Onto the Banana Cabana Pool Bar! This pool-side bar features an outdoor lounge where you can gather for some food and refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The lounge is inspired by the festive culture found in the Caribbean, mixing a relaxed sitting area with a lively bar. Cabana-style drapes flank the seating groups and re-purposed steel drums will showcase a central communal table made from a wooden boat.

Will there be gluten free options available at caribbean beach, including mickey waffles?
We will be there october 2020, my 1st time as a coeliac.
Thank you, Karen
The breakfast options look great!
That “Sicilian pizza” looks like it sat under a heat lamp for a brutally long period, and then was refrigerated to congeal what little moisture remained from the sauce. After seeing that picture, there is no way I’d order it!
CraidInPA, these are press pictures and probably made off site and have been transported and sitting there for a while. It is silly to make a decision on the freshness of something from a press picture. Why don’t you go there and look at the pizza coming out of the oven before you decide.
In fairness to Craig, press photos usually are supposed to look even better than the actual product t entice the consumer to buy. I think this still looks like a tremendous upgrade at the resort though.
When completed, I’m sure the place will be up to the usual Disney Standards. However, at the moment the temporary arrangements fall well short of what you would expect. More like an army mess room with sub-standard food, poorly presented and eating area like a work canteen.
We’ve been here for a fortnight and only ate in centretown once. Due to poor options. Instead, we’ve opted for Disney Springs or one of the parks each morning. Not ideal when your party includes a three & four year old. We were hear two years ago and experienced something more like the “Disney Experience”. Bill
Bill Irvine — I’m sorry to hear it, but I’m not surprised at your experience. I really do think Disney dropped the ball on this one when it comes to providing acceptable dining options for guests at Caribbean Beach during the renovations. I hope the rest of your trip has been more magical.
CraigInPa — Ha ha — yep, the magic of Disney World press photos ;-D That’s why we like to go directly to the restaurant when it opens and get pictures to share with our readers of what you ACTUALLY get when you order in the restaurant. Sometimes it looks better…sometimes it doesn’t ;-D
Hi Karen — Yes, there will be gluten free options, and likely Mickey waffles. We can’t confirm until it opens, though.
