Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

Ha. I got here so late last night all I saw was the back of my eyelids haha. I'm in magic kingdom right now! I will post some pictures later if I can figure it out!

I did not book preferred but did request Martinique or Jamaica and Martinique is what I got. Very close to everything. I haven't gotten to experience really any of the resort yet but plan on waking around this evening!

Hope you have a great time and tell us all about it. We will be ther in 55 days

Just got here a few hours ago! I am in Martinique 22 and I am using the resorts wifi. So far so good. Not too slow! Can't wait to actually start my vacation tomorrow!

Wow you lucky thing ! Hey take some photos of the preferred buildings in Martinque. I would really would like to see how far they are from the food court and pool.

From the closest corner of Martinique 26 to the closest door to the food court building is 0.05 miles. From that same closest corner to the closest point of the main pool is 0.11 mi.

From the closest corner of Trinidad North 31 to the closest point of the main pool is 0.08 mi, and to the closest door of the food court building is 0.10 mi.

I did this using a runners' website that uses satellite images to help measure distances.

Has anyone stayed in a corner room and wish they didn't? I read one someone's review that they had a corner room and loved the extra sunlight. I think they stated that the other window was were a full length mirror was. I'm torn between requesting a corner room or a water view. I book a perferred room and will try and request Martinique....only b/c I love that actual island. So...what are your thoughts?

Not sure what they are talking about. I love the corner rooms. It does make the room brighter and feel larger. A water view may be a pool view not the lake. The courtyards are very nice so I don't ever request a water view.

We are staying in one of the Pirate rooms during our next trip and I had a question. My Mother will have to rent a Scooter while we are on Vacation and I'm wondering how difficult it would be to be able to get on a bus first thing in the morning? I know the resort is very spread out and has multiple stops and the South Buildings are not going to be the first stop.

Are we better off going to Old Port Royale or just waiting at the South stop? She's already upset about having to rent one to get around so I'm trying to help avoid the stress it may cause her.

We are coming in late June so we know it will be crowded which we have no problem with. The buses are our biggest worry.

Thanks

Hi. Hoping someone can help me here. I'm looking for information on what's a Snack Credit (SC) in the food court at CBR. I checked page one for photos but I think they are a little old. I would like to update CBR on my 2012 Confirmed snacks thread.

I would love it if someone has any recent photos of the menus showing the DDP on them. Or if someone who is there now could post using the free WiFi that would be awesome.

Specifically I'm looking to see the the Tropical Smoothies that are $4.19 are a SC.

TIA!

BTW, stayed here once in Jan. 2006 and loved it!

Just got back! We were in Martinique #25, second floor, just as I requested. \

Details please! And pictures if you have them

Who heads up this thread? If someone is no longer interested in keeping it up then we need someone to do so. Most threads except some deluxe are turning over after 250 pages in less than a year. This one since 2010 and is the info current? Most have awesome pictures that make you want to stay at that resort. I want more and this thread needs a makeover. I nominate Mickeystoontown as she is on here all the time and I had to refer to her trip reports for pictures. I have nothing against a person who is doing the job I just find other resort threads (Like POR and CSR) give a better review and promote their resorts better. With the possible renovation of CBR to queen beds(only one of the moderates that has fulls) I would like to see a better side of this fine resort. I can't wait for my 2013 vacation at CBR but if I had not been for a personal visit in 2011 I would pass for POR or CSR or maybe a value. So who loves this place?
