As best as I can think, Caribbean Beach is the only WDW hotel of any level that doesn't have an inside bar (Old Key West's is sort of outside but not completely outside like a pool bar) Doobie.

There was no such thing as a moderate when it opened and it was vastly less pricey than others, so it didn't even have a table service restaurant. The Captain's Table, which I never did dine at, was shoehorned into the food court maybe 4 years or so after opening once Port Orleans and Dixie Landings came onboard with full serve dining. That location was subsequently removed in the major renovation early this decade and Shutter's, which is quite good, replaced it albeit at the opposite end of the building. There never was a real bar inside.

We've tried to eat there but each time they don't have an opening til after 8:30. We never seem to remember to add that to ADRs.

Originally Posted By Doobie I can picture what you mean. That area still seems to be there now, just not used as a public bar. It's inbetween the Shutter's eating area and kitchen. But the area is laid out weird so now I can understand why. Thanks. Doobie.
