We absolutely loved our two stays at the CBR.
The theming is so nice and relaxing. All of the buildings are painted bright colors and the landscaping is so lush. The resort is large but that also means that the guests are distributed throughout the resort so that you never feel crowded. There is an internal resort bus that will take you around the resort if you don't want to walk.
The CBR is centrally located on WDW property so it won't take you long to reach any Disney destination. The buses ran efficiently during both of our June stays. We never had to wait long for a bus going to or come from the theme parks.
Each village has their own quiet pool, laundry facility and beach, complete with beach chairs and hammocks. Some of the beaches even have small playgrounds. By the time you arrive in May, 2009, the main pool construction will be completed. The pictures and information posted by Safetymom and other posters show it to have a wonderful pirate theme.
There is an island in the middle of the resort and it's a nice quiet place to just sit and relax. Tropical/caribbean music is piped in making it more peaceful. There are picnic tables and benches scattered over the island too.
The CBR has a marina where you can rent watermice, pontoon boats, bicycles and surrey bikes. We rented the four seater surrey bike and round it around the promenade. It was a nice was to see the entire resort buildings and grounds.
Near the main pool, you'll find lots of seating, a hair wrap station and a pool bar. We sat outside and watched the Epcot fireworks on a couple of occasions.
The food court is fairly large and offered quite a variety of foods to choose from. You'll find the typical burgers, chicken strips and pizza but you'll also have the choice of pasta, deli sandwiches, rotissiere chicken, salads and more. The breakfast menu included waffles, pancakes, breakfast meat and other typical morning fare. The Grab N Go station was our favorite....fresh fruit, fresh baked bakery items, pies, cakes, yogurt, etc.
Also in the food court are the drink station, condiment bar, microwaves and toasters.
Shopping at the CBR store was fun too. One side sells pirate and CBR themed items and the other side sells the more typical Disney merchandise. They also have a small section with baby care items, beer, wine coolers, snacks, magazines, etc.
The rooms at the CBR are larger than the other moderates and have plenty of room for a family. There is ample storage areas and the two sinks really come in handy when everybody is getting ready to hit the parks.
Mousekeeping was very good. Our room was cleaned daily and our toiletries, towels, linens and coffee was replinished daily.
I don't think you guys would go wrong by staying at the CBR. It's absolutely lovely. If you'd like pictures, just ask and I'll post them.
