[Disneylvr]

I read the FAQ and maybe missed this information but does the room have a USB port for charging phones etc. or should I bring my own? Thanks!

No USB port, you'll have to bring your own.

Thanks, that is what I thought. I don't remember there being one in the room when we last stayed there 4 years ago.

The air mattress.
I have a 12 year old son.
We move the table and chairs in front of the window
And put the air mattress where the table was

It's out of the way and we can still use the table and chairs

As of march 1 there are no boats to rent. This affects the moderate resorts. The marina's at CBR and POR are empty except for the pirate ship and the fishing boat. The pirate cruise is on the lake now.

I know this has been asked before... but has anyone else heard if they are putting a murphy bed in some of the rooms for the reburb?? We are going in Aug and are staying at POR and would love to switch if they were to make this announcement.

We have 8am ressies at HS and we are driving in WDW for the first time. How long will it take us to get from cbr to HS door-to-door?

No official word one way or the other. There are rumors that they will be adding a murphy bed, but they are just rumors for now.

It took us less than ten minutes to drive from the CBR to HS.

I read about that this morning. I wonder if they'll still have bicycle/surrey bike rentals?

That would be a great idea for the refurb. Going forward, it would be a wise idea to put them in the rooms at all the the resorts whenever they do a refurb at each resort.

Disney Cruise Line just banned power strips/extension cords. That's not going over so well with all the devices people have these days. Providing USB ports would make up for this, however.

I guess the demand just wasn't there. I rarely saw people renting boats...maybe once or twice in all the days I've spent at CBR. Wasn't the pirate cruise on the lake to begin with?

Are there pics of test rooms at all? Any official refurb schedule? (What sections and when?)

Is the kiddie pool next to the main pool?

There were pictures posted quite some time ago of a room at the resort which everybody believes are what the rooms will look like after the refurb. No official word yet on what villages will be first to get the refurb. I was only told that it would start in April, 2014 and that they would begin in one village and work their way through them all.

The kids' water play area is to the left of the main pool.

Oh, would this mean they'd up the room occupancy to 5, like at POR???? That would be so awesome! CBR is one of my favorite resorts, but I can only stay there right now when we don't have the full family together. Keeping my fingers crossed

 

[CTPacky]

The bikes and surreys are still there.

 

[britfish]

How long do refurbs usually take? We are going in Aug. And hoping for queen beds!

When POR did this it took about a year to complete.

Most likely.

Thanks for the info! We haven't rented watercraft in several years but have rented the surrey bikes so I'm glad to hear that they are still there.
