NEWS: EXTENDED Closure Confirmed for Pool at a Popular Disney World Hotel

One of the pools at a popular Disney World hotel will be closing soon!

Caribbean Beach

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a large hotel located on the Disney Skyliner route. Between its convenient access to transportation and its moderate price point, Caribbean Beach Resort is a popular choice for guests. But if you’re planning to stay there soon, we have an important heads-up about an upcoming closure!

If you’ve stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort in the past, you may have noticed that it’s HUGE. The hotel sections are organized into “villages” to help identify each area of the resort — Trinidad, Martinique, Barbados, Aruba, and Jamaica.

In addition to the hotel’s main Fuentes del Morro Pool, each of the five villages also has its own leisure pool. This can be a convenient perk if you want to enjoy a quick dip without having to hike across the resort, or if you’re looking for a quieter and less crowded pool day.

Barbados Section

If having close access to a leisure pool is important to you during your stay, it’s important to note that the Barbados leisure pool will be closed from July 29th through the end of September 2024.

Guests staying at the resort still have the option to use one of the other four leisure pools, in addition to the hotel’s large feature pool, Fuentes del Morro. But if you plan to spend a lot of time relaxing poolside, you might want to plan around the Barbados section in the upcoming months, or be prepared to have a longer walk to the nearest pool!

On the other hand, if you prefer a more lively pool day experience, the Fuentes del Morro pool may be more up your alley anyway. The feature pool offers daily family-friendly activities, like themed pool games, relays, trivia, and more.
