Disney's Carribean Beach Resort
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is a resort which is located in the Walt Disney World Resort. It is located in the Epcot area of Walt Disney World, close to the waterpark Typhoon Lagoon and is classified as a moderately priced resort. The resort started operating on October 1, 1988.

The Caribbean Beach Resort is designed with a Caribbean theme. Guests stay in one of the small apartment buildings that encircle Barefoot Bay, a 45-acre (180,000 m2) lake. Buildings are grouped into one of six villages, with shared resources, each named after an island in the Caribbean: Martinique, Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, Trinidad North, and Trinidad South.[1]

Resort facilities are located at Old Port Royale, a building that contains restaurants, a food court, arcade, and two gift shops.

The shores of the bay feature beaches, hammocks, and other activities such as beach volleyball. The resort also features various water sports at the Marina, where resort guests can rent various watercraft, such as paddle boats and speed boats by the half-hour.

Each village has its own swimming pool and some also have their own playgrounds.

Most rooms have two double beds, a table and two chairs, a wardrobe, a telephone,a hairdryer, a bathroom with a shower and bath and a toilet, double sinks outside the bathroom, a safe, a mini-fridge, a chest for shoes, and a television. The rooms are decorated in a Caribbean style. In 2008, Disney began work redesigning several hundred of the rooms to a Finding Nemo theme. In January 2009, Disney refurbished 384 rooms in the Trinidad South village. These rooms have a pirate theme.

When reserving a room, there are three room view options. Standard view is generally of a courtyard or parking lot, while water view is a view of one of the pools or beaches. Preferred room is closest to the Old Port Royale services, while offering either a water view or courtyard/parking lot view.
