Hi Robin! Welcome to planDisney!
You have picked a great resort to stay in during your upcoming visit.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort has countless amenities and perks that make it one of the premier Moderate Resorts on Walt Disney World property. The
Fuentes del Morro Pool is themed perfectly and has one of the best kids splash areas around. It is also conveniently located right next to
Banana Cabana, which serves some of the tastiest frozen cocktails you will have. You are also a short trip on the
Disney Skyliner to either
Disney's Hollywood Studios or
EPCOT. It really can't get much better than that!
To my knowledge, the bridges that connect different areas of the Resort do not close at any specific time of the day. I did check with the Resort myself to confirm, and they assured me unless there is a refurbishment ongoing, you will have access to the entire property during your stay.
Currently, there is a bridge refurbishment ongoing that is expected to be completed by the end of January 2022. This consists of the bridge connecting Old Port Royale to Aruba and Jamaica neighborhoods. Disney has supplied an internal shuttle service to help Guests get around the Resort. Since your visit is not until the end of September, this refurbishment should be completed well in advance of your stay.
Do yourself a favor and make an Advanced Dining Reservation for
Sebastian's Bistro. It is a hidden gem and has one of the most creative menus at the Walt Disney World Resort. All of the menu items are seasoned perfectly and packed with intense flavors. I cannot wait for my next trip to be able to go again!
Robin, I hope you have a magical stay! There is nothing quite like having a Walt Disney World trip to look forward to!
See ya real soon!
Greg
