Hello Holly and thanks for bringing your valued question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I have some very fond memories of staying in the lush island surroundings of
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort with my own dear family and in our experience I'm happy to share we enjoyed the convenience of the
preferred rooms which are located closer by the
Fuentes del Morro Pool and Centre Town in the island villages of Martinique and Trinidad North.
Like you, we also had our own transportation and found that for Guest convenience
parking lots are provided quite close-by to the Resort rooms. That being said, we always love utilising the wonderful and super reliable
Resort Transportation and to be honest prefer a mix of taking the buses and driving ourselves around Disney property. I find that for my family utilising Resort Transportation worked well for the most part, but for early morning breakfast reservations or later evening dining we preferred to drive our own car.
Plus you may not know that Disney has it's very own
Car Care Center which provides Guests with all sorts of motoring assistance including auto repairs and even
car rentals.
Wishing you a magical upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
