This is a great and fair review. I appreciate your perspectives and the pros and cons. I would love to see a video of the different playgrounds at the resorts or at least a reel of which resorts have playgrounds and which ones do not.

They are actually doing a light refresh on the rooms now. Martinique is done, Jamaica is being worked on now. New paint, floors, curtains, and the beds are now raised so you can store luggage under them. Hopefully they are checking to make sure the plugs and stuff like that are working

We just stayed at the Caribbean Beach 05/02-05/05 and would defiantly stay there again, we had an updated Mermaid room in the Trinidad section. The food was good and my daughter loved the main pools with slides not to mention you can watch the fireworks from the pool. You are correct the food at Riveria is better.

I love that you were so honest in this review! We have rented DVC points for years. We usually stay deluxe and are admitted Disney hotel snobs. Our stay here pretty much solidified that. I agree with pop century being a better choice as far as the updates in the room. The kids loved the splash pad and skyliner access is 👌🏼 But dark and dungeony nailed it!

Why they made a beachy resort feel so dark on the inside makes no sense to me. 🤷🏻♀️

Oh! And if you do this, I would love to know how far away these buildings are from the main pool, sky-liner, etc! We stayed at the mermaid at AOA last year and that wasn’t too bad IMO.

You walking around reminds me of the videos Christy Carlson Ramano was doing. We stayed her last year and we enjoyed it a lot. Doing the Bus system first thing in the morning was not as much fun. People tend to show up last minute and push in front of those that waited for a long time. That's more of a complaint on people more than the system itself lol

Depending on the building in that section yes you would be one of the further away sections. You are talking a 3-5 minute difference though so not terrible.

Question... is it possible to take the skyliner to Epcot, then get on the MK monorail to MK?
@thepixiedustedmom Жыл бұрын
Yes and no. You can take the Skyliner to Epcot but you would need a park pass to enter the park, walk through the park since you would have to enter at International Gateway instead of the main park entrance and then head over to Magic. It would be more complicated than helpful in most cases.
