Arrived home this morning at 1:00 a.m. from our 6th stay at the CBR. I'll be doing a full detailed review very soon but wanted to post that our stay was just as wonderful as the other five.
Glad you had another wonderful visit! Can't wait to see your photos -- they're always so great, Lisa!!
Hopefully, I can start organizing my pictures today and post the ones that I took of the resort.
Backtracking through posts, I just had to add this --
Look at the menus Safetymom referred to in this link -- under "Entree/Main Course" the Royale Sandwich is amazing! I got that several times during our last visit....
catbertdave99: An aside here, but I checked the menu for the Royale Sandwich but no description was included. Would you please give a description of this sandwich. Trying to decide if everyone will be able to find something here they like. No easy feat to be sure... Thanks!
I just phone the reservations number and ask them to add the room request to our reservation. Never had a problem with it not showing up on check-in.
There were cheerleaders at CBR this year at the end of January into the first week of February. We didn't really have any trouble with them. We'd see them in the pool late in the evening, and small groups of them on the buses, but that's about it. We did hear them cheering across the lake (we were in Martinique) early one morning. I guess if you were staying over there it might have been annoying, but from where we were it wasn't a big deal, and it was only that one morning we noticed them practicing.Pop warner is 2nd weed of dec. cheerleading world end of march.

Basically it's a national cheerleading/football championships held every year the first full week of Dec. The can be an absolute nightmare. I've been there twice during that time. The first time I was there they were at the All Stars and PORS, with the overflow going to POFQ. We were at POFQ and swore we'd never go back during that week. We didn't notice the football players, but the cheerleaders were totally out of control and their parents and so called chaperones were acting like a bunch of drunk sailors on leave. By the end of the week the employees were calling in and we saw a couple in tears. They made the Brazillian tour groups look well behaved. This past Dec due to scheduling problems at work I had to go back that same week again. I did a split stay at CSR and YC and never even noticed they were there. You probably won't even notice them in the parks, but if you're at the same resort they are, it can be a toss up. Some people say they are loud, but not a problem. Others have nightmare stories about them (fighting in the food court, throwing food and cutlery everywhere in the food court, taking over the pools and hot tubs, running up and down the halls all night banging on doors, giving CMs a really hard time, knocking little kids down, forcing themselves in front of everybody to get on the buses, practicing cheers in the early morning hours and late at night, etc). What's bad is the Disney CMs are totally overwhelmed by them and when you complain the general response is "We know, but what can we do?".
I know when we complained about them at POFQ, the CM's only response was "We know they're out of control and will see what we can do, but don't expect much. There's just too many of them. There's about 40 complaints ahead of yours". When I suggested they talk to the parents and chaperones, she rolled her eyes and said the biggest complaints were about the parents and chaperones.
