Wow the pool likes like its a lot of concrete,I am a sun worshiper DH is not, is there any shade? I can't picture how how all that cement must be when we will be there in Sept....I greatly appreciate any? Thanks in advance!

It is a lot of concrete. I sat poolside a couple evenings watching my son in the pool and it was quite hot.

If I give a pillowcase to the front desk, will they have the characters sign it and put it in my room?

TIA

We are staying here for the first time in Septemer. I am always nervous to try new resorts, but my sons are VERY excited about the pirate rooms.

There are no characters at the resorts, so I can't imagine how they'd be able to do this very easily.

They'd have to have someone physically transport it to a park, make sure it gets autographed, and then physically transport it back. I'd have to imagine they won't do this, as it would be a lot of man-hours, not to mention taking someone away from his/her assigned job duties.

Sorry!

This is a guess, but maybe about 60" wide x 70" in height. We hung a little banner that said "Celebrate" and it went from one side to the other and hung in the middle. Don't forget to bring tape, and to take everything down before you leave.

I like hanging something in the window, we can spot our room from across the way. DS likes it too!

Any chance there is a barbecue grill on the Caribbean Beach property? We've stayed at the resort before but I never even thought about a grill or picnic area at the resort. Our softball team will be at the resort for a week in July/August for the USSSA girls fastpitch World Series and the parents were thinking about a group cookout one evening. Anybody have any info?

As far as I know/remember, there are no grills on the CBR grounds.

Just saw an article about coconut post cards they have at CBR. Has anyone ever sent one of these back home? Sounds like a cute idea!

I know that others have already answered your question but I did want to add that you'll need your room key in order to access the laundry room so remember to take it with you.

No it doesn't. We did the same thing. I put the laundry on late one night after we got back from the park and the kids fell asleep. It was close to midnight. I then found a nearby hammock on the beach to wait for them to be done - which wasn't such a good idea. Next thing I knew, I woke up in the hammock around 3am!

No, it does not close. Although we try to not do laundry while at WDW, I have found that doing a load or two during our "Resort Day" is perfect. We hit the parks pretty hard without midday breaks. So we always have planned a day or two to sleep in, hang by the pool, explore the resort. Just an idea.

Thanks all for your suggestions and answers to my question about the Laundry. I am guessing that I should just take a whole roll of Quarters and laundry detergent?

The quarters are a good idea. But, if you don't want to bring laundry detergent with you, if you're driving that might not be a problem, they have detergent for sale in a vending machine in the laundry room.

We flew and did bring 2 travel size detergents and it worked out perfectly.

If you forget the quarters, don't worry. There are change machines in each of the laundry rooms. There are detergent vending machines in the laundry area as well.

Actually you can get the washing machine/dryer sheets. They're much easier to travel with than either liquid or powder detergent. I bought a box before my last trip and just put a bunch in a plastic ziplock bag, they fit easily into my suitcase.
