Talking about the place, like, oh, I'm going to the Ca RIB bee an. But for the movies, I say Care a BEE an. Kinda weird...

I've always heard it pronounced Care a BEE an in Australia but on American T.V shows it's pronounced Ca RIB bee an. I say the former.

"Ca RIB bee an". that's how i say it. i've always said it that way. i've looked it up many times, and every dictionary shows different pronounciation, but i think "Care a BEE an" is the british english pronounciation. in general, the american english pronounciation is easier than the british english. isnt it? and it's easier to say Ca RIB bee an tha Care a BEE an.
there's a native american tribe that lived in the caribbean islands, and they're pronounced "CARE-bs". Caribs. not "ca-RIBs".
but anyway, i say Ca RIB bee an.

When I'm at Disneyland it's "Pirates of the Care a BEE an", but in real life it's always "I'm going to the Ca RIB bee an! Woo Whoo!"
Anyone with me?
