New Disney World question
[I'm bumping this out of Bix's thread, since that discussion seems to have ended.]
Has anyone ever stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort? Recommendations?
What's the difference between their standard view rooms and preferred rooms?

I've stayed at Pop Century (when I taped WWTBAM) and the Beach Club. The Beach Club is very nice and I love the sandy bottom pool.
I believe that the Caribbean Beach Resort falls between the two in terms of amenities.
Here are some reviews that I found:

Re: New Disney World question
I would find a map of the property and then request a room near a bus stop and the main lobby, as it is a large layout and the far edges of the resort are a long walk from check in/out. Can't remember which wing we stayed in, but the rooms are the largest of the moderate resorts. Decent food court and one full service rest., which was ok but not overwhelming. When I get home I'll try to find a link to some advice on the best buildings, as I recall that the bus picks up in one area first at all times, meaning if you're at the bus stop that gets picked up last, you'll always be standing.MarleysGh0st wrote:[I'm bumping this out of Bix's thread, since that discussion seems to have ended.]

Re: New Disney World question
Thanks, T-Bone. The reason I'm asking is because I've been talking to MarleysSister on the phone. They've decided to put together a last-minute trip to WDW (June 6-15) and were wondering if I'd like to come down, too.T_Bone0806 wrote:I would find a map of the property and then request a room near a bus stop and the main lobby, as it is a large layout and the far edges of the resort are a long walk from check in/out.
When we last talked, she had a hold on a reservation; I'll have to check this evening if she confirmed that. If so, I'd want to request a room in the same village they've got (whatever one that is). So part of what I'm wondering is if the preferred rooms would be different villages from the standard rooms--closer the the amenities, as you've mentioned.
I haven't found any specific description of the differences.

Re: New Disney World question
Good advice on the bus stop! My bus always went through Port Orleans after picking us up at the French Quarter and yes, the last ones picked up wound up standing.T_Bone0806 wrote:I would find a map of the property and then request a room near a bus stop and the main lobby, as it is a large layout and the far edges of the resort are a long walk from check in/out.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Here is a link to my favorite Disney site, All Ears net.
This is a direct link to the Caribbean Beach Resort Fact Page. It seems to answer most of your questions. There are also pics of rooms and other parts of the resort if you click around a bit.
As you click around the main site (www.allearsnet.com), you can also find links to the menus of all of the WDW restaraunts, including the ones at Caribbean Beach. Happy hunting!

Well, thanks for all the advice, but this trip's off, at least for now.
They thought about it more last night and decided that the expense, the flight connections, etc. were just too much. Not much of a surprise that trying to book a last minute vacation to WDW at the start of the summer finds a lot of the hotels booked up.

I think Marley was asking a new question about Disneyland, not a question about new Disneyland.
