Skyliner

The Skyliner hub is found right here at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! Get whisked away to either EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios in no time!

Pool Options!

The Caribbean Beach Resort’s main aquatic attraction, The Fuentes del Morro Pool, is often bustling with activity! With 2 pool slides, water cannons, a shipwreck play area and poolside activities– it’s often the life of the resort. 

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing– as most kids seem to love it. But if you’re looking for a much quieter poolside atmosphere, definitely check out one of the five leisure pools located within each island of the resort.

5th Sleeper Rooms

From standard rooms to Pirate-themed rooms, Caribbean Beach can conveniently accommodate families of five with their 5th-sleeper bed option. This jr-sized murphy bed folds down for easy access and easily folds back up to save space.

Bus Transportation

Waiting at a bus stop then circling the entire resort and stopping at every island for a pick-up or drop-off isn’t anyone’s cup of tea. Be sure to give yourself a buffer of 15 – 20 minutes extra travel time so you arrive on-time to your park destination!

If your room location is close to Disney’s Riviera Resort, consider utilizing their bus stop for faster service.

Prepare to Walk!

Depending on where exactly your room is located, you may have a longer walk than others to Old Port Royale, the Skyliner or the Bus stops. Thankfully, if your room is far from Old Port Royale, you’re probably pretty close to a Skyliner hub– so it’s a trade off!

No Elevators

There are no elevators in any of the buildings at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. However, the buildings only have 2 floors. If you have mobility issues or need to bring a stroller – be sure to put in a request for a 1st floor room!
