Hiya Joshua! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear that you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort later this year. December is a great time of the year to visit, especially with all the festive experiences that are taking place!
Oh boy! You are staying at one of my favorite Disney Resorts hotels on this upcoming trip. I have to admit, I only recently found out just how amazing
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort really is. During the 4th of July holiday this past year, I stayed in a 5th Sleeper room in the Aruba section of the resort and loved everything about it. Not only did the resort room have everything we needed, the
Fuentes del Morro Pool was such a blast. Having Banana Cabana only steps away and access to plenty of food and drink options inside the main lobby was the perfect combination. We could have spent our entire vacation at the resort alone!
Joshua, you are correct. The rooms in the Trinidad section of the resort have been recently renovated and are now themed to the Little Mermaid. I was able to tour one of these rooms since a friend was staying there and I was very impressed by the re-theming of this space. Currently, Cast Members are working on other buildings at the resort, but these are just refurbishments and not complete re-theming as we saw in the Trinidad section. If you do receive a newly refurbished room, I would expect some of the items in the room to be updated but still have a similar look as they do now.
During your visit, I hope you get the chance to eat at
Sebastian's Bistro! This dining location is located onsite at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and has one of the tastiest menus around. They offer an assortment of flavorful meats and sides that are topped off with a delicious dessert, the House-made Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding. Definitely put this on your short list of Advanced Dining Reservations to make!
Have a magical time during your stay, Joshua!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
