We are back from CBR, and had a fantastic time!
For those of you who didn't get a chance to read my thread, I thought I should post my report here, too. This was our first trip to WDW, and here are a few observations from our week (1/30-2/6)...
Rooms: We were in a standard, Nemo-themed room. I had requested Martinique, first floor, but we were put in Barbados, first floor, room #1322. At first I was going to ask to be moved, but I decided to chance it, and we turned out to be in an excellent location. We were less than a one minute walk to the quiet pool and laundry, two minutes to the bus, a short walk across the street from the Customs house, and a six minute leisurely stroll to Old Port Royale. We were given a courtyard view. The courtyard contained a designated smoking area, but since it rained most of the week, there were almost no smokers (or anyone else) there for most of the time. The room was very clean, and mousekeeping did a great job all week. We didn't get any towel animals, but my sons' stuffed animals were always arranged in cute and funny ways (one day, they were all watching TV, complete with remote
) There was very little noise from the neighboring rooms, except we could sometimes hear showers and toilets flushing in the mornings.
Buses: Our room was quite close to the bus stop. Barbados is the last stop before going to the MK and Dowtown Disney, and the third bus stop for buses going to DHS, Epcot, and AK. The dispatching part of the bus system had us a bit confused, and frankly I think my husband was right in concluding that Goofy was actually running it.
Although we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for an outgoing bus (and often less than 5), there would often be two or three buses going to the same place that would come by in a row.
One morning we watched three buses going to Downtown Disney go by at 8AM within the space of 5 minutes. Other than this weirdness, the bus system was easy to use, and the longest we waited for a bus was 20 minutes one night at Epcot.
Food: We ate one lunch at Old Port Royale. It was set up like most food courts, but only 2 of the 4 stations were open when we went, and this was at 12:45 - peak lunchtime. The pizza station was also serving to types of pre-made sandwiches, but the selection was more limited than I was expecting. The Grab and Go section of the market was well stocked, and we used it to fill in breakfasts when we ran out of cereal and milk in our room. I looked longingly at the outdoor pool bar a few times, but unfortunately it was far too chilly to sit and sip drinks by the pool (bummer!).
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at CBR. The poor weather seriously curtailed some of the parts of the resort we would otherwise have enjoyed. We didn't have a chance to go swimming or play on the beach, but the long walks around the lake were really lovely and relaxing, and all of the cast members we encountered were friendly and helpful. We loved CBR, and I would stay there again (but hope for warmer weather next time
)
And there is a quiet pool in each village. At POFQ you will get one pool. At POFQ you would have access to POR's pools, but it would be quite a hike. 
And with it's central location all the bus rides are very short! 
She got the 'hang' of the walk to OPR and back to the room after one round trip.
