My girls were excited thinking they would have snow to play in. It was nothing but characters dressed up behind little snow and some snow blowing behind them. They were disappointed.

Our only complaints are we wish you could get either an appetizer or dessert on the dining plan, and my 8 year old wishes she had more options. Other than that, it is a must for us. We get to eat at places we would never pay for or take the time to make reservations on our own.

We arrived almost an hour early. We weren't sure how long it would take plus we wanted to walk around. The staff was wonderful they seated us immediately. Our waitress was Kelsey, she took her time with us explained the specials and gave us her recommendations. I had the chicken, my husband had seafood pasta, daughter had Jamaican chicken sandwich with homemade chips, my youngest had the kids grilled chicken meal. She brought out warm bread to start that was excellent. If you like sweet tea, we highly recommend it Our meals were wonderful, everything was great. The banana bread pudding is mouth watering. We were stuffed from our meal but couldn't stop eating the bread pudding. This restaurant is a must for our next trip.

Good food, not as good as I expected. We ordered individual pizza, chicken, pasta and kids spaghetti and meatballs. Our meal came out within minutes of ordering, just seemed way too fast lime it wasn't made fresh. Pizza was cool, not hot. Probably won't be on top of our list to revisit like some others we love.
Pros:
Nice staffCons:

We stayed January 17-21, 2013. We were happy with our overall experience at Caribbean Beach Resort. The negatives are I paid extra for a water room and we could only see the water if we walked outside, I felt it was a waste of money for the upgrade. We could hear the toilet flush in the rooms beside us, and could hear outside noise. There was a big gap between the door and wall when door was closed. I guess our room was booked on the day we left because we had 3 people try to get in and clean starting before 8 am, that was aggravating since we were trying to sleep in a little bit. My girls loved the pool, it is heated so was nice to swim in January
The beds are small. Plan to walk a lot if staying here. It takes at least 10 minutes to walk to get drinks, snacks. The rooms were clean. Nice place I think we will try another place next time.

We went for lunch on Jan 14th (I think that was the day) and while our server did ok, he certainly did not extend himself to do excellent. I had the salami and provolone appetizer, which was good, husband had the risotto balls, which we did not care for. FIL had the caprese, which he liked a lot, and MIL had the shrimp and bean appetizer which all of us found a little odd. Kids were offered a salad, which they declined. Again, adults can have anything they want, but kids can only get what Disney deems healthy enough. For entrees, husband and MIL got pizzas, which they enjoyed. Kids had cheese pizza, which they ate, and said was ok. I had the candlestick pasta, which is glorified lasagna, and was merely ok. FIL had the chicken parm. . which was dry and awful. For dessert I had the ricotta fritters, which were essentially donut holes, and they were good. FIL had the Italian soda float, which was good, husband had gelato which he said was ok, not great and MIL had tiramisu . . which again, was ok, not great. daughter had ice cream. Overall, it was ok, but not a place we'd go back to. I felt both the selection and quality could have been better for a place touting to be authentic Italian.

Firstly, we had reservations. we arrived a few minutes early, and checked in with the fellows under the brown umbrella and were given a ticket and told to wait. 20 minutes later after having watched no less than a dozen parties walk up and be seated, I asked the boy why our wait was so long.. . and he said 'oh those people have reservations'. . . .and I said but WE HAVE RESERVATIONS. . . .and he quickly took my ticket and turned to his computer and with NO apology whatsoever, got us in a little while later. Our server was great, but we were already angry, tired and hungry and had sat outside in the cold for half an hour when others who had reservations after us had been seated. We were in the ice cave and it was incredibly noisy. It was also very crowded. No appetizers for the children. . .. I had the flatbread which was the best part of my meal. . . .husband had the wings, which he said were ok. the inlaws said theirs were ok as well. I got the chicken with gnocchi and it was nasty. Husband had the chicken fried steak, and he said it was good. Daughter who is nine finally said she had to get out of there because of the noise. We had the big dessert and the two sorbets, none of it was good. So we had a rotten experience at the check in, a great server who did try her best and mediocre food. The decor is cool, but so not worth it for that meal. The only really good thing was the cotton-tini's I had.

This was our last meal on a ten day trip to Disney, on Jan 19th. We liked our server, Moses. Service was sometimes a bit slow, but we attributed that partially to him having a very large party, and several tables. He was very nice in accommodating my picky kids. I liked the decor, but the place was just downright NOISY. We were hoping for a somewhat quieter meal but no, it was just as noisy as most of the other Disney restaurants. I had the mushroom phyllo appetizer, and it was good, husband had the prawn and grits and liked it. We both had the filet and they were both cooked exactly to order and very good. We both had creme brulee for dessert and it was also very good.
