3 days at CBR or 2 days at deluxe?

[ADisneygirl]

I need some advice: We are taking our second Disney cruise July 6th which really is our main vacation. Last summer after our cruise we stayed a few nights in the Cocoa Beach area before heading home. This year we want to extend the Disney magic a little longer, before heading home. So, I booked three nights at the CBR. We have never stayed there before. We have only stayed at the Boardwalk. We have used the Florida Resident discount, but this year the discount is not very much on the Boardwalk. We are not planning on going to the parks, but want to enjoy the amenities at the hotel, the pool, visit the Boardwalk area, go to DTD, etc.

The advice I need is help in deciding if I made the right choice in booking CBR. I have read a lot on this board about CBR, and the many differing opinions on it. Are we going to be disappointed in it if the only thing we have to compare it to is the Boardwalk Inn? Would it be better to book the YC or BC or Boardwalk Inn for two nights rather than three nights at the CBR?

This is just an add on trip, at the end of a fabulous cruise, so I suppose I will be happy wherever we go, but I thought those of you with more experience staying onsite might be able to offer an opinion on my best option.

I have never stayed at the Boardwalk or the CBR but I have stayed at the BC & it is a beautiful resort. I absolutely love the BW area.

However, IMO you should stay for the extra day at the CBR and form your own opinion about that resort. Like I said, I have never stayed there, but we did visit friends that stayed at that resort & thought it was very nice. While it isn't a deluxe they did have nice amenities. The only way you will know if you would like it is to stay there yourself.

Again, I would take the extra day of relaxation and especially another day at Disney & go with the CBR. JMO

No brainer - stay longer. Always stay longer! You wuill enjoy CBR - we stayed there in 2000 and loved the place. The main pool is great, there is music by the pool in the evenings and a little island to explore as well as quiet pools for each room area. There are bikes and boats to rent and you can always resort hop to the other resorts to check them out. I do not think you will be disappointed at all. Actually, we decided to up grade to a deluxe for this fall - AKL - only because of the FTP and my DD was a little disappointed that we weren't going back to CBR.
