Hello, Tanya!
Staying at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is truly like staying on a tropical island! The theming is incredible. Although it is the largest Disney Resort hotel on property, Cast Members do a great job to ensure Guests have a reasonable travel time to and from destinations.
You can expect longer travel times during holidays or special events as crowds tend to swell during these times. To account for traffic and unexpected delays, I like to allow at least 60 minutes when using
Walt Disney World Bus Service to travel from my Disney Resort hotel to the entrance of a theme park. If you plan to dine inside a theme park, then I would allow an additional 30 minutes, so you have plenty of time to go through the security/bag check area and walk to the restaurant. I would rather arrive a little early than be rushing or late to my destination.
As you plan you, keep in mind that there are early morning buses for Guests who have
advanced dining reservations before park opening. Be sure to ask at the Front Desk or Concierge for the exact times of these buses. Another option would be to take a taxi if you feel that time might be an issue.
I hope this helps with your decision. Please visit us again should you have additional questions!
Happy Planning!
