Hi there, Jess! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! We enjoy planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation almost as much as we like experiencing it! It sounds like you are in the planning stages right now, so let's get to it!
I'm just going to say it: I love
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. I think it is one of Disney's most under-appreciated resort hotels. It has beautiful beaches for relaxing, a zero-entry pool with two slides, Latin-inspired menus, and access to the
Disney Skyliner! I think you've made an excellent choice! Rooms with 5th sleepers (in the form of a pull-down bed) can be found throughout the resort, but primarily in the Aruba, Jamaica, and Trinidad sections. While all of the rooms received a refresh, some rooms in the Trinidad area have been refurbished with a subtle Little Mermaid theme.
When you make your reservations, be sure to note your location request. You will get the opportunity to check in online, so be sure to note your request there, as well. There is an option to use a chat feature during this process, both online and in the app. Feel free to do this and express your desired room location to them. Upon arrival, speak with a Cast Member at the front desk to see if they were able to accommodate your wishes. While they certainly can't grant every request, they always do their best!
I simply can't talk about Caribbean Beach without recommending
Sebastian's Bistro. Actually, I never shut up about it. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Walt Disney World! Tropical vibes, an island atmosphere, and slow-cooked mojo pork - what could be better? The coconut-pineapple bread pudding is worth the trip alone!
If you have the opportunity during your stay, walk over to
Disney's Riviera Resort. The mosaics as you walk from the Skyliner station to the resort are stunning. My kids love the burgers at
Primo Piatto, the quick-service dining option at the Riviera. I also hear that their cookies are really good!
Oh, Jess, I am so excited for you! I know that you are going to make magical memories that will last a lifetime! As you continue your planning, please let us know here at
planDisney if you have any more questions!
Always Dreaming -
