Hi,

I just got back from a long weekend at Disney World. I wanted to visit all the resorts at WDW- and take advantage of the free dining! My home resort was Pop, but here is what I noticed about CBR:

The bathrooms at CBR have a double sink with "storage" underneath and a privacy curtain. I love those privacy curtains!

The gift shop, like all the ones I visited, had your typical souvies (tees, pins, etc) as well as sundries like deoderant, toothpaste, diapers and even items to make sure that your trip next year doesn't include another family member :eek: .

There were life jackets at the pool. The OPR pool had a nice slide, hot tub and there were hammocks and Caribbean music playing on Caribbean Cay. There was a cool playground, hammocks and a beach area just across the lake from Caribbean Cay in the Jamaica section. The pools in each village were nice, too. More quiet as well.

The arcade was nice. I found the arcades at the Values bigger than the Mods (and the Mods were bigger than the Deluxe).

The walk from Aruba, building 56, room 5664, to OPR was 10 minutes. The walk from building 39 in Trinidad was 15 minutes. The internal bus takes 15 minutes to make the loop.

The color of the buildings are: Jamaica is yellow with blue roof, Aruba is purple/pink with green roof, Barbados is pink with green roof, Martinique is blue with red roof and Trinidad is salmon with red roof. I love the colors of Jamaica, mon.

The preferred buildings are 24, 25 and 26 in Martinique and 31, 32 and 33 in Trinidad North. I definitely think it's worth the extra money if being close to the food court and OPR is a priority.

I love this resort. I don't know if it is because I worked there many moons ago or because I love the flashy colors and Caribbean feel. Doesn't matter- it is a wonderful resort.
 
We were there over the weekend as well. We booked a standard room and made no requests. We were in Martinique bldg 22, first floor. Close to the quiet pool which as very quiet and we could see the bus stop right outside our door, very helpful as we ran to grab one a few times. Even more helpful with a sleepy little one who played hard at the Magic Kingdom!

We took advantage of the bounce back and booked a deluxe for our stay next month, but would have been happy to book CBR again.
 
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the CBR. We enjoyed both of our stays there. I just love the beachy, tropical theme. It's like having a beach and Disney vacation all rolled into one.
 
I was just there last week. I loved CBR 15 years ago and I still love it. I wish we had spent more time at the resort to enjoy it, but we haven't been to WDW in so long that we spent a lot of time at the parks.

We booked a standard room and got building 33 in Trinidad North, right across from the bus stop and near OPR. That was very nice of them.

I'm laughing at "even items to make sure that your trip next year doesn't include another family member" because um, (TMI ahead...)we forgot some of those items and DH didn't know that they sold such items in the gift shop, so who knows, there may be another family member on a future trip.:rolleyes1
 

Thanks for the review. Could you please cut and paste it into the CBR FAQ thread listed below? Thanks.
