Hi Jill (great name, by the way),
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a lush tropical paradise. It is a great place to stay while vacationing at Walt Disney World. I think you'll find that its location will situate you nicely as you travel to and from the Disney theme parks and water parks. None of them are very far away.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a large, sprawling resort so you may want to consider adding a room request to your reservation. Trinidad North and Martinique are the two closest villages to Old Port Royale Centertown. That's where you'll find the food court. The resort's main theme pool is also nearby. If you're looking to minimize walking to these amenities, it would be worth selecting a preferred room in one of these villages.
Do plan to spend some time exploring the amenities at this lovely resort. Just walking along the white sandy beach surrounding Barefoot Bay is sure to be a delightful experience. Consider renting a bike or a private watercraft to explore this resort in depth. I think you're going to love staying here.
If there's anything else you'd like to know about Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, don't hesitate to post a follow-up question!
Best wishes for a vacation sprinkled with extra pixie dust!
Jill
