nice pics, my grandpa just gave me some of his pics from Jan. when we were there and i saw two HUGE gray birds with red heads. Anyone know what kind they are? they sort of look like emus.

They are sandhill cranes. I have them in my yard every day.

Hi all!

We are going down at the end of March and I would like to make a room request. Is there anyway I can find a resort map with the room numbers on it? I'm looking specifically for the Jamaica 45 building.

Thanks!

Your best bet is to NOT include room numbers. Instead, put what you want into words. For example, "Jamaica 45, first floor corner room, facing courtyard." If you put a room number or two, the rooms assigner will have no way of knowing why you want those rooms, and if they're unavailable he/she won't be able to give you something else you want. So just describe what you want ... this will work to your advantage!

Thanks we will try to do that. We stayed one night there last year and we stayed in building 44 and said next time we would try to stay in 45. Thanks again!

those pictures are so pretty Ronald Duck thanks for posting them. mystikgarden can you tell me how your going to ask for a specific building/floor etc., do you do that before you get there? i tried when i made my reservation and the CM said i'd have to haggle over that when i got there.thanks

I love seeing all these great pictures of CBR! Makes me wonder if we'll end up skipping time at the parks to just hang around the resort. My toddler LOVES digging in sand!

I may have missed this, but I paid for a preferred room... any suggestions for building requests?

It depends. 26 is closest to the food court and bus stop, 31 is closest to the main pool, 24 is closest to a quiet pool.

I'm so excited!! We just booked our pirate room today. Those last pictures is all it took to push me to make the call. The kids wanted to go back to the WL until I showed them this thread. Now we are all super excited!!

Is there somewhere I can see lots of pix of a completed Pirate Room??
Please let me know, and thanks so much!

Does anyone know if the CBR has actual cribs or are they PNPs? Thanks!

 

[safetymom]

They are pack and play cribs.

Me too!!! I booked our pirate room for August just over a week ago. I went in the other day online to check because a friend of mine and her son may go with us. CBR still had rooms for our dates, but it looked like no pirate rooms. I am so glad I booked when I did. My DS is convinced he HAS to stay in a pirate room.

We are still debating where to stay in September and CBR is one of the resorts at the top of our list. I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. We always have our 11yo niece and 8yo nephew (who live locally) spend one night w/us at our resort (and go to the parks with us) when we visit. For that night, it would put us at 5 in our room. Would it be okay if we used an air mattress or sleeping bag for that one night? And if so, what about using the main pool? Would the kids be able to have lunch and swim with us?

If it's not okay, we'll cross CBR off the list. But if Disney lets people use air mattresses, then maybe it's an option for us.

TIA!
