Thank you! I just found the link on Touring Plans where you can see all the room types on the map. I think that must have been where I saw it.

You may have also read it in the 3rd post of this very thread.

Hello all! We will be at CBR in 75 days and have a preferred room booked. I'm leaning toward requesting the Martinque section due to the bus routes, but just wanted to ask any experts what you'd request. Any particular building you'd request (within the Martinique or Trinidad North sections)?

Does anyone know if the store sells Aloe gel (in case of a sunburn). We do our best to prevent sunburns, so we probably won't need it. But, if one of us accidentally gets one, I was just curious if I could buy Aloe gel in the store, rather than lugging the big bottle down in the suitcase! Thanks!

Yes, I can tell you from experience that the gift shops sell Aloe gel. Now the small bottle we had to buy on our last trip was about $9.00!!

Trinidad North 31 if you want to be really close to OPR, or Trinidad North 33 if you want closer to the bus stop. Can't really go wrong with either one, and you are maybe a 1.5 minute further from either building. Not much of a difference.

Well after two very frustrating calls to the resort line on Saturday I finally got a wonderful agent tonight who noted all my requests graciously and kindly. The first girl I spoke to was terrifying - everything was a bother - told me if I had a standard room I could only have buildings 34-39!! Yikes!! Second girl wouldn't even pull up my reservation - just made some random notes but did reassure me that standard view rooms were throughout the resort.

The girl I got tonight - think it was Mary-Anne, couldn't do enough and knew about the VIP clean for my daughter's skin condition without me even needing to ask. Such a relief - maybe midweek is a better time to call than at the weekend.

My faith is restored!!!

Thanks. That's a little disappointing. I'd already seen the list on the TiW site, just didn't know if anyone had any first hand experience.

This may have been answered already, does CB have monitors with the bus time schedule

 

[amytaylor2]

Just upgraded to CBR! So excited! We're only staying 3 days so we were just going to stay at a value resort, but with the room discount it was totally worth the very little extra to upgrade.

Not yet.

Excellent choice!

Isn't it a great feeling!?!?! Let me join you in doing the Paid In Full Dance!

I'm really hoping that they put the bus schedule monitors up at CBR before my September/October trip. I think it's a great feature.

We have firsthand experience with this unfortunately. Dh asked a cast member why the card isn't accepted for breakfast and lunch since Shutters isn't open for those meals. The cast member said he would look into it. That was a year ago!

Once you are paid in full when does disney mail out magical express and rest of our vacation documents?

For us they usually arrive around 30 days out.

Thanks! I'm just so ready to reeve disney mail and I would love to beat my husband to the mailbox so I can keep some of this trip a surprise.

Thank you! That was what we were thinking was maybe a quick breakfast. We'll likely do most of our eating either at the F&W festival or table service dinners. I still think it will pay for itself in savings, but it would have been nice to have a discount on breakfast or maybe lunch. Good to know your experience though!
