For those taking a longer Disney World vacation, I always advocate that you build a resort day into your trip to unwind, relax, and enjoy the amenities and activities offered. And in Caribbean Beach Resort’s case, there are so many different ways to enjoy a resort day. Here’s our top 5 picks to enjoy a day at CBR!

1. An indulgent day! Shop ‘til you drop at Calypso Trading Post and Straw Market, then park yourself at the Old Port Royale pool or your village’s quiet pool. Later on, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Shutters Restaurant.

2. Harken back to your childhood. Take your family on a picnic lunch on Caribbean Cay and play Pirates with the old Spanish cannons! Then play to your heart’s content at Goombay Games Arcade.

3. An active day! Go for a jog or rent a bike to traverse the 1.4-mile Barefoot Bay promenade, then get your friends or family involved in an intense volleyball game in Barbados. Top it all off with a few laps in the pool … or you could skip that and enjoy the 12-person Jacuzzi spa at Old Port Royale.

4. Take advantage of the water! Head out on Barefoot Bay for a two-hour, private catch-and-release bass fishing session. Or feel the wind in your hair with a boat rental from Barefoot Bay Boat Yard and Bike Works.

5. Let the kids have an adventure. Send your child off on his very first Pirate Cruise, then park yourself at the pool and relax. Or, let her get her longed-for decorative hair wrap!
