Hi jill! Yay you for booking free dining! As much as I love Port Orleans Riverside Resort, I would switch too to take advantage of that great offer. You'll be happy to know that I've checked the transportation times to all four theme parks from both resorts and it takes less time to get to each park from the Caribbean Beach Resort, so no problems at all! It's really a great resort, and the main pool area is absolutely fantastic.
Caribbean Beach Resort has awesome amenities, including the Old Port Royale Foor Court. It's made up of several separate areas, so everyone can satisfy their hunger with one stop. It's a great deal for a quick serve credit on the Disney Dining Plan, and we've even gone there to eat when we're not staying there!
Just a reminder that restaurants do fill up quickly, especially when the free dining promotion is offered, so be sure to
book your must do spots in advance. Write us back if you need dining recommendations or have any other questions!
Wishing you a magical vacation Jill!
