As long as the pool stays open I really don't care about the construction. Really loving the fact that there will be less people there than usual and maybe make the busses less crowded.

I'd guess that only the Barbados stop is gone but that's nothing but a guess on my partLess people and less crowds (hopefully). Does it also mean less stops? If the buildings are closed then the stops will not be in operation right?!?
So you are going to get gift cards for your additional nights? How did you do that? I was thinking of adding at least one more night on either end. Did you do a separate reservation? Also, did you call to do this and they said you'd get the gift cards with it? Sorry, for all the questions! I'd love to add on especially if they'd let me have a gift card for added night (yes, I already have the email and booked before cut off) Thanks!I lucked out in to some folks cancelling rooms! DGD and I are arriving late on the 24th, instead of with DH on the 26th. I had us in an AS for 1 night, then AKL (bunk bed for DGD) and then we'd move to CBR for the rest of the trip. I have checked every day to add on days to the front of our trip, so we could keep our original reservation and the gift card. Finally today, 2 more nights opened up so we can now stay in 1 place AND get 2 more nights gift card. By the time I figure in the gift card the night at CBR is the same as the night at ASMo and we get a MUCH nicer room/resort.

Yes the gift card can be used to upgrade tickets. Someone just used them toward an AP upgrade the other day.Hello everyone! So excited to be joining the CBR group We are booked to arrive Setember 30 for 7 fabulous nights of free dining! We also booked before the cut off so we have the $75/ night gift card. I have a question for those in the know about these gift cards. Do you know if they can be used to upgrade tickets after check in? Say for example if we have 2 day park hoppers, can we mosey over to concierge and use them towards upping them to a 4 day park hopper?
Also, this is our first time at CBR, we usually cruise on by and park ourselves at POR or POFQ, but decided to change it up for this trip....what is your favourite thing about CBR? Any little tips or secrets about CBR that you find make it extra special? So excited to try something new, I don't want to miss out on anything!
Thanks for your input

Thanks to Debbie A for keeping my CBR FB group updated. I know many here are anxious so I wanted to share.

What was the cut off date for receiving gift cards? Sorry, I'm late to this party.
I am going to guess more standard fare for the kiddos.Thanks for the information...do you know if the food trucks are going to offer similar fare?
Just remember that if you start with a 2 day park hopper ticket and then want to upgrade with your gc, you will only have 2 days of fast passes that you can book 60 days out, then can try to get fast passes once you upgrade to more ticket days.Yes the gift card can be used to upgrade tickets.

Okay, I thought I heard that was what they were doing, turning some into the DVC. Thanks!It's in the first post
I along with several others have been told by Disney cast members that the village of Barbados and possibly some of Martinique will be turned into DVC. They wouldn't go so far as to tell us if the buildings will be torn down and rebuilt but that's what the rumor is.
