Disney World's MOST REQUESTED Hotel: Caribbean Beach Resort | Room Tour, Sebastian's Bistro, Review 

I looked up Alan's shirt from the first part of the video and just wanted to say, as a mom of two boys: Thank you for openly supporting mental health awareness for everyone, but in this case specifically for boys and men.

I would like to see a winner picks dinner skyliner addition. In addition to the normal winner picks dinner rules, add one more that you must go to each of the 4 resorts at least once. As someone who usually comes to Disney on a budget, and typically stay at a resort on the skyliner, this would be a fun way to learn about all the different food/beverage options on the skyliner.

Omg. Mollys reaction to the tropical ears was EVERYTHING.

I wonder if Molly’s wedding vows to Alan included “sometimes I have to share the cheese.” 😂

Alan, thank you for supporting and bringing awareness to mental awareness. My 11 yr old son struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. We tell him all the time it’s ok to be sad and that he is allowed to cry that everyone boys and girls cry.

“Dads- here’s your thermostat.” - I lol’d way more than I probably should’ve 😂😂😂

We always stay at Caribbean Beach simply because it's so "affordable" for a moderate resort. And now having the skyliner makes it really convenient! The biggest issue is the bus loop, but we typically stay close to the Riviera and just walk over to their bus stop and back when going to MK & AK.

Just an FYI. They only changed the Trinidad rooms to the undersea theme and you have to book a standard 5th sleeper to get that room. That being said all of the rooms did a get a refresh last year with new flooring etc.

“Sit here till you see every color” 😂 Alan would be there a looooooong time

Alright! Molly and Alan do a staycation vlog on my favorite WDW resort...nice way to start a Friday!

I stayed at Caribbean Beach in May 2022. It was my first ever stay on property at WDW and I loved it! Our room was in Aruba - we stepped out of our room, walked across the car park to the bus stop, which was the last or 2nd to last stop before leaving the complex. We were never not able to get on any of the buses. If we were going on the Skyliner then we were a hop, skip & jump to the Riviera station. We had the choice of eateries at both h resorts which was brilliant! A 10 minute walk to Port Royal reception was absolutely no problem for us. On arrival our luggage was delivered to the room by a cast member, and they collected it from our door on departure day. We only ate in the main grab and go once and in Banana Cabana a couple times - and that banana & coconut bread pudding was to die for!! As a one & only stay at WDW we wanted to stay at a moderate rather than one of the values, which we assumed would be busier with children. We didn’t want to spend more to stay at a luxury resort as the holiday was expensive enough as it was! All in all, I expect it depends on which island you stay in on resort but we couldn’t fault it.

Alan referencing John Mulaney with the bench joke made my day! 🤣

We always stay at CBR bc we are a family of 5. It's so much cheaper to stay there in a 5th sleeper than a suite at AOA or Pop, or two non-suite rooms. Also, the room you had actually IS one that has been "refreshed". Only rooms in Trinidad were done in the Little Mermaid theme; the other rooms were were updated with new paint, new flooring (replaced old carpet), new curtains, and new beds (with room for storage underneath). The best areas to stay are Jamaica and Aruba! Closer to the Skyliner and cheaper than the preferred rooms which are on either side of Old Port Royale. :)

Not the sing along at the end - we nailed that harmony lol

Can we put in requests - because I'd LOVE to see a staycation at Art of Animation?! Pretty please!

This series is so helpful! This is one resort I’ve been hesitant to stay at just because it’s such a large resort.

The singing at the end was the highlight ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We love CBR so much! We have had one issue with the internal bus loop as we always stay in Aruba the 3 MK busses in a row were full so we missed out on early park perks. Live and learn and this summer we are taking a minnie van to MK 😊

I loved the cast members greeting you like that!! How fun!❤

Caribbean Beach was the first Disney resort my family stayed at when I was 7 and the Sebastian Disney song covers are really bringing back the memories. They would play that music nonstop throughout the resort and it’s the main thing I remember from our stay 😂

Hehehe. “9 pieces of whatever we had in our pockets at the time?! Oh yes that sounds very pirate-y!” 😂 I love that little detail

Caribbean Beach is my favorite! Because of the Skyliner, mainly. Sebastian’s sucks. If you get an Aruba room, walking to the Riviera Skyliner is less than 5 minutes and you get to the parks sooo much faster than taking a bus. MK takes a little longer, but Aruba’s the last stop on the bus route, so you’re off to the Springs or MK right away. Convenience to Studios or EPCOT can’t be beat. If that’s important to you, stay at the Beach. 😊❤

We stayed here and my family loved it! My son’s name is Sebastian so he loved eating at Sebastian’s bistro. We live in New York so we don’t mind walking a little bit. My son also liked the 5th sleeper bed so he didn’t have to share with his sibling.

The preferred rooms are the Martinique and Barbados sections. They are not spread out through the resort so the Trinidad Under the Sea rooms are standard. Just FYI for anyone wanting a chance at those rooms! Also, those rooms have been recently refreshed. They removed the carpet, painted and replaced soft goods just a few months ago. I agree they are still dated but I don't think we'll see full refurbishment anytime soon.

One of my favorite resort memories was from last year, my family stayed at Saratoga springs and it was the last night of our stay and everybody else had gone to magic kingdom and I was all parked out. This was two days before Memorial Day so it was super busy in magic kingdom! And apparently my mom texted me saying a lot of the rides were breaking down so I was glad I stayed back. So what I did for my last night on property was grabbed a personal meat lovers pizza from the market place, settled in for the evening and watched some episodes of the The Book of Pooh on Disney plus and afterwards watched the sunset over the golf course on the balcony and read some of my Disney comics I brought with me and in my Disney pjs. Im definitely making that a last night tradition for myself for future trips!

I’m the crazy person who chased you down to say hi! Sorry 😅 it was so exciting to see you guys walk by! We loved our stay here. Thanks for being a wonderful resource while planning our trip, definitely would have never been able to navigate Disney genie plus without you!

19:44 Missed opportunity. "Is this the sink? Am I shrinking?" IYKYK

We LOVED Sebastian's when we went about 1.5 years ago. One notable change is our beef entree was steak. We didn't order any seafood but we loved every part of our meal and it remains one of our highlights of the trip.

It’s 6am and I already want (vegan) coconut-pineapple bread pudding for breakfast! 🥥🍍🍞

I've wanted to stay at Caribbean Beach, but lately ive been hooked on staying at Pop Century lol. But, this resort looks so fun! The tropical vibes really make it feel like a vacation, and the unique food and drink options all sound right up my alley. Unrelated side note: seeing y'all wearing the new merch in the video made me so freaking happy to see!!!!!

One of my favorites is watching the fireworks from the beach in Martinique. It’s a great view sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs with your feet and the sand and no crowds. We also enjoyed swinging in the hammocks.

I feel like the local perspective really skewed your opinion here. As someone who travels from out of state & knows I won’t be in the room enough to bother with paying deluxe prices, Caribbean beach is absolutely perfect. I pay half the price of Riviera, get to use everything Riviera has to offer as well as enjoy all the delicious food at Caribbean Beach. I stay at Pop a lot, but their food sucks. You have to travel to get any good food, which is why the upcharge at CB makes complete sense. I wouldn’t ever recommend it as a staycation, but as home base when you’re from out of town, this is one of the best.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! We’re due to stay there in August for my birthday 🎉

The funniest thing said: “The good news, it does not taste like donkeys.” Hahahaha! 😅

Caribbean Beach is one of our favs! Huge nostalgia factor for me because our one and only WDW vacation when I was a kid, we stayed here and loved it.. and my family stayed here again in recent years. We also booked a preferred room and stayed in Martinique because we had young children and wanted to make sure we were on 1st floor (because of the stroller) and closer walking distance to dining and skyliner. My kids are basically fish and they absolutely LOVED the pool and toddler water play area as well. the playground was under refurbishment when we were there but that would be another perk for us. My kids also stayed up a lil late a few times to watch the movie under the stars. For us its a nice balance between the All Stars where we only stay there on vacays that are go-go-go just wanting to be in parks open till close and the highest end resorts that really aren't in our price point.

Best outro ever 😂

Sebastian's was the first restaurant we ate at during our vacation. We did the walk up wait, I was exhausted but our server was amazing. He realized I loved the pull apart bread with both spreads and kept them coming. The drinks were great too. Hubs got hoist the colors every day at least once and I forgot the name of mine but boy were they good.

Video idea: pet friendly accommodations staycation & bring your dogs 🐕 🐕

I did NOT expect Molly to say “ look I’m Sunny Eclipse”& I practically spit out my coffee . Hilarious lol

Have always stayed at the beach club. Took an extra last min trip last October and stayed at CB. I was shocked at how much I loved it! At night it’s stunning. I could easily lounge and watch the skyliner 😂

Just got home from CBR Wednesday! It’s my fav resort simply for its locale! Another great video Mam Fam!

Your staycation videos are some of my favorites❤

I stayed here last year and loved it. I was in Aruba and for the days I needed a bus I just popped over to the Riviera to avoid the internal loop.

I’m just gonna hold on to the feeling of Mollys reaction to the Caribbean Beach Minnie Ears. That and the honest feedback about Caribbean Beach resort. Love the pool and some of the food but those rooms man….! Thanks for what you both do!

You two are simply the best!

Great video as always! I love all the details you always include. Your honesty is so refreshing! We are currently researching for a new hotel to stay at on a split stay so I am rewatching all the videos in this series! Love the new merch!

"That would be fun...for somebody else" 😂 stealing that one Alan!

We looked at Caribbean Beach Resort for a previous trip and the size of the place put us off. We ended up at French Quarter which is now our absolute favorite resort.

Alan's comment about some of us seeing all the colors on the skyliner had me rolling 😂 poor Alan and his color blindness for all the games he needs color for 😅

I appreciate your Staycation videos. I love seeing some if the places I could never afford to stay at. My 1st vacation to WDW in 2007 had Caribbean as our scrash pad. At the time we loved the overall vibe and the rooms were nice. Prime rib at Shutters was a big win for us. The vastness of the property meant it took some time to get food and transportation. That walk back to the room after a full day was not something we looked forward to. I was disappointed to see the room when you both walked in. For the amount of money spent the room was lacking. My last trip in 2021 was mostly spent off property because the price to stay on property vs off was 1/2 for better amenities. We did stay at All Star Movies for the last 2 nights of our trip and I think that room was better than your room at Caribbean. On property stays at WDW are outrageous. Keep up the great content. You're my primary to get my needed Disney vibes. ❤

Only the Trinidad section has the new Under the Sea rooms

Just stayed there over spring break at the Barbados section. Gotta say, it was the perfect location. 5 min walk from Skyliner. Also, the buses were a complete non-issue. There were only two stops after us for pickups before going to the parks and the buses were practically empty when they got to us. Thought the buses would be much busier based on our experience at Coronado two years ago at a much slower time of year. If we stay at Caribbean again, definitely going to try to request Barbados for sure.

“Dads, here’s your thermostat” had me burst out laughing!

We really enjoyed Caribbean Beach resort. Last time we were there we got a pirate room! I was so bummed to hear they took those out. Banana Cabana is the best. Sebastian's is just ok but, agree that the bread pudding is life changing! I will admit, the reason I loved it so much was that the only parks we went to when we stayed there were Epcot and Hollywood Studios and I could see the Skyliner hub out our window. So, yeah. 🙂

We absolutely love Caribbean Beach

Our favorite resort!!!

No lies Molly. SVU is my go to vacation show 😂

Molly and Alan, pls do a staycation at boardwalk and beach club!!! Love your videos btw 🤭 been binging them recently

Molly doesn't look 35! I thought she was in her 20s!!! Wow. She looks amazing

I ❤❤❤ this WDW Resort!!! I was soooo excited to see the notification for this review! 😊😊😊 We stayed in Christmas 2021, so memorable! Especially the CMs. A manager who played cars on the floor with my ADHD son who was struggling in the gift shop, so I could have a break. For this alone CBR will always hold a close place in my ❤!

Did a split stay at Caribbean and it was lovely! We loved doing the Skyliner (and Joffrey's), watching the fireworks on the "beach" from HS, how they took care of my sister's allergy at Sebastian's., Banana Cabana drinks and the helpful CM's! My grandnephew was leery of the pool and the water coming down from the ship but loved it after a while.

Would love to stay here! Thanks for the great video!

Staying here in May! Scored Topolino’s for departure morning. Looking forward to all of it.

"Dads, here's your thermostat" 😂🤣

Banana Cabana is a total VIBE! we love Caribbean Beach

Loved everything about our stay at this resort except trying to catch a bus in the AM. Great resort for Skyliner park! TY for another great staycation vid!

We just stayed at CBR last week, in a Trinidad refurbed Little Mermaid room. My 6' 16 year old son slept on that little bed, which was hilarious. He was a trooper about it. I vastly preferred the bathroom we had to the one in this video, but otherwise I thought the "theming" was strangely both sparse and tacky. My daughter-in-law is an AP, so we just drove our car to MK and AK and didn't mess with the busses. I absolutely loved the Skyliner; our room had a window facing the station, and I just loved watching the gondolas streaming across. We had a strange experience arriving at our room at about 10:00 PM after a day at HS. We had checked in with the app, but when we tried to open the door it unlocked but was latched from inside. Finally after a couple of minutes fussing with the door and then announcing that I was going to call the front desk, an employee unlatched the door and walked out of our room without saying anything. VERY WEIRD, RIGHT? We were too tired after HS and unpacking the car to do anything about it, but it was unsettling to me.

I've stayed at Caribbean Beach a few times, and it's definitely not my favorite. I will say, it does give off beach vibes, but I live near the beach and can have those vibes frequently so I don't need them at my resort. It's HUGE, so being a "skyliner" resort is a great perk...but if you're really far away from the skyliner it doesn't help. I've honestly never been in the main pool because my room has always been so far away that I just use the quiet pools. I would compare it most to Coronado Springs, but to me Coronado wins by a landslide. They are both massive, but Coronado has the bridge in the center the makes getting around so much easier, and there are just so many food/drink options at Coronado that I've started going there to bar hop instead of Disney Springs. Obviously, I have a lot of feelings about Caribbean Beach lol. It's nice to stay in at least once, a lot of the areas are pretty peaceful because the resort is so huge and being able to walk/drive directly to the Riviera and is a huge perk as well. But, I would pick another skyliner hotel or Coronado over it. Also, you just HAVE to sing Kokomo when discussing this resort. It's a requirement.

Love CBR! Stayed here when I was in middle school so I have great memories. Also, the avocado toast for breakfast is 🤌

My family and I used to stay here when I was younger. Great resort except we always didn't like walking so far every meal time so we started asking for preferred rooms. However, excellent video Molly and Alan! Enjoyed it as usual!

I absolutely love this series!!!!

YAY! Coming to Disney in 1 week from today! So excited! Love You Mam Fam!

Literally sang along atbthe end! Love it

I would argue that a standard room (which are located on the side of the resort by the Skyliner stations) make CBR the best value for any standard room of any resort. Sebastian’s menu doesn’t work for non-adventurous eaters (kids) but we enjoyed it. I’m glad to see MC give CBR some love.

Another great video! Thanks!

Stayed at CB in 2019 and I ate the jersey chicken bowl at least three times- loved it. My kids adored the pool. The only reason we won't stay there again is how spread out the rooms were. We were in one of the furthest rooms from the lobby. Took 15 minutes to walk to main pool. When you forget something in your room it sucked. I asked for preferred room but didn't get it. We were last bus stop too which was nice because it was close to our room and didn't have to go around resort to leave but also it was full when we got on. Pros and cons.

We LOVE this resort! Stayed there back in 2021 and going back for my 50th Birthday this September for 2 weeks!

Love the staycation videos, you should try Hilton head or Vero Beach, still Disney

My daughter and I stayed at CBR in 2020. We were supposed to stay at Pop Century, but it wasn't open yet so they put us at Carribean. We ended up at the absolute back of the resort, and when they told us where we were I was a little bummed despite the upgrade from value to moderate. But we ended up about a 30 second walk from the Riviera Skyliner station, and 20 seconds from the bus stop. It was awesome. We had the choice to catch the bus or walk if we were going to the front of the resort and it was easy to tell Uber where to grab us on the couple of occasions we used them. We loved it. The room was nice (the pineapple table was funny). We really enjoyed a resort that hasn't always gotten the best reviews over the years.

I remember getting lost in CBR after getting off sky liner and my husband scared housekeeping asking for directions. The cast members are very few and far between in that resort if you are in some of the neighborhoods. That's my only CBR memory.

Great video as always! I would love to see you stay at Disney’s Vero Beach. Have an amazing weekend!

Would love to see beach club staycation. Going in September

I loved visiting CBR on my vacation "resort day", but the sprawling layout puts me off of actually staying there. Pop Century is still my favorite; just hop on the skyliner and enjoy the restaurants and lounges at the more expensive resorts.

We opted to stay here before our cruise on the Fantasy at the end of April. Perfect timing for this vlogg! Cheers!

2 days until Disney for me!!! Can’t wait

I stayed there 2 of my visits. I LOVED it. When I stayed they were building the skyliner

We're staying here over my birthday trip in July and I'm SO excited!

You guys are so cute! Before we bought DVC we always stayed at Caribbean Beach. That was a long time ago and looks a lot different now. Thanks for the review.

Oh, wonderful! I'm staying here for the first time in exactly six weeks! I love the Skyliner and I also love walking, so I think it'll be a good choice. 😉😂

We stayed there in 2021 when they still had the Pirate rooms. I absolutely love that resort, such a beautiful and relaxing vibe there.

I stayed at CBR for the first time three years ago because my favorite resort was still closed from covid. I loved it!! I never found the food court to be overly packed. The skyliner is a major plus. It is relatively affordable! People complain about it being too spread out. But after walking 15 miles in the parks, another 1/2 mile to my room or the pool or the lounge is not a problem.

14:41 omg 🤣 the way this was edited is making my crack up. It’s like the hand is his, with those fab nails 💅

As a family of 5 Caribbean Beach is usually our go to as often the cheapest (or near cheapest) option for a room that sleeps 5 and then have the skyliner and we like the food there, etc. We do try to stay close to the Riviera partly to walk over and get the bus for MK/AK from there as it is a dedicated bus vs dealing with the internal loop

We stayed here in May of 2022 and really enjoyed it. We were in Jamaica so it was a great location to be near the pool, via the island, and the skyliner. The rooms have since been slightly updated but I agree, even with the fresh paint, they still seem outdated. But I always highly recommend this resort because of the pool, proximity to the skyliner, and we really enjoyed center town market.

Superb as always both,from memory those chairs all facing the same direction are pointing towards the fireworks at Epcot 🤔🤔 I loved my stay at CBR and even though the bus loop can be a little rough just use the bus app to save time and less hanging around the bus stops.

My family stayed here last year same dates. It was just wonderful. Can’t wait to go back. The Skyliner made this a great location for our Hollywood studios and EPCOT days.

First time we stayed there in 2000 they had Caribbean music playing everywhere quietly which made the long walks fun , that was gone in 2003. Last time we stayed there was 2014 and things had always changed some each stay, but it is very different in Center-town area, and Caribbean Cay was called Ole Man Island before , was more overgrown and spread out seats/benches for privacy and only a couple small playground things for kids. Oh and Banana Cabana was a free standing bar closer to the pool but not accessible from it. I do think the Riviera hotel building ruins the view that used to be there Thanks for showing Caribbean Beach now 😊

Stayed here one time and had a pirate room. Super cute and kids loved it. Not sure why they got rid of them and made Little Mermaid rooms since they have those at Art of Animation. As you suggested we always stay at Pop Century for the price and can get on the skyliner for other dining options.❤❤❤❤😊

36:18 we just booked a cruise for September and I plan on singing that song that WHOLE TIME haha

Before joining DVC this was my go to resort. I love everything about it.
