    Hi! I understand Disney World room types changed since 2025, especially Preferred categories. At Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, are any Aruba section buildings considered Preferred Location Rooms? If yes, which ones? Thanks!

    Hi Gyongyi, and welcome back to planDisney! I just returned from a stay at Caribbean Beach Resort and loved the tropical vibes and easy Skyliner ride to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. So, I’d be happy to chat about your question!

    The Aruba section is one of my favorite areas of Caribbean Beach Resort since it’s close to the Riviera Resort Skyliner station. My family always stops by Le Petit Cafe for coffee and pastries, even if we're not staying at Riviera Resort. And, from there, it’s just one stop to EPCOT on the Skyliner!

    The Preferred Location rooms are closest to the lobby or one of the Skyliner stations. Currently, you’ll find them in Aruba buildings 54, 55, and 56, Jamaica buildings 41, 42, and 43, and all buildings in the Martinique and Barbados sections. The other buildings in the Aruba section have Standard Location rooms. 

    When you’re staying at Caribbean Beach Resort, don’t miss eating at Sebastian’s Bistro. It’s such a hidden gem! The dishes are served family-style, and I can’t get enough of the Buttery House-Baked Pull-Apart Rolls, Guava Butter, and Carmelized Onion Jam. The delicious meal is also capped off with an amazing Pineapple Bread Pudding. As a Disney resort hotel guest, you can book dining reservations up to 60 days before check-in for your whole stay (up to a 10-night stay), so mark your calendar for December!

    I’m wishing you a magical stay at Caribbean Beach Resort next year! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome back at planDisney.
