Disney’s Caribbean Beach Entertainment Update

Disney has continued to bring different experiences back as the resorts and parks go through their phased reopening stages. While we were at the Caribbean Beach, we noticed that the playground had opened for the first time since the resort’s official reopening!

Playground

Currently, only ten guests are allowed at a time in the area as a health and safety precaution. Guests must wear masks and remain distanced from one another as well.

We also noticed that a few of the seating areas at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort were back open for guests to kick back and relax in the shade!

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Food Update

Since distancing measures are in place at the restaurants and bar areas around Disney World, Banana Cabana had added more outdoor seating for guests at the resort.

The tables are separated from one another as guests sit to eat or drink after a day in the parks!

We hope you’re ready for lots of seasonal goodies because Le Petit Cafe at Disney’s Riviera Resort has added a bunch of new options to its menu for the holidays! You’ll be able to find an adorable seasonal cupcake

…and a dessert that we have unofficially named the “Christmas Cracker!”

“Christmas Cracker”

The Christmas Cracker has an interesting combination of flavors with a pistachio tart, brownie and cherry reduction filling, and chocolate ties and medal on top for $5.99.

However, the seasonal Christmas Tree Cupcake is a little more simple (but still sweet!) as a vanilla cupcake with chocolate fillingbuttercream frosting, and mini M&Ms for $5.99.
