Screamscape reported a rumor yesterday that Disney World officials are contemplating adding some Pirates of the Caribbean themed suites to the Caribbean Beach Resort.  For those who don’t know, there already are similarly themed units at the Disneyland Hotel.  Here’s a photo…

I have heard similar rumors for quite some time now, but not specifically at the Caribbean Beach.  The Disneyland version has reportedly been successful, so this would seem to be a logical addition.  It makes plenty of sense.  Such a renovation is relatively cheap, already been tested, and could re-awaken the public to the Caribbean Beach Resort, which is the oldest of the moderate offerings.

The problem I have is that Disney is once again catering to those with loads of expendable cash.  I believe this can go for as much as $2500.  I got a better idea.  Parts of the Caribbean Beach Resort are in need of some refurbishment.  How about we turn one of the sections into the Tortuga or Port Royal from the films?  (Maybe even both, as this idea has serious potential if I do say so myself.)  You can place decorations in the current rooms similar to those from the suites, give the whole place a coat of paint, add a pirate’s playground for the kids, and dress the pools up.  Then we can bring a fun, new hotel experience to guests that may not have cash falling out of their ears…like me.
