Some buses start in Jamaica, then go - Aruba - Barbados - Martinique - OPR - T. North - T. South - the out. . .

Others start in Martinique, then go - OPR - T. North - T. South - Jamaica - Aruba - Barbados - the out. . .

Some people say that certain buses take certain routes, but we found no rhyme or reason to it the last time we were there. On all of our trips, except for one (DHS), the buses apparently had started in Martinique. Because we got on at Aruba, the bus then went to Barbados and then left the resort.

I've booked one of the Pirate rooms for a June trip with my 8-year-old grandson (just the two of us, but my younger two sons are working in Le Cellier so we'll be hanging out with them). I've heard that the Pirate beds are uncomfortable - is that true? He's excited about the Pirate theme but I do want a comfy bed!!

When we were at WDW last August, we were celebrating our daughter graduation from missionary college. We asked for an I'm Celebrating button at check-in. I brought along a Sharpie marker and wrote GRADUATION on the button. I'm sorry to report that hardly anyone noticed her celebration. But, my husband and I made sure to say something to the CMs and they acknowledged her celebration.

Will ya'll be spending any time at the resort? If so, you could rent a surrey bike and take a ride around the resort. We rented one for 30 minutes and were able to take two laps around. I know it's not "celebration" theme but it's a fun way to see the resort.

I remember a map that had the different routes...well anyway...I think its MK buses start at Jamaica and the rest start at Martinique....just was trying to plan...thanks

The Nemo Rooms at Caribbean Beach

I stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort in Walt Disney World in Orlando FL over the weekend. I was anxious to stay in one of the newly refurbished rooms since Disney announced the new Nemo theme for many of the rooms. Caribbean Beach is my favorite resort at WDW.

I have stayed many times at CBR over the years and loved the subtle tropical feel in the rooms. So when Disney started the refurbishment I was concerned I would not like the new rooms. Well once again Disney did a great job at creating a new feel when you enter the room.

I had a room that was very close to the parking lot but I couldn’t hear any noise from the area and it was hard to even see the cars from the sidewalk outside the room. I stay in Martinique 24 which was the first building to be done. This is considered a preferred building costing extra at CBR. It was a very short walk to Old Port Royale the food court and the main pool.

The new rooms have been painted and received new carpeting, furniture, flat screen television, curtains, shower rod and curtain. If you have stayed here before the carpeting is new but the color is a deeper green. The chest of drawers houses the fridge.

They kept the double beds but they are now on a platform. The downside is that was a great place to store your luggage. There is plenty of room back by the double sinks to store any luggage.

There is a bench with a drawer that will hold a lot. The new dresser has plenty of drawers. I didn’t miss the old armoire they had in the room. The new room feels larger.

The curtain is new back by the double sinks. That is a great feature when you are trying to get ready in the morning, some have used that area as a private area for a baby in their porta crib.

The room comes with a fridge, 4 cup coffee maker with several packets of regular and decaf coffee and the condiments for it, full size ironing board and iron. You receive a small bottle of combo shampoo/conditioner and a Mickey bar of soap.

The bathroom received the new curved shower rod and new shower curtain. The room was very clean.

I had a room with the door connecting to the room next door. I never heard my neighbors.

The safe is small and wouldn’t hold a laptop but it would be great for all the small stuff.

The one thing I wasn’t fond of was the Ethernet connection is on the nightstand between the beds. The cord was just long enough that the person closest to the nightstand could use the laptop. It would have been nice if the Ethernet connection had been at the table.

I enjoyed my stay at CBR and will be back again soon to enjoy the resort and pool. I can't wait for the new pirate rooms coming in January in Trinidad South.

 

[DreamnDisney]

Do all the rooms at the resort look like this, besides the pirate ones?

 

[safetymom]

Yes they do.

 

[kris816]

Does anyone know which stop is first for MK?
We want to make sure we get on the first bus and get there for RD.

We had requested Jamaica but will walk to another stop to make sure we get a spot on the first bus.

 

[Lorettainny]

I have over 150 days to go and all I want is to be in WDW right now! Thank you to everyone for keeping me entertained in the mean time. I love hearing about the resort. This will be my first time at CBR. Can't wait!
