- colorful Moderate-priced resort
- fun pool, with castle theme and slide
- 42-acre lake, with six "villages" around it
- Parrot Caye Island, with birds and a large playground
Six villages, named for Caribbean islands, are arranged around a large white-sand lake called Barefoot Bay; no swimming allowed, though. A 1.4-mile promenade goes around the lake, good for walks, jogging, or biking.
Hammocks beckon on the beach; you can rent bikes to ride around the lake. Boat rentals are available too: canoes, peddle-boats, sailboats, pontoon boats, and more.
Oddly, the beach was deserted during our visit. The pool, however, was popular: kids like playing on the castle bridge and slide. Another kid-area is the playground on Parrot Caye island, reached by footbridges from the promenade around the lake.
A central area, caalled Centertown or Old Port Royale, has a food court, restaurant, shops, arcade, and the main pool.
Location: the Caribbean Beach Resort is considered to be an Epcot Area resort, though in fact it's about as close to Disney-MGM Studios as it is to Epcot. Nearest resort is Disney's Pop Centure (a Value resort.) The resort is also fairly close to the Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and Downtown Disney.
As with all Disney World Resorts, you can:
- use Disney's Magical Express shuttle to your resort
- use the excellent Disney bus system to/from the theme parks
- enjoy Extra Magic Hour extended hours at one park each day
- have purchases made in the parks delivered to your room
- have assured entrance into the theme parks on crowded days
