    Caribbean Beach, for sure!!!!! 🎉❤ But also, the “room-requests” are just that…. Requests. You aren’t guaranteed to get what you request, it depends on their occupancy at the time.

    The Skyliner was one of our favorite additions to Disney World to date! It’s basically an attraction all its own 😂

    I have stayed at both and here are my thoughts! POP is the best bang for your buck on property IMO - we will be staying there for a 4th time this upcoming April/May. The skyliner alone is worth upgrading from the All Star resorts! It is also worth mentioning that POP only has one Disney bus pick up/drop off location, where Caribbean Beach has several around property. It is much easier to catch a park bus at POP. Caribbean Beach's pool is one of the best on property. We opted for a preferred room at Carribean Beach and got placed smack dab between the skyliner and main lobby - could not have asked for a better placement. However, with this in mind, it was still a considerable amount of walking even for a preferred location! The 5th sleeper room was perfect when my family of 3 brought my in-laws along. My theory - we don't spend enough time in our room to justify a deluxe resort - so we opt to stay a few extra days at a moderate resort with the best transportation options possible!

    Thank you for sharing your tips with us! I agree, it’s hard to beat the price of POP (unless you have a family of 5+)! We do love when we stay here! Caribbean Beach has such a fun beach theme, and you have a great point about the multiple bud stops around each island! Thanks for talking Disney with us, hope to see you around in the comments!

    CBR! Beautiful grounds, very relaxing, not all crammed into motel 6 buildings. Nicer pools….larger rooms. More of a resort feeling. We come from the west coast, so our stays are usually 10-14 days Pop new rooms are nice, they did a great job on the renovations but rooms are still tiny, and I couldn’t see 4 in those rooms. Also the satalite pools are awful. We were near the computer pool, and it’s just a cement hole in the ground. My local community pool is nicer. There’s zero landscaping and what you’d expect from a motel 6.

    Our room was very outdated, dirty and the bathtub leaked about a foot of water when we stayed at CB in January. The grounds are pretty at CB, but room was much more clean and up to date at Pop Century.

    Oh no! I’m sure that wasn’t very fun to find out your room had flooded! Hopefully they were accommodating and got you into a new room quickly? Yeah the rooms at POP were renovated not that long ago so they are pretty up to date! I’ve never had a dirty room at a Disney resort, but I’m sure it happens!

    is the square footage per room bigger at caribbean? we love pop century. but we just stayed at All Star Movies with the suite and it was awesome! buses were on time and didn’t wait that long. felt faster then the sky liners

    POP century rooms are about 260 square feet - Caribbean Beach rooms are 314 square feet, which does make a difference for us with 5 people in our family. I think more than the square footage, the second sink is what really helps us out at Caribbean Beach! It’s true, sometimes the busses can be faster, if you time it right and depending on the time of day. Although the skyliner is way more fun for the kids 😊

    Caribbean Beach doesn't have elevators...was told that by a cast member who worked there so if you are handicapped or need a scooter to get around due to a disability dont book Caribbean Beach. They cannot guarantee a first floor room.

    Why compare a moderate to a value? I personally will never stay Arab value again. So noisy. Caribbean beach is a good moderate with the Skyliner a great bonus. But my favorite is port Orleans Riverside. I might do my own comparison of Riverside to Caribbean : moderate versus moderate.,

    I thought that it’s interesting since we have a family of five, to us Caribbean Beach actually IS the value resort to us, and POP is more expensive since at POP we would have to book two rooms. Plus these are both on the skyliner which we love staying on! If you make that video please let me know, I’d love to see it!

    Yep! For us as a family of 5 Caribbean Beach is actually much cheaper than a “value” resort because we can sleep 5 at Caribbean Beach. Otherwise we would have to have two rooms since they don’t allow more than 4 at POP per room. Art of animation has rooms for more than 4, but get more expensive. However, that’s a while other video!… 🙃
