I would like to see a winner picks dinner skyliner addition. In addition to the normal winner picks dinner rules, add one more that you must go to each of the 4 resorts at least once. As someone who usually comes to Disney on a budget, and typically stay at a resort on the skyliner, this would be a fun way to learn about all the different food/beverage options on the skyliner.

We always stay at Caribbean Beach simply because it's so "affordable" for a moderate resort. And now having the skyliner makes it really convenient! The biggest issue is the bus loop, but we typically stay close to the Riviera and just walk over to their bus stop and back when going to MK & AK.

We always stay at CBR bc we are a family of 5. It's so much cheaper to stay there in a 5th sleeper than a suite at AOA or Pop, or two non-suite rooms. Also, the room you had actually IS one that has been "refreshed". Only rooms in Trinidad were done in the Little Mermaid theme; the other rooms were were updated with new paint, new flooring (replaced old carpet), new curtains, and new beds (with room for storage underneath). The best areas to stay are Jamaica and Aruba! Closer to the Skyliner and cheaper than the preferred rooms which are on either side of Old Port Royale. :)

I stayed at Caribbean Beach in May 2022. It was my first ever stay on property at WDW and I loved it! Our room was in Aruba - we stepped out of our room, walked across the car park to the bus stop, which was the last or 2nd to last stop before leaving the complex. We were never not able to get on any of the buses. If we were going on the Skyliner then we were a hop, skip & jump to the Riviera station. We had the choice of eateries at both h resorts which was brilliant! A 10 minute walk to Port Royal reception was absolutely no problem for us. On arrival our luggage was delivered to the room by a cast member, and they collected it from our door on departure day. We only ate in the main grab and go once and in Banana Cabana a couple times - and that banana & coconut bread pudding was to die for!! As a one & only stay at WDW we wanted to stay at a moderate rather than one of the values, which we assumed would be busier with children. We didn’t want to spend more to stay at a luxury resort as the holiday was expensive enough as it was! All in all, I expect it depends on which island you stay in on resort but we couldn’t fault it.

The comments on size! Love the walking trails! Wish they had bikes but the quiet pools are great if you need some quiet time. We just stayed in the Concierge level or Hawaii @ the Poly and it wasn’t worth the huge extra cost! Don’t get me wrong loved watching the fireworks from our room and the sunrise but the pools were nuts! I commented to my husband let’s go back to Caribbean Beach. Love the theme! Could use a refresh especially new showers but super comfy and we are going back for Christmas. Can’t go wrong with Skyliner and we ordered Lyfts vs taking the bus in some occasions.

One of my favorite resort memories was from last year, my family stayed at Saratoga springs and it was the last night of our stay and everybody else had gone to magic kingdom and I was all parked out. This was two days before Memorial Day so it was super busy in magic kingdom! And apparently my mom texted me saying a lot of the rides were breaking down so I was glad I stayed back. So what I did for my last night on property was grabbed a personal meat lovers pizza from the market place, settled in for the evening and watched some episodes of the The Book of Pooh on Disney plus and afterwards watched the sunset over the golf course on the balcony and read some of my Disney comics I brought with me and in my Disney pjs. Im definitely making that a last night tradition for myself for future trips!

I stayed at CBR for the first time three years ago because my favorite resort was still closed from covid. I loved it!! I never found the food court to be overly packed. The skyliner is a major plus.

Caribbean Beach is one of our favs! Huge nostalgia factor for me because our one and only WDW vacation when I was a kid, we stayed here and loved it.. and my family stayed here again in recent years. We also booked a preferred room and stayed in Martinique because we had young children and wanted to make sure we were on 1st floor (because of the stroller) and closer walking distance to dining and skyliner. My kids are basically fish and they absolutely LOVED the pool and toddler water play area as well. the playground was under refurbishment when we were there but that would be another perk for us. My kids also stayed up a lil late a few times to watch the movie under the stars. For us its a nice balance between the All Stars where we only stay there on vacays that are go-go-go just wanting to be in parks open till close and the highest end resorts that really aren't in our price point.

Caribbean Beach is my favorite! Because of the Skyliner, mainly. Sebastian’s sucks. If you get an Aruba room, walking to the Riviera Skyliner is less than 5 minutes and you get to the parks sooo much faster than taking a bus. MK takes a little longer, but Aruba’s the last stop on the bus route, so you’re off to the Springs or MK right away. Convenience to Studios or EPCOT can’t be beat. If that’s important to you, stay at the Beach. 😊❤

I appreciate your Staycation videos. I love seeing some if the places I could never afford to stay at. My 1st vacation to WDW in 2007 had Caribbean as our scrash pad. At the time we loved the overall vibe and the rooms were nice. Prime rib at Shutters was a big win for us. The vastness of the property meant it took some time to get food and transportation. That walk back to the room after a full day was not something we looked forward to. I was disappointed to see the room when you both walked in. For the amount of money spent the room was lacking. My last trip in 2021 was mostly spent off property because the price to stay on property vs off was 1/2 for better amenities. We did stay at All Star Movies for the last 2 nights of our trip and I think that room was better than your room at Caribbean. On property stays at WDW are outrageous. Keep up the great content. You're my primary to get my needed Disney vibes. ❤

Just stayed there over spring break at the Barbados section. Gotta say, it was the perfect location. 5 min walk from Skyliner. Also, the buses were a complete non-issue. There were only two stops after us for pickups before going to the parks and the buses were practically empty when they got to us. Thought the buses would be much busier based on our experience at Coronado two years ago at a much slower time of year. If we stay at Caribbean again, definitely going to try to request Barbados for sure.

We were in one of the furthest rooms from the lobby. Took 15 minutes to walk to main pool. When you forget something in your room it sucked. I asked for preferred room but didn't get it. We were last bus stop too which was nice because it was close to our room and didn't have to go around resort to leave but also it was full when we got on. Pros and cons.

My daughter and I stayed at CBR in 2020. We were supposed to stay at Pop Century, but it wasn't open yet so they put us at Carribean. We ended up at the absolute back of the resort, and when they told us where we were I was a little bummed despite the upgrade from value to moderate. But we ended up about a 30 second walk from the Riviera Skyliner station, and 20 seconds from the bus stop. It was awesome. We had the choice to catch the bus or walk if we were going to the front of the resort and it was easy to tell Uber where to grab us on the couple of occasions we used them. We loved it. The room was nice (the pineapple table was funny). We really enjoyed a resort that hasn't always gotten the best reviews over the years.

I feel like the local perspective really skewed your opinion here. As someone who travels from out of state & knows I won’t be in the room enough to bother with paying deluxe prices, Caribbean beach is absolutely perfect. I pay half the price of Riviera, get to use everything Riviera has to offer as well as enjoy all the delicious food at Caribbean Beach. I stay at Pop a lot, but their food sucks. You have to travel to get any good food, which is why the upcharge at CB makes complete sense. I wouldn’t ever recommend it as a staycation, but as home base when you’re from out of town, this is one of the best.

We just stayed at CBR last week, in a Trinidad refurbed Little Mermaid room. My 6' 16 year old son slept on that little bed, which was hilarious. He was a trooper about it. I vastly preferred the bathroom we had to the one in this video, but otherwise I thought the "theming" was strangely both sparse and tacky. My daughter-in-law is an AP, so we just drove our car to MK and AK and didn't mess with the busses. I absolutely loved the Skyliner; our room had a window facing the station, and I just loved watching the gondolas streaming across. We had a strange experience arriving at our room at about 10:00 PM after a day at HS. We had checked in with the app, but when we tried to open the door it unlocked but was latched from inside. Finally after a couple of minutes fussing with the door and then announcing that I was going to call the front desk, an employee unlatched the door and walked out of our room without saying anything. VERY WEIRD, RIGHT? We were too tired after HS and unpacking the car to do anything about it, but it was unsettling to me.

We recently stayed at Caribbean during the princess race weekend. . Would I stay there again? Yes, not my first choice, but I did learn a bit over our stay. The internal bus loop was handy for us because the first stop for us was the skyliner. We mainly went to HS and Epcot. We went to MK in the late morning, so it was easy to get on the bus. Sebastian's Bistro was a highlight for us. We enjoyed each choice and the cast members were very friendly and very intentive of the nut allergy at our table. Bell Services was so helpful. They have vans to help get you and your luggage to your room, compared to other resorts with golf carts. We had a newly renovated room and I can't say that it has improved compared to this room.

I wish our experience was even as nice as yours. I took my daughter there pre-pandemic and we weren’t able to get in to our room until just after 7pm. When we got in, it looked like someone had ridden a tricycle across the bed. 3 long black streaks about an inch wide. SUPER obvious. Then there was beard hair/shavings all over the sink and long dark hair on the bath tub (we are both blondes). I called to tell them about it and they assured me it had indeed been cleaned and asked if we were sure it wasn’t from us (we just walked in the room 5 minutes before). I told them I had pictures of everything and had the text that gave us permission to get in to the room less than 30 minutes prior. They finally said they would come and have it re-cleaned. We waited an hour and a half (almost 9pm) and no one had come to clean yet so I called again. They acted like they had no clue what I was talking about. It was 10:30 and I finally completely stripped the bed for my daughter to lay down on since we had been up since 4am that day. They came in, spent about 5 minutes cleaning it (obviously not sanitized and they still did not get the hair out of the tub!) and walked out without even apologizing and barely even acknowledging me. They gave us a $25 credit after telling them at check out everything that happened after they asked about our stay. Also…bus loop in a NIGHTMARE! Had to go back and forth from our room to the check in desk twice in one day to fix an issue and it took up most of our afternoon. We will stick with the Poly.

I remember getting lost in CBR after getting off sky liner and my husband scared housekeeping asking for directions. The cast members are very few and far between in that resort if you are in some of the neighborhoods. That's my only CBR memory.

I've stayed at Caribbean Beach a few times, and it's definitely not my favorite. I will say, it does give off beach vibes, but I live near the beach and can have those vibes frequently so I don't need them at my resort. It's HUGE, so being a "skyliner" resort is a great perk...but if you're really far away from the skyliner it doesn't help. I've honestly never been in the main pool because my room has always been so far away that I just use the quiet pools. I would compare it most to Coronado Springs, but to me Coronado wins by a landslide. They are both massive, but Coronado has the bridge in the center the makes getting around so much easier, and there are just so many food/drink options at Coronado that I've started going there to bar hop instead of Disney Springs. Obviously, I have a lot of feelings about Caribbean Beach lol. It's nice to stay in at least once, a lot of the areas are pretty peaceful because the resort is so huge and being able to walk/drive directly to the Riviera and is a huge perk as well. But, I would pick another skyliner hotel or Coronado over it. Also, you just HAVE to sing Kokomo when discussing this resort. It's a requirement.

We looked at Caribbean Beach Resort for a previous trip and the size of the place put us off. We ended up at French Quarter which is now our absolute favorite resort.

Beach Club is my resort of choice. We stayed at Caribbean Beach in 2020 after the parks reopened after several trips canceled before and we were desperate. We loved our room location for a bus stop and the Skyliner. Most of our bad points I think were because of restrictions. We were far from the front and all of the CokeFreestyle machines were closed even in the food court but I would have loved being able to use the one by our room. Buses really weren’t bad except for Disney Springs in the evening because the parks closed so early and no park hopping. So everyone wanted to head to Disney Spring so we used Uber. My biggest knock though is the bathroom situation. Super nice big bathroom but I hate that the double sink is in the bathroom. Adds time to our get ready which is bad design.

As a family of 5 Caribbean Beach is usually our go to as often the cheapest (or near cheapest) option for a room that sleeps 5 and then have the skyliner and we like the food there, etc. We do try to stay close to the Riviera partly to walk over and get the bus for MK/AK from there as it is a dedicated bus vs dealing with the internal loop

First time we stayed there in 2000 they had Caribbean music playing everywhere quietly which made the long walks fun , that was gone in 2003. Last time we stayed there was 2014 and things had always changed some each stay, but it is very different in Center-town area, and Caribbean Cay was called Ole Man Island before , was more overgrown and spread out seats/benches for privacy and only a couple small playground things for kids. Oh and Banana Cabana was a free standing bar closer to the pool but not accessible from it. I do think the Riviera hotel building ruins the view that used to be there Thanks for showing Caribbean Beach now 😊

My family and I used to stay here when I was younger. Great resort except we always didn't like walking so far every meal time so we started asking for preferred rooms. However, excellent video Molly and Alan! Enjoyed it as usual!
