Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is such an incredible asset to the moderate resort category at Walt Disney World. It has so much going for it, especially for families who want more than just a place to sleep at the end of the day. Between the relaxed island atmosphere, great dining, fun pool area, Skyliner access, and rooms that can sleep up to five, Caribbean Beach can be a really strong fit for the right family. But — and this is a big but — this is also a resort where the layout matters. A lot.

When planning a trip to the most magical place on earth, your approach will differ greatly depending on whether you’re traveling with children or adults only. Each group has unique needs, interests, and energy levels, which can shape your itinerary, pace, and even your destination choices. Walt Disney World is magical for everyone—kids, families, and adults who are kids at heart.

Both destinations offer incredible experiences, their layout and feel change the type of trip that is best for you. Choosing the right destination can make the difference between a magical vacation and an exhausting one.
