Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Thanks to its moderate pricing scheme and recreational activities, the Caribbean Beach is a great choice for families. The resort's rooms are spread across five villages (all Disney moderate resorts share a similar general layout) of pastel-colored buildings, each named for the islands of Aruba, Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, and Trinidad (north and south). Try and snag a corner room here if you can, as they let in more light, but don't bother springing for a pool view (those rooms can get noisy). The lush tropical greenery adds a touch of island atmosphere. Parrot Cay, the resort's main pool area and playground, is themed to an old Spanish-style fort, complete with water cannons, water slides, and waterfalls. The closest park is Disney MGM-Studios, though it can take up to 45 minutes to get there using Disney transportation -- it's best to rent a car if you stay here.

Facilities:Restaurant; food court; lounge; large outdoor heated pool; 6 smaller pools in the villages; kids' pool; beach; jogging trail; volleyball; Jacuzzi; watercraft rentals; multiple playgrounds; arcade; WDW Transportation System; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; limited room service; babysitting; laundry service.
