The Calypso Trading Post at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort: The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van October 8, 2009
This is the Calypso Trading Post at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. This photo doesn't quite do it justice...most of what you see here has spilled out of the shop itself which you can just see through the arched entry!
Caribbean Beach was the first moderate resort in Walt Disney World. It has around 2100 rooms clustered in six villages of two story buildings named after islands in the Caribbean. The architecture is simple and colorful--just like the islands--and the real beauty is in the lush, tropical landscaping.
The Calypso Trading Post is located in the main building (Centertown) in the Old Port Royale section of the resort. The main pool, marina and the food court are also located there.
