long, since the apple cobbler is served warm. The dish is so good that you’ll be tempted to lick your plate.
