It was first revealed earlier this year that there would be a massive expansion and a lot of refurbishment work to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and now, we have more details. On Tuesday, Disney brought forth the second installment of its “ 12 Days of Disney Parks Christmas Series ,” and it included a lot of information. Now, guests can see concept art and learn all the details of the major refurbishment happening at Caribbean Beach.
While it is already known that there are some advancements being made to the surroundings and landscaping, it is the Old Port Royale Marketplace receiving the most attention. On Tuesday, the Disney Parks Blog revealed the exact details of what is to come by late summer 2018.
Old Port Royale is the center location of Caribbean Beach which will be the “port of entry where guests will check in before embarking on their island vacation.” So many new things are being brought with this refurbishment including a new bar and lounge along with refurbished dining and shopping locations.
The Centertown Market is going to not only be expanded, but it will be enclosed to create a quick-service restaurant that has an “indoor street market vibe.” There will be unique seating areas and a Grab n’ Go area for quick and easy food options.
