Caribbean Beach Resort

As we continue to countdown the days until we depart for our trip to Walt Disney World, I decided to look up all of the fun recreation and activities at the resort we are staying at – Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. We picked this resort for our trip because:

1)      Although I had stayed at this resort on a family trip when I was 13, we wanted to check this one off on the list of places we have stayed together. Plus – it was been remodeled since I visited with my family.

2)      It’s close proximity to Epcot. Since we are going for the Epcot Food & Wine Festival, we wanted our transportation time to be short so we could enjoy the park more. We looked into “renting” DVC points, but unfortunately for us all of the Epcot site resorts were already booked. And we looked almost 6 months in advance!

3)      Although this is definitely a large resort, we thought the island feel would be more romantic than some of the other Disney resorts. We are going in celebration of our anniversary, so we wanted to come “home” to something peaceful and romantic after a hectic day in the parks.

After looking further into our resort, we are very excited about the following amenities/activities:

-          The variety of pools. Each grouping of rooms is named after one of the Caribbean Islands and each one has its own pool. This is convenient in case we are not close to the larger resort pool. Especially after a long day at the parks, sometimes we just want to take a quick dip to cool off and relax, but don’t want to hike it across the resort if the pool is not close to our room.

-          Beach campfires. We thought this idea was so cool and have never participated before at a Disney resort.

-          Jogging Trail. I know this sounds ambitious (and it probably is) but we like the idea that we have an option to run while we are on vacation that is outside and safe. Running on treadmills is boring and we were very happy to hear our resort has a nice trail around the property bay.

-          Centrally located food court. This will provide us the option to buy breakfast/snacks before heading off to the parks. And, according to the resort map, the food court is close to one of the bus stops – perfect!!!!

Very excited to experience this Disney resort in 3 months!
