Caribbean Beach Resort ** NEWS & VIEWS **

[GlassPrincess]

Congrats to you Kissygoose! I was following your story on the boards and was hoping you would get a happy ending to this situation for your honeymoon!

My boyfriend and I have ressies for 9/18-22 at CBR and I am hoping and dreaming that we are offered an option to stay at Poly ourselves. My aunt is our agent and she's investigating as we speak what options they will offer us....

I just got a call from my agent and she was able to fix her mistake. She got the Polly for our entire stay for only a bit more (sorry all but I have no idea what the per night total was). My honeymoon is definately starting to look brighter Thank you so much for telling me to call her. Hope everyone else has a great turnout to their relocation.

Glad I was able to help. Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Glass Princess. Thanks for all the well wishes. I just want this to be the most magical vacation for my Fiance because he's been out of work for over a year and it's been a rough year for him . Here's hoping that all our wishes come true.

Ok all you guys that are waiting....I say go for it. I called and asked for the CBR special team. A wonderful CM named Serena helped me. I told her we would be there 12/14-19 and I wasn't sure if I was affected. She told me to hold on and came back and said yes and she could give me another moderate or ....she said hold on and came back....she could give me AKL, WL or Poly. I said the Poly would be nice and she booked me for $109.00 per nite. She even asked what building and any other request that I would like. I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!!!! 5 days Poly and 5 days WL! What a wonderful world! So maybe you guys shouldn't wait because I think the Poly will be getting full pretty quick!

To keep your head from exploding and ruining your lovely plans, get your favorite Disney towel (you do have a favorite Disney towel, right ) dump several trays of ice into it and tie it to your forehead. Now it may be a bit lumpy and hard, but it will keep you from exploding!

 

[swankybeth]

Wow! Great rate. Did you call them or did you wait for them to call you?

 

[lailah]

I called and talked to the CBR special team member and she said yes that we could talk about the move. She offered me any of the other resorts for the same price or....AKL, WL or Poly for 20.00 more. I jumped on the Poly and my reservations are now secure. I'm now relaxed and will not worry until then. You also get a new reservation number. I also did all my request with her. So anybody that's worried I say call and ask for the CBR special team member. They will first verify your reservation number and then put you on hold for the next CM. Good Luck!

Who are you using at DU? We used them too and I have been trying in vain to get an upgrade, no luck so far! Only offering another moderate at same rate, deluxe at "normal" rate!

[RoryWDW]

I don't know, Jean, my agent at Magical Journeys called me and said she had gotten the upgrade. Poly was not available for my dates, but I wanted AKL anyway and she knew that.

 

[dgaston]

Those were some of the rates I was offered, too. Nothing about Savannah view or Wilderness Cabin (Good thing--DH may have wanted that!). I chose the Poly for the $132.

Someone mentioned to me that it's Regular, not Value season, and that figures into it, I'm sure. My dates are 10/25 and 10/26.

But I am glad I'm not the only $132 rate! LOL

 

[LadyTrampScamp&Angel]

js,I love the AKL and I think that's a great deal! The only thing I'd say about a standard room is that you might want to request an upper floor, in order to avoid the few standard rooms next to the bus stop ( or just tell them you don't want those rooms). I think the upper floors might be quieter in a std, also you'd be missing out on a lot of magic if you traded this for a DTD hotel.

The AKL is beautiful, very unique. You won't be able to view animals from a std room but there are lots of common areas to relax in. And who knows? Perhaps you'll get a comp upgrade when you arrive.

I'm really glad to hear that this is working out pretty well for everyone! Wouldn't you know - we just stayed at CBR in April so I booked POR for Oct - no upgrade for me . But I'm very happy for all of you!

Have magical trips!

 

[las3888]

Thanks alot for that info, Pugsley...I read Terk-1's original message again and see they had reservations at Caribbean Beach also...good deal!

 

[skiwee1]

Las388, It sounds like Terk was booked at the CBR along with two other resorts for her stay. So she was offered the Poly for the part of her ressie that was CBR. You will not be able to switch to the cheaper rate as you were not booked at the CBR.

 

[torismom]

My du agent just got my oct ressies switche dover tothe poly. I am excited. My dh never had the deisre to stay there but now we
are. YEAH

I will be at wdw end of nov first of dec and staying at a fq. How I wsh I would be at the polythen to.

I am glad everyone is happy.

Happy marraige and enjoy your honeymoons. (to the honeymoon couples)

 

[BoyLovesBuzz]

We had the AP code rate of $79. Add $20 makes it $99 + 11% = 109.98.

 

[md&d1026]

OK, all this excitment on here got me going and I couldn't wait, I had to call.

I called the CRO and asked to speak to a CBR Relocation member and the agent asked for my reservation number then transferred me.

The CBR relocation agent explained what happend, offered the moderates then the AK & Poly for $109 a night!

So we took the Poly. My dh is going to be so excited because this is where he wanted to stay! I will love being so close to MK w/ our 20 month old dd!

 

[Karebear]

I am one of the displaced people from CBR. I called CRO and asked for ext. 222--they transfered me--the woman was really nice and offered me the poly or AKL savanah view for $116 including tax--my dates are in November but not over Thanksgiving. Hope this helps someone.

 

[Mousgroupy]

Does anybody out there have reservations in Sept.? and have they heard anything? We have had reservations for Sept. 11- 22 since LAST September...and they are paid for at CBR. I am going nuts sitting here, especially when all of you are talking about ressies in Oct, Nov and Dec. Anyone???

[Princess_Aurora]

I guess everyone stole all the rooms at the Poly because I just heard from my travel agent and she says that there weren't any rooms available there. However, she did get us in at the AKL for $20 extra per night for the savanah room. It's not on the monorail, but I hear it's a great place to stay!

 

[Trish Bessette]

I did it. For my 12/12 - 12/19 reservations from CBR I was moved to Polynesian for only $109 a night! Spoke with Thaddeus at CRO, HE WAS WONDERFUL! Very helpful. For being so disappointed with CBR closing on our first trip I am thrilled on where I ended up! Thank you Disney!
