Well, I hate to say we are back...I was so bummed when I woke up this morning and realized I was in my own bed!:(

Eight of us (4 adults & 4 kids 8,7,5 & 3) stayed for 10 days. We requested a connecting room which we did get. We were in Martinique 26 and although we didn't get a waterview it was still pretty.

We were pretty close to the Food Court which was great and in between two bus stops. (one night my cousin and I were heading to Downtown Disney and missed the bus at the first stop and ran and caught it at the second...everyone was laughing at us and we couldn't catch our breath but we made it...haven't ran like that in years!!:hyper: )

We didn't care for the big pool...way to many people but our pool was just perfect and we took a mid day break there almost everysingle day.

The Banana Cabana drink from the poolside bar was a big hit with us adults (just check our bill LOL) and the rooms were a nice size and very clean.

Each of the kids did get a towel animal from Mousekeeping and we used the Mickey Wake Up call in the mornings. Checking out was a breeze but checking in was a pain as the line was very long and very slow but everything was fine after that.

The funniest thing was the night my cousin and I went out alone and chased the downtown Disney bus, we were coming home and bus took a while to pick us up and then it was just her and I on the whole bus (it was very late). We just wanted to get home and the driver pulls in to CBR gets to a cross road mubbles that he went the wrong way...backs up and then pulls back out of CBR on the highway then back in the gate again (now the security guard is looking at us like we are nuts and my cousin is standing in the window waving her arms for help...it was kind of funny). The driver then gets lost again!!! We end up giving him directions to Martinique. We finally get off the bus and as we are walking down our walkway out jumps an armadilla and it starts chasing us and we are freaking out trying to get our cards in our doors! By the time we got inside we were laughing so hard we woke everyone up in both rooms!!

It was a nice resort and we will probably try another one next times but would mind staying at this one again. If you have any questions let me know and I'll try to help!
 
The bus service for the most part was good. About 15 minutes a bus would come along for each park (once or twice it was longer) but not really bad.

The grounds were nice...great landscaping, very clean, nice pools and staying in Martinique even with our rooms facing the parking lot it was quiet. We enjoyed it.

Breakfast foods were fine too...Mickey Waffles, pancakes, eggs, potatoes, cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit, all kinds of pasteries, rolls & muffins etc. Pretty much something for everyone.
 

The view wasn't bad. We were on a corner. The landscaping and sidewalks were really nice and then past that you could see the parking lot but it wasn't like you walked out and there was the blacktop.

It still felt private but close enough for the walk to the bus stops.
 
Hi,

Thanks for sharing! Mom & I liked CBR too.

plutosgirl, could you do me a favor and post your trip report to the CBR thread listed below? Thank you and I am glad to hear you had a great time.

So how is the view outside your room. Is it all aprking lot. Or do you see some of the grounds and trees and stuff?:earsboy:
 
No the view is not all parking lot. It is even hard to see the parking lot with all the landscaping. There are many paths that have all sorts of plants. It is very pleasant and relaxing walking around CBR.
