what can we expect of weather normally
in March...swim or freeze?
as for disney%26#39;s carribean beach resort, heard some nasty things..any thoughts.
Also - is it recommended to rent a car. We have one reserved and thought it may be better than relying on their transport.
thanks in advance.
Mar11-18and Dis. Carib Resort..Hello cptguy,
March%26#39;s weather is generally in the high 70%26#39;s with nighttime temperatures in the middle 50%26#39;s so bring long pants and sweatshirts. The pools are nicely heated so you should be able to enjoy swimming.
The Caribbean Beach is my second favorite of the three moderate Disney resorts. I prefer the Port Orleans Riverside. But I certainly didn%26#39;t find the Caribbean Beach to be ';nasty.'; It was very clean with a beautiful tropical feel. The pirate themed pool is a favorite with the kids especially the boys.
If your staying on Disney property and only going to be going to the Disney parks I wouldn%26#39;t waste your money on a car rental as my experience with Disney transporation has been impeccable since I began my travel there 15 years ago. And now with Disney%26#39;s Magical Express which is free transporation to and from the parks you can%26#39;t go wrong. To have your luggage brought to your room and not have to hassle with it to and from the airport is a added benefit.

We go each year in March and have always been blessed with great weather. It is typically around 80 in the day and 60 at night (give or take just a few degrees on each-sometimes a few warmer and sometimes a few cooler). We always swim. All Disney hotels and water parks have heated water.
While Port Orleans Riverside is our favorite moderate resort, I don%26#39;t think that Caribbean Beach warrants any fears. We just like the feel of PO better and really really enjoy it%26#39;s boat launch to Downtown Disney.
If you are just going to be visiting Disney parks and attractions, I wouldn%26#39;t spend the extra money on a rental car. Disney%26#39;s tranpsortation system is great, you don%26#39;t have to fight any traffic, and you get picked up at the front of your resort and dropped close to the park gates.
The only reason you would need a car is if you plan to go to a lot of different hotels for meals, or if you plan on going to the grocery store. It is much simpler to take the Disney buses to MK. If you drive to MK, you will park in the MK lot, then get on a tram which takes you to the Trans.%26amp; Ticket Center, then you get on the monorail, and it lets you off near the MK entrance. The Disney bus will pick you up near your room, and let you off right near the MK entrance. Most easier and less hassle!!!
The weather can be cool or warm. Keep checking orlandoweather.com for local weather forecasts.
I have stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort, and it was just fine. It%26#39;s larger and more spread out than some people like, but we didn%26#39;t find it inconvenient.
When reading reviews for Disney resorts, double check the date the negative reviews were written. It seems like Disney had a real problem property-wide with resort quality in 2004. There were issues with housekeeping, maintenance, etc. I stay on property at least three times a year, and I noticed that in 2005, things improved immensely. The cast members in all areas not only seem to have improved the quality of their work, but there has been an upswing in attitude as well. There will always be one or two unsatisfied customers no matter where you stay.
The only reason you may want a rental car is if you are leaving Disney property frequently, either to shop or visit other theme parks. If you are planning to spend most of your time on property, a car isn%26#39;t necessary and you can spend the money on other things.
