Thought I would give a breif review as I am not a trip report person but wanted to let people know my opinion of the pirate rooms since I got such great tips on these boards
We stayed May 16-23 in a pirate room at CBR- the room was great, my two boys (age 1.5 and 3.5) loved it ( oh and we used the pirate current as a nightlight so no scare factor there) The room was very clean and thank god we had wonderful mousekeeping while there because it was so nice to come back to the room after spending a day out in the rain. We bought a pirate Mickey for my oldest and each day when we returned to the room we would usually have a towel animal and pirate Mickey was into some mishchief- i.e. had the tv remote and the tv was on- was on the bed with the other stuffed animals with the phone calling room service, etc- my sone was so excited to see what pirate mickey had done when we would return to the room!
As for the rain and this resort- not a good combo- TS is very far away in the rain- we are walking people and our first day was nice so we walked to OPR- not a bad walk, pretty, even with strollers very doable- then it rained, and rained, and rained- after walking all day in the rain it was a pain in the but to get to OPR to get drinks or anything else for that matter. Plus there are no corridors so anytime you go out of your room you are going to be in the rain. Couldn't really enjoy the grounds/pool because of rain- we did one day though and thought it was nice. Also- we were on 2nd floor and because there stairs are painted they are very slippery- I fell carrying my youngest and busted by elbow really good. This was the last day though or I would have been requesting to be moved to a ground floor- which I should have done anyways when it was raining so hard.
When we could get to OPR I though the food court was excellent- good selection, basic food but tasty- we got a pizza one night and brought it back to the room. Most of the CMs were pleasent, except the first night when we were trying to get our backpack we had checked with bell services (it had our boys blankies in it) I was told that they had a lot of people check in that day and they could not tell me when my backpack would be delivered and we could not pick it up because they could not gaurantee that they could locate it- what this was at 10pm- after calling three times on it and finally asking if we could just pick it up. Lucky a nice CM delievered it shortly thereafter- other than that no problems with CMs
I would encourage people to stay here though as overall it was a nice resort- you just have to be patient with the pirate rooms as we were the last stop for every bus! But I still thought the pirate room was worth it- just would have been nicer without the rain!
) so am debating taking the risk.
How do you get to your room, and does it take an awfully long time? And when you check out, does someone come out to your room to help you bring your luggage? (or if I'm switching over to the Poly, does someone come get my luggage and take it away to be delivered to the Poly?). The more I look at CBR, the more excited I am about doing a split stay. I have my DD sold on the pirate room...but she still wants to go back to the Poly to "hop on the monorail" back to our room!
