Making room for pirates? <Rumor or REAL?>


Jason Garcia and Scott Powers|Sentinel Staff Writers|August 4, 2008


Walt Disney World has unveiled a rendering of, and a few details about, renovations in the works for part of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, to re-theme the rooms using the company's popular Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Beds that look like ships. Dressers that look like old crates. Curtains that look like tattered sails.

Disney is planning the look for 384 rooms in the Trinidad South Village Area, set to be ready sometime next year. The resort has a total of 2,112 rooms.

They have to do something with that area. It's a haul to port royal. Hope they add a soda station.

There is a recent thread about this... it has photos of the other part of the refurb also, which you might enjoy. I think some rooms are Nemo themed, and some will be pirates.

I thought the resort was sort of boring and run-of-the-mill for Florida. This sounds awesome! I would so stay in a Pirate Room. Arrgh.

It looks pretty cool, I like pirates! Hope they don't go too overboard though...I'm not sure about beds looking like ships.

Zactly! Of all the moderate resorts, I found this one the most "blah". I'm glad they're doing something fabulous with it! This will renew interest!

You must not be 7 years old, because I happen to know some little kids that will think that's the ONLY way to sleep!

I guess the Nemo ones are done and the pirates rooms will be finished in early 2009. They look good, both styles! I love the wall border on the Nemo rooms that are done. TOO cute!
