Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Donna. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to see you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in just a few days! You must be so excited.
You're going to love
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. It's one of my family's favorites from the Disney Resorts Collection! We love the tropical views and the laidback island vibe. And my kids rank the
Fuentes del Morro Pool among the very best pools in all of Walt Disney World Resort!
A visit to
Disney Springs is always a must-do for my family's Disney vacations. If you plan on utilizing
complimentary bus transportation to get to Disney Springs from Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, I recommend allowing yourself at least 45 minutes to an hour. The bus ride itself is quite short; just about 10 minutes. Your wait for the bus, though, can vary from mere moments to 25 minutes. If you have a dining reservation, you'll want to then factor in the walking time it takes you to get to the restaurant from the Disney Springs bus station.
If you plan on driving to Disney Springs, I'm pleased to tell you that you can expect free parking when you arrive! It can take some time to find a parking spot, especially on the weekend, so I recommend allowing yourself at least 30 minutes for travel.
Another option is
Disney's Minnie Van Service. It's super convenient! Simply open the Lyft app, select your destination, confirm your pickup location, and tap 'Select Minnie Van.' In just a few minutes, a cute set of wheels and a friendly driver will arrive ready to whisk you away to Disney Springs!
Minnie Vans can accommodate up to 5 Guests, perfect for your party size. One complimentary car seat is provided, which as a mom of a little one, I really appreciate! This
is a paid service, but I've found the convenience and the reliability to be well worth the cost.
Before you leave Disney Springs, be sure to stop by
Amorette's Patisserie for a sweet treat. Their signature pastries are divine!
I hope this was helpful, Donna. I'm wishing you a magical stay at the Walt Disney World Resort!
