Hello Wendy!
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is one of my family's favorites. We stay there at least a few nights almost every trip. It is a beautiful property and has such a great theme. I hope you adore it as much as we do.
When I call to make room requests, I usually request what I am looking for in a room instead of a certain section or room number. If you let them know you want to be as close as possible to
Old Port Royale, then they have several options instead of sticking to just one section. Usually, we find ourselves in the non-preferred section of Martinique or in Jamaica, although there is no guarantee. You may call Disney Reservations at anytime to make your room request, however, when calling the resort directly, you must wait until 10 days prior to your arrival.
Thank you for stopping back by the Disney Parks Moms Panel and asking your great question. If there is anything else we are able to assist you with, please don't hesitate to let us know. Have a wonderful vacation, Wendy!
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
