Photos: Calypso Trading Post with Resort Branded Merchandise

Calypso Trading Post is the gift shop at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. It features fun resort-branded merchandise as well as other souvenirs and sundries.

During our last stay at Caribbean Beach, I stopped at Calypso Trading Post for a few photos. These photos will give you an idea of what items were available. Naturally, certain items, like apparel and accessories, eventually sell out, so not everything you see pictured will be available when you visit.

However, pantry and other grab-and-go items tend to remain staples. Photos of those items will give you an idea of what to expect and where to pick up something if needed. These kinds of things are always nice to have nearby in case you need a snack or forget something from home.

Calypso Trading Post is located at Old Port Royale, the lobby of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. The shop is usually open from 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. It’s a sizeable shop with a good deal of Disney-branded merchandise.

Toward the front corner of the store, you’ll find a section with resort-branded merchandise. This is always my favorite area to browse. Each resort gift shop usually carries a few items that represent the resort.

Here, we have several items, including tumblers, t-shirts, Minnie Ears, and ornaments.

Several of the resorts have ornaments. These have the entrance to Old Port Royale on the front with the lighthouse. Then, Mickey and Minnie are featured inside the resort on the backside. I’m pretty sure that Caribbean Beach magnet is still in my suitcase, wrapped in layers of tissue paper.

Since the weather occasionally turns chilly this time of year, we see a number of sweatshirts and other Disney-branded apparel for all sizes.

Since it’s Caribbean Beach, you’ll likely find a few men’s tropical button-up shirts. You might need one to wear to the Banana Cabana or for a Skyliner resort hop.

Here is a section with princess-branded clothing and accessories.

Like most gift shops, you should find a decent selection of hats and baseball caps.

Disney Munchlings still seem to be pretty popular. Here are a few mixed in with kitchen housewares.

If you didn’t realize you could swim in December (unless it’s unseasonably cold), you’ll find an entire section with swimsuits and, most importantly, goggles. Other items you’ll need on any given day are also available, like sunscreen and sunglasses.

Here is a selection of MagicBands and MagicBand+. Update: We visit the resort gift shops often, and the regular MagicBands have been phased out. These few that were available during our last visit have now sold out. They are the ones with the white package.

Like most stores, there’s an area with toys, plush, and other children’s items.

Here, we have more plush and a section with autograph books, journals, sketchbooks, and pens.

Pin collectors will find a couple of displays to browse. I only took this one photo, but several displays were available.

Inside the shop, everything was displayed well. I was glad that it was not packed full of merchandise and that you could see everything.

Toward the back of the store, merchandise shifts from apparel to pantry and food items.

A refrigerated section is home to a selection of beverages and a few snack items.

As always, lots of Disney-branded candy is available.

We saw items like Doritos, Tortilla Chips, Ruffles, Lay’s, and various dips. These are the perfect snacks after a late night in the theme parks.

Disney-branded popcorn, specialty tea, Walker’s shortbreads, and more make up this display.

Here, we have a small selection of groceries like baby food, jams, jellies, peanut butter, canned soup, crackers, cereal, bread, and a large selection of pastries. If you have picky eaters, you might use a few of these items to prepare a simple meal. If you need a microwave, there is one available for guests to use in nearby Centertown Market.

Healthy and beauty items include toothpaste, medicine, razors, and more.

Pull-ups, diapers, and other items are also available.

Behind the register, you’ll find a case with various liquors. This is also where you can pick up a Rapid Fill mug if desired. They are refillable at any resort quick service (that has a refill machine) for the length of your stay. We have a refillable mug guide for Disney’s Caribbean Beach if you want to learn more.

Overall, I was impressed with Calypso Trading Post. While it’s a fairly plain gift shop, it’s well-maintained, and I don’t think it would be difficult to locate anything.
