Hello Kerri! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Happy Online Check-In availability! I love how a Walt Disney World Vacation comes prepackaged with milestones to get you excited in installments for your trip.
It has been over 20 years since my parents took to me to Walt Disney World Resort and stayed at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, but I still remember the hike from our room in the Jamaica Section to the Main Pool and Old Port Royale. Like other Moderate Resorts, the sprawling nature of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort make knowing which section accommodates your family needs an important element of planning your vacation.
As far as booking a Preferred Room with the child-sized pull-down bed(sleeps 5) that is quiet yet still close to the action, I would recommend that you request an interior room on the 2nd floor of buildings 24, 25 or 26 (the Martinique Section) or buildings 31, 32, 33 (the Trinidad North Section). Through the
Online Check-In on the My Disney Experience App, select the room location options that correspond to this request.
Additionally, I recommend that you request a specific building by faxing your request a week in advance of your trip at (407)934-2736 or by making a request by contacting Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort at (407)934-3400. Guest Services cannot guarantee that you will receive the specific building or room that you request, but this is (in my opinion) the best way to have your preferred requests granted.
For any scallywags ages 4-12 in your party, the
Islands of the Caribbean Pirate Cruise departs from Barefoot Bay Bike Works several times a week.
Have a Magical Vacation!
