Welcome to planDisney Ali, and thank you for stopping by with your question! How exciting that you’re planning a stay at
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. With its vibrant island atmosphere, central location, and access to the Disney Skyliner, it’s a fantastic choice for families of all sizes and I’d be happy to share more about what accessibility features you can expect during your stay.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is designed to be handicap friendly, offering a range of accommodations and amenities to support guests with mobility needs. The resort spans a large area with multiple "island" sections. All common areas, including the lobby, dining venues, and shops, are wheelchair accessible via ramps or step free entrances. However, it's important to note that the guest room buildings are two stories tall and do not have elevators. Therefore, guests who cannot use stairs should request a first floor room when booking. All wheelchair accessible rooms are located on the first floor to accommodate this need.
The resort offers wheelchair accessible rooms equipped with features such as roll in showers with pull down bench seats, grab bars, and wide doorways to facilitate ease of movement. These rooms are designed to provide comfort and accessibility for guests with mobility challenges.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort serves as the central hub for the
Disney Skyliner gondola system, which connects to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Skyliner is wheelchair accessible, with separate boarding areas where gondolas can be stopped to allow guests using wheelchairs or mobility devices to board safely. Additionally, the resort provides bus transportation to all Disney theme parks and Disney Springs. All Disney buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps, and each bus stop at the resort has a designated area to facilitate boarding for guests using wheelchairs.
The
Fuentes del Morro Pool includes a zero entry side and an ADA compliant pool lift, making it accessible for guests with mobility needs. Each of the resort's "island" sections also has a quiet pool equipped with an ADA lift. These features ensure that all guests can enjoy the resort's recreational offerings.
Given the resort's expansive layout, guests with mobility concerns may want to request a room close to the main building, Old Port Royale, or near a Skyliner station to minimize travel distances within the resort. While the resort offers internal shuttle buses, it's advisable to plan ahead to ensure convenience and comfort during your stay.
Ali, I hope this helps as you prepare for your upcoming trip! Wishing you a truly magical time at the Most Magical Place on Earth. If any other questions come up, you know where to find us. See ya real soon!
