Welcome to the
Disney Parks Moms Panel, Anita! So glad to hear you are planning to visit
Walt Disney World soon!
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is so close to my heart! My extended family and I have stayed there multiple times and we have loved it every time. Since its renovation, it has become more and more popular and, now with the addition of
Disney Skyliner, it's amongst everyone's favorite
Disney Resort hotels!
If you are hoping to book a room with the child-size pull-down bed, be sure to select that as your option when you book your room. If you are making your reservation on the website, you will see several room types listed, be sure to mark either the one called Standard View - 5th Sleeper or Water or Pool View - 5th Sleeper. If you are speaking to an agent over the phone, be sure to indicate that you need a room for five guests.
As for the best buildings, I would say my family has always loved Jamaica and Aruba, because of its relative proximity to Old Port Royale and all the action; yet being close to the Disney Skyliner hub is now an added benefit. When completing the online check-in, be sure to add a note stating your preferences. Disney Cast Members will do their best to try and accommodate your requests as long as availability is in your favor.
Anita, you will love
Disney Skyliner! The ride aboard a gondola gives you a wonderful bird’s-eye view while traveling to
Epcot and
Disney’s Hollywood Studios! It's a super convenient alternative method of transportation and I can guarantee you will want to ride it as if it were one more attraction!
I hope to see you again with more questions as you continue to plan your vacation to Walt Disney World!
See ya real soon,
~Desiree
