Thanks, Melisa - we did just that and it worked perfectly. Had a great breakfast with the Ohana gang!

8 days out from check-in at CBR and no MB or FP+ popping up in MDE.

Tried to log in and out of online check-in and kept getting the "Goofy" error screen.

CBR is not part of the testing. I called Disney a few weeks ago and asked :-(

Won't stop me having a great time though!

Incorrect!

I'm at CBR and I logged in last night because I got my final invoice showing disney took $700 twice.....after logging in I was prompted by a pop up to customize my Magic Bands. I did not make FP+ because we go in October and think they will be virtually useless for that time.

Yes- I customized mine yesterday too!! It said I had 6 days to complete so I'm happy to have seen it in time!! I didn't think they were doing them at CBR either!

Yay for you!! Report back and let us know how CBR is!! Staying there in 34 days!!

Hi all! I'm staying at CBR December 18th - 23rd. (Yay Christmas at WDW!!) However, I'm a *little* bit unclear on MB and MM+ for CBR. Since they're testing in October, will it be in full swing in time for my vacay?

Having MBs would make this trip even more magical than I know it will be!

Yes, same for us. We are actually getting 2 different sets of MB's since we are doing a split stay.
1 set for POP, and another set for CBR ! LOL. The POP set showed up first, but the CBR set was only available to customize a few days ago even though we had that reservation the longest. So they just added CBR late last week.
We have all of our FP+ done already. Still hoping for an actual "park ticket" when we get there for using the normal FP system too !
I think October is going to busy this year from the way it sounds.

Me too! We are going the 20-28th. I keep getting the Goofy error as well. Any luck?

 

[julieb5]

We check in on sept 23rd (9 days woo hoo!)

I just tried to get online but I couldn't find any fast band options do you guys think its only for October check ins at CBR?

 

[CarolRN]

I check in October 8th and yesterday when I logged in to MDE I was prompted to set up MD and FP+. The message said I had 8 days to customize the MB.

Just checked in yesterday, no fridges in either of our two rooms however we had no issue getting the credit. Room is clean and very nice. Staff have been super nice. Front desk confirmed the spring refurb. Also said they didn't have bands here yet but hoped to soon. Very happy to be here!

what area are you in?we arrive next week and would hope to have a fridge but will bring a soft sided cooler just in case. thought by now they should be pretty much finished installing the fridges, wonder when they will be all done? I will be happy just being there so quess it really isnt that big of an issue in comparision. cant wait to be realaxing in the hot tub on night of arrival, we wont get to resort till around 7 pm and figured the hot tub would be a great plan of action for our first night there.

We are in Jamaica building 44

Can you please tell me the corner room number near the parking lot? We stayed in that room a few years ago and on our trip next year we want to get the exact same room

If the rooms don't have fridges, can you still request one for medical purposes? I have medication that needs to be refrigerated.

Call this number, 407-827-7760
This is the dedicated "fridge" line. It gives you a list of resort completed, etc. There's a prompt to speak to a CM. You can have them add it to your ressie for medical purposes. I did it and called back a few weeks later to confirm and it was showing.

Hi everyone! Well Ive had a trip for 11-16 to 11-23 planned for a while now at CSR. Now DH tells me we have to change dates (he owns a lawn/landscaping business and can't leave when I booked it-even though he initially gave the go ahead but now doesn't remember.) Anyway, only thing left in moderates are CBR -water, standard and pirate. Or do POP preferred which my DH doesn't want to do. This trip it will be myself, DH and daughter-8. We have stayed at CBR pirate rooms our first trip, CSR, and POFQ x2(which we of course love). I don't know what to book now. Glad that he said something to me today since it's the last day for FD to book, but still. I'm at a loss. Should I just do CBR and try to call back to see if we could get preferred? We went there 5 years ago and just not sure what to do. Any thoughts?

We checked in yesterday and we have a fridge. First time here and we are happy with our room. Corner room and plenty of space. The resort is really big. We feel like our building is deserted! There is no one around at all. Now, the pool on a Saturday afternoon is a different story!
