    What would you choose? IS AOA truly better than All Stars? Can you switch resorts last minute?

    We like All Stars and Pop, and I would say the actual resorts are comparable. Of course Pop has the Skyliner, which we love, so it is our first choice. It is very convenient to Epcot and DHS- when it works. As others have said, the skyliner is dependent on weather, and it can shut down very...

    If we go to Hersheypark during the day, can we walk to the Giant Center that evening for an event there?

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    At this point they have started remodeling the rooms that were pirate-themed in Trinidad. They are located at the end of the property closest to Pop Century. They are not far from the Skyliner station, but are a bit of a walk to the main building/ main food court. There is a smaller quick...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    It felt OK to us, space-wise. But there were only two of us and we have gotten used to staying in values so the rooms at Caribbean Beach are obviously slightly bigger than value rooms. With all the beds open, there is not a lot of room to get around. It really just depends on your family and...

    JetBlue out of RIC (Richmond, Va) - how is it?

    I actually agree with this! The vast majority of the time we do drive from Richmond to Orlando. We consider it a very doable drive and in a lot of ways it is simpler than flying for us. For our “ regular” week long family vacation for 4 people we always drive. We fly if only one or two of us...

    JetBlue out of RIC (Richmond, Va) - how is it?

    I have flown Jet Blue out of RIC several times, most recently a few weeks ago. I have never had a problem, other than once the flight was a couple hours late. Of course that does not mean there could not be winter weather issues so I can't say how they would handle any issues. I agree that RIC...

    Jetblue relocation at orlando airport

    We took Mears out of Terminal C last week. The van went to Wdw with only a stop at Gaylord Palms first. It was a little less organized than I remember the old ME being. We checked in at the Mears desk and they had all the passengers wait together for a van and we All got on seemingly...

    Caribbean Beach Resort Pirate Room Refurbishment

    We just finished a stay at CBR and we’re in a newly refurbished Trinidad former pirate room. We were in building 39, the last building in Trinidad. I think it is the only one finished as of now. The closest three buildings to us, 36,37,38 I think, were still being worked on right next to us...

    I don’t have any way to measure exactly but that size seems about right. I think the mattress is too short for most adults.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We booked a standard view fifth sleeper. Right now only one building looks done. A few more are being worked on and are blocked off. We did not book a pirate room. There are several pirate buildings that look like they have guests in them still.

    Sure! It seems very similar to the Pop Century and All Star Movies rooms we have stayed in.

    Here is a photo with the fold out bed put away. It makes a good surface for eating as well. Even better would be an extra chair or two to pull up to the sides.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We have no chairs and only a coffee table. We have the 5th person pull down bed and also it is a connecting room so the connecting door takes up space as well.

    How long will line be for ROtR at rope drop?

    If you are staying onsite and can take advantage of the half- hour early entry for resort guests, then rode dropping Rise can work to minimize time in the Rise queue. But you have to get there very early and be at the front of the line, and yes you will be waiting for the park to open. We...
