My family and I are big-time Disney World visitors. Having been Orlando residents for the last 13 years, we have taken advantage of our close proximity to the parks and themed hotels. That said, there are still tons of things we still don’t know about Disney World and learn about new improvements and specials all the time.

Sleep in a Pirate Bed

This past summer, our friends booked and invited us to one of the Pirate-themed hotel rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. Our reaction: “Disney has Pirate-themed hotel rooms???” We had NO idea. My ignorance is now your bliss. You’re welcome.

If your kid or spouse is pirate-obsessed, the Pirate-themed rooms at the Caribbean Beach Resort are the perfect weekend getaway destination. Not only do the headboards look just like a pirate ship, but the in-room refrigerator is inside of a rustic-looking barrel and the shower has a Black Pearl image “carved” into the sides. Nearly every decorative feature of the room is in some way themed after pirates. Not a single detail is left untouched by a pirate.

When you’re ready to leave your pirate room, head down to the pirate ship at the Caribbean Beach Resort pool. There are 2 water park-sized slides and an entire pirate area for toddlers and young children.

October and November as well as April and May are ideal times to visit Disney and the Pirate-themed rooms with cooler weather and smaller crowds. Call 407-WDW-MAGIC or book online.
