Our little thread of BIG Resort Changes~2013 Spring RC installment

[pas130]

Stopping in on my phone. Major issues here with DS12...being bullied and he was inappropriately touched. I have nothing else to say, but I am a mess. This is how Bree's birthday ended. Girls have no idea, and the party was a success. I made a change, with DS12 and that isn't even taking the sting away

Miss E`I love the before and after pics! We didn't love CBR, but loved Pop

Jen~TOMORROW!!!!

BFF~Love ya!

DznyCrzy~Happy birthday!

Wookie~YAY for tix, and monorail worked during Christmas party...TAKE THE BOAT!!

Melissa~Almost summer my friend!

Well, we are packing and doing last minute running around, and have done online check in with the airlines! We are almost good to go, just have to get the DD's home from school, fed, showered, off to Girl Guides tonight, and into bed right away when we get home!

Now I just have to stop worrying about those darn flies at Disney right now!!!


AT THIS TIME TOMORROW WE WILL BE LANDING AT MCO!!

I would pay $60 more and stay at CBR!! We stayed there in 2009 and liked it.

Here is my two cents, take it for what it is worth

I did like CBR, the decor, the atmosphere, the food court, etc...but my biggest complaint was how big the resort was and how long it took us to walk to the food court and to catch the buses. Now keep in mind it was a long time ago and I was pushing a carriage and carrying a diaper bag, so without the crap probably not as bad. Rooms are bigger than Pop and I think they have queen size beds now (but I am not positive). Hmmm, why do I think from here you will just end up at AKL for the entire stay

Miss, hey no killing here my friend!! This princess wants her friends to be happy wherever they stay! And $60 is not much to switch to a mod...

Only visited CBR ... it is a large resort like Melissa stated. The pool was redone a few years back and the pirate theme looks really cool. CBR does have have multiple bus stops...I would probably get a preferred room to be closer to the pool/main bldg. Double beds at CBR ... Disney began outfitting the mods with queens beginning with the CSR refurb, then the two POR followed). CBR does have the largest rooms of the mods at about 344 sq ft.

Pop has great bus service, food court, CMs... which doesn't mean CBR doesn't, just don't have the experience of staying there....

Theming wise, POP stikes me as a more "fun" resort for Miss M ...oversize icons, water games at the Hippy Dippy Pool, that great nostalgic feeling you get walking around POP... you can play twister with Miss M, teach her the hustle in the lobby... ...also you can stroll over to AoA, it's such a colorful resort...check out the AoA offerings... OTOH, CBR does have the water slides/pirate themed pool, relaxed feeling....decisions, decisions!!

Given that you are splitting with AKL, I would lean towards keeping POP (total imparitality here )

To me it's a win-win.... no matter what you decide you will be experiencing two new resorts... you heading back to the World... with your fam... and experiencing SWW.. life is good!!!

No queens yet, but I've seen some test rooms so they should be starting a refurb soon?? Otherwise they are still doubles. One of the reasons why I opted not to do CBR when we were looking at mods...

Miss E`I love the before and after pics! We didn't love CBR, but loved Pop

Seriously love you gals! Thanks muchly for the information to ponder. The 'no queen beds' might just mean no switching for us. What I need to do is break my fingers off so I stop CHECKING THE SITE! (I noticed POFQ had cropped up, too. Too much dosh though as we're trying to keep this on the el cheapo side since Oct. is going to be the blow-out version.)

and for June!!!

I am a sneaky, sneaky momma. I'm wondering if I should draw up an elaborate lie to tell her we're going to "the beach" or some other such nonsense. I could maaaaybe keep the ruse going until we head toward the ME line.

For some reason, I was just afraid the monorail wouldn't be working through out this entire party, but it should be working during the party right?

Yes ma'am, it will. Barring any mechanical breakdowns, of course.

Who's gonna be at the Dallas shindig again? We almost went to the c2e2 when I found out there were a couple of GoT folks there.

Well, we are packing and doing last minute running around, and have done online check in with the airlines! We are almost good to go, just have to get the DD's home from school, fed, showered, off to Girl Guides tonight, and into bed right away when we get home!

Now I just have to stop worrying about those darn flies at Disney right now!!!


AT THIS TIME TOMORROW WE WILL BE LANDING AT MCO!!

YES! (Now, what about these FLIES?! )

Just a little FYI to anyone flying SW: I noticed their pricing dropped a little with today's sale announcement (from last week anyhow). Might be worth a gander to see if you can save some $$.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Don't apologize... that's the sort of earth-shattering news you need to get off your chest.. I am so sooooo very glad his friend told you. Please let us know how it gets resolved. I'm worried about you and your DS.

I've been updating the WL/VWL thread and just re-posted it HERE.

I'm very behind here, but noticed your post just now, Jeanette. What happened to DS is awful and I just hope this means it will now come to an end. I'm sorry for all you're dealing with right now

Yes, I have to agree with this!! The resort is very spread out and each "island" has their own bus stop. When we stayed there we had a preferred room so it was the closest to the main building, pool, and there was a bus stop close by. I wouldn't mind staying there again but my DH said he wouldn't stay there again.
