Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Ashly. We're so glad to see you again! And I'm super excited to hear you're heading back to the Walt Disney World Resort this year. Yay!
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is one of my family's favorites from the Disney Resorts Collections. We love the laidback, island vibe and the colorful landscape. We love the convenient access to the
Disney Skyliner too! My kids rank the Fuentes del Morro pool among the very best in all of Walt Disney World Resort, so it
is a bummer that it won't be open for your stay, but you can expect to find
five leisure pools, one in each village, throughout the resort. The leisure pools are typically open from 7:00AM - 11:00PM, giving you plenty of time to take a dip. You'll be pleased to know that each leisure pool has complimentary towels and a variety of child-sized lifejackets available. That's less you have to pack for your Disney vacation! Additionally, each
leisure pool area features laundry facilities. To save on expensive baggage fees, I try to pack as little as I can for our family of five. I only pack three or four days worth of outfits for our weeklong stays, and do laundry midweek. What I love about the laundry facilities at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is that I can be lounging by the pool while our laundry is being done instead of sitting next to a machine!
Be sure to check out the schedule for Recreation Experiences during your visit. You can find the schedule in the lobby area of Old Port Royale. My family is always sure to catch a showing of
Movies Under the Stars!
I hope this was helpful, Ashly. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation! As always, we'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
Ashley
