Caribbean Beach FAQ Part IV

[Jennifer S]

1. yes, you can buy beer and wine, but no hard alchohol.

2. they say allow for 3 hrs...meaning it could come earlier but there are no guarantees.

3. we also pack any electronics (camera, ipod, video camera etc.) along with a change of clothes and toothbrushes. Bathing suit might not be a big deal unless you plan on swimming that first night.

Thanks for the info - much appreciated. Is there a list somewhere of what you can buy in the Grab and Go market?

We had no problems booking our ADR's...Do we need to do anything special for our ME at the airport our travel agent stated that she already reserved us for that is there a number we can call to check..

nothing special, a couple of weeks before you leave you should receive your vouchers in the mail. (most likely the travel agent will receive it then send it to you. As Kathy said your agent owns the reservation until you check in.) You might just want to double check with the agent to ensure that they will be forwarding this info to you.

I believe the DIS has something...yep here you go.

as far as the beer and wine selection at the Calypso trading post, I couldn't find anything exact. This might be a question for Safetymom. I personally remember there being typical bud and miller products for beer but I don't remember the wine selection.

There you go Jennifer, the nice thing about listening to the Dis Unplugged is knowing that if there is a question about the CBR that hasn't been answered yet that Kathy is always willing to make a "sacrifice" and drive over to find the answer...

Oh yeah.....I'm sure is such a "sacrifice". Don't I wish I lived closer so I could be the sacrificial lamb.

This question has probably already been answered on here but Iam getting super confused!Is there such a thing as a preffered waterfront room?I called disney talked to 3 different people and got 3 different answers!I really want to stay close to the main action because its just me and my daughter for 10days!I am willing to pay for the upgrade just not sure how to make it ?I dont think there is such a thing as preffered waterfont?I would really like to stay at martinique building 25.It looks great on the map,anyone stayed here before whats your thoughts?Thanks so much!

 

[safetymom]

No you can't book preferred and water view. You would have to book one and request the other. I don't think there is a bad view at CBR. Pay for preferred. You will enjoy CBR.

i have a question for you guys about check out. We have res at Crystal Palace on our last day at 8:10am. Our plane leaves that night at 5:57pm. What do we need to do to check out, and check our bags? We are flying united, so we can check them at the hotel right? How early are we going to have to do all of this in order to make it to MK in time? ACK!

Does anyone know if CBR has a pin trading board in the lobby? I know when we stayed at POR they had a board out around 5:00 each evening and you could trade pins from the board with a CM.

I would do it at the very latest 7:00 am but I'd try for earlier. You can go on and check in with Express Airline Check-in (I think they open at 5:00 am, but I could be wrong). You should be able to do express check out with your room if you have placed a credit card on your account, so no need to go by the desk to do that. From there, I'd walk over to Aruba, catch a bus to MK and head into MK for ADR at CP.

There is a board at the Gift shop in OPR, they pull it out if you ask them to. They may also have a set time to trade as well, but they've always pulled it out if my DDs asked them to.

Thank you! My DH will be very happy to hear this.

Thanks - I was trying to see prices but couldn't. Looks like beer is sold singularly. bet it is expensive.
