A look at the re-imagined Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney World
Construction is complete for the new re-imagined Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney World with a new port of entry and lobby and three new food and beverage locations.
Here’s a quick look at the changes that have taken place.
Old Port Royale
The Old Port Royale complex has been reimagined as a new port of entry for the resort. Guests arrive at Old Port Royale via an all-new porte-cochere, where they are welcomed into a colorfully reappointed lobby under an open-trussed roof and a colonnade with floor-to-ceiling drapes. Cast members are available to help guests check in to their rooms and answer questions. Near the entryway is the new Calypso Trading Post, offering favorite Disney merchandise and everything they need for their vacation.
Sebastian’s Bistro
The new Caribbean-inspired table-service restaurant has waterfront views. The restaurant is adorned with coral patterns and kelp filigree to lure-inspired art and nautical designs. The menu blends Latin and Caribbean flavors into bright, fresh tastes ranging from seafood and steak to salads, sandwiches and burgers. Signature items include:
- Skirt steak “chimichurri” with crispy yuca
- Citrus-stuffed sustainable whole fish with turmeric brown rice and cilantro-lime vinaigrette
- Sautéed shrimp and tamales with roasted peppers and salsa verde
- Arepa with slow-cooked pork and chili-mango barbecue sauce
- Crispy avocado-and-bacon burger with chimichurri and pico de gallo
Vegan options include an island curry “eggless” salad sandwich on multi-grain bread, as well as a plant-based banh mi sandwich with pickled vegetables.
To finish the meal, tropical fruits elevate decadent desserts, including:
- Banoffee Pie – Banana custard, chocolate ganache and graham cracker tart with caramel sauce
- Milemarker Zero – Iced key lime pops with sea salt and tropical sauce
Sebastian’s Bistro also offers island-inspired cocktails with Caribbean rums, as well as a customizable rum flight.
Centertown Market
This fast-casual restaurant has a new indoor island street market vibe. Guests enter under a large, palapa-like structure modeled after a traditional Caribbean thatched roof. The market specializes in customizable Latin- and Caribbean-inspired dishes; with these made-to-order bowls, guests choose their base, protein and sauce, available for both breakfast and dinner.
Centertown Market also features farm-to-table salads, Sicilian-style pizza and a variety of sandwiches and burgers. Children have Pirate Mickey waffles and French toast for breakfast, and chicken breast nuggets, tacos and grilled cheese for dinner. There’s also an egg popper – a hard-boiled egg pop with green pirate juice, roasted pineapple and bacon.
The market’s beverage island features Coca-Cola freestyle machines, freshly brewed coffee and a selection of teas. Draft beer and single-serve wine and cocktails are also available.
Banana Cabana Pool Bar
This pool-side bar offers exclusive cocktails with premium spirits, including the Pink Guava Colada with rum, guava purée, pineapple juice and cream of coconut. Kraken Punch mixes black spiced rum with blood orange sour and pomegranate and orange juices.
Caribbean beers are also available, along with a variety of craft and traditional beers, as well as premium white and red wines. Non-alcoholic specialty drinks feature fruit juices and tropical flavors, including the Tropical Paradise, which blends pineapple, coconut, cinnamon and lime, dusted with nutmeg.
