Resort Thread Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH Resort

We will be getting to the resort early morning and want to go directly to MK, how would we manage checking in?

We can stop at the resort around 8 or 9 am but might not be able to come back until after park close after 9pm. Can we check in during the morning and find out the room in the evening or would no one be there to check us in?

Are you from Canada or the US? If from the US you can get a text but Canada you can only get an email and that's not even guaranteed.

Does anyone know if playing beach volleyball at Martinique is still an option?

Until they come up with a barrier of some sort the beaches are completely closed. So as of now no beach volleyball.

You can check in as early as 6AM. If your room is not ready, you can leave yourluggage with Bell Services. They will text you your room number number once your room is ready.

That is great! This puts me at ease. Thank you so very much.

I'm in the US, so hopefully the text will go through but either way in theory our room should be ready before evening, hopefully. I can always call the hotel from MK in the afternoon to make sure.

Since your from the US I wouldn't worry about it, they will text you, but yes in theory your room should be ready before the evening.

Woo! I made it through this whole thread! I'm pleasantly overwhelmed with all of this great info! We snagged an awesome deal with Free Dinning and this will be our first stay here - or at any mod as far as that goes - our home is usually ASMovies. We are SO excited!!! I am disappointed to learn about the no hammocks/beaches. I do understand why, but I hope they return before our trip in December - as the beach factor was the deciding factor in us booking this resort. Sounds like on the whole you guys love this place and I can't thank you all enough for all the tips and info!!!

I know no one knows for sure, but does anyone have any idea what kind of permanent solution they are looking at for the beaches? We are pretty bummed about no beach access. We were looking forward to lounging in the hammock and letting our daughter play in the sand. We were going to stay at Wilderness Lodge but then decided that the beach and atmosphere at Caribbean Beach would be a lot of fun. Kind of bummed that one of the major selling points of the resort isn't going to be available after all.

The latest I've heard is that the fence/signs are up at the GF and cast members are on watch at the other beaches on property. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that they will do the same on all beaches.

Is the Trinidad South quite pool open now? Thanks

Does anyone know if the hammocks are still there? I've heard the newest thing is that the beaches will be closed from dusk til dawn. Just wondered if hammocks would be in use during the day

Been reported that the hammocks are down right now.

I just saw a picture on Facebook of the "temporary fencing" that is being installed at the CBR. Looks the same as the fencing that has been installed at Grand Floridian.

If beaches are closed from dusk till dawn can you still view Epcot fireworks? I promise I'm not trying to come off an insensitive, the whole thing is so unfortunate... but really the draw for this resort was the ability to use hammocks, watch fireworks, and generally enjoy the beachy feel... (I feel like I'm sounding incredibly selfish here, I promise I'm not trying to be!)

I didn't see your post as being insensitive or selfish. As you said, this whole is thing is so unfortunate. There are several places around the resort where you can watch the higher Epcot fireworks. You could always sit at one of the picnic tables or umbrella chairs in the Old Port Royale courtyard and watch them.

We sat on the deck at the Jamaica pool. And no, not insensitive.
