Transportation

Caribbean Beach Skyliner Station

Bus transportation is available to all Disney World guest areas

The Caribbean Beach is one of the resorts that has Disney Skyliner gondola system for transportation to Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios.

The Caribbean Beach is the main Skyliner hub. There are 3 separate lines which run from CBR to:

Disney Hollywood Studios
The Riviera Resort and Epcot

When heading to the theme parks during the morning rush, you will only have to wait in 1 line. Those coming from Pop/AoA wait in line there and then go to the back of the line at the Caribbean Beach Station!

Our Thoughts

MDT Approved

This Disney Resort Hotel is a Military Disney Tips Approved Resort!

We’ve stayed here several times over the years, some older nostalgic trips when the kids were younger, and most recently in late 2019 after the big remodel. It’s a big spread out resort, but we really enjoy it. The main common area is great and the new Skyliner is a big plus!
