That's what happens when almost all of the planning is done and our minds have time to wander.

Yes! Now that is over I am wandering if I should change some Dinner ressie's.
This is crazy!!!
It is not like I have never been to Disney before?

Having time on my hands is dangerous! I changed so many dining reservations after swearing that I was finished switching things up.

Does anyone know if CBR has parking passes on magic bands yet? We'll be driving and were hoping to head to a park before checking in at the resort.

We did online check in-got our room ready text and magic bands were all set when we pulled up to resort-this was in June. Pretty awesome!
ETA-we drove from Sanford airport so did not use DME

We are heading to our first stay in CBR in a few weeks! My question for today is, do they sell cases of water? If yes, how much are they? I am trying to figure out if I can skip having it delivered.

thanks so much!

I love this thread, I check in frequently! I can't wait to get to this resort

In June they had cases for $6.49 each.

Thank you! Now I do not have to worry about delivery! I will pack snacks and be all set. How were the prices for the bags of chips etc?

I'm debating if I should even put in room requests. I'm not particularly picky, I would just like to be in Jamaica or Martinique. But if I have 4 rooms that I need booked fairly near each other should I bother requesting anything but that?

I would just make sure all the reservations are cross referenced and ask that all be in the same building, especially since you're not picky.

That's what I was thinking.......I'm curious what you decide

All this planning and now just sit back and wait I've changed my magic bands a few times, played with my dining res. and now I don't know what to do with myself!!!! Get out my suitcase I guess and start packing 21 more sleeps!!!!!

Just realized that as of tomorrow, we have 20 days left until we leave for a 12 night stay at CBR! I'm excited, and nervous, all at the same time, LOL.

We have not stayed at CBR since 2007, and with this long a trip, hoping we did not make a mistake in choosing a HUGE mod. I'm thinking not with the newly remodeled rooms and such, but still, wish we could afford the WL again for this long of a stay.

Due to the number of nights, we didn't request a preferred room, trying to keep costs down, but I have requested either Jamaica or Aruba water view in hopes of at least being close to the bridge! Either way, really looking forward to this trip. It's a free dining bounce back from last year. Also hoping to get that same offer again for next year as we have for the past 8 or so!

We arrive on the 22 for 9 days. We have a group of 10 in preferred rooms. This our first time at CBR. Maybe we will see you

I know this is not the thread for this but, I thought I would let people know that if you are going to MK on a Halloween Party night and you have a FP+ reservation for the evening before they close....check your e-mail! Apparently they are changing peoples FP+'s that are close to closing. They changed one of mine that I had for 6-7pm. They not only changed the time but, they also changed the experience. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up so you can go and get what you can, while you can. Good luck!

21 days and you haven't packed yet? We are 44 out and I have already got some of the smaller stuff packed. You must be a slacker!!!

How do you make sure reservations are cross referenced? Do they automatically do that if you make two room reservations at the same time? If not, is this something to add when you make room requests?

 

[ejgonz2]

Can you get meals from shutters to go? I'll be on DDP and will probably eat there for dinner but may want to eat poolside.

Now I feel like one for sure Getting my packing started I putting all the 'little things' into my carry on So excited about CBR Does everyone think having preferred is enough ? Am I missing out if I don't request a certain building?

Preferred is enough . You will either be in Martinique or Trinidad North.

 

[MonaMN]

We have preferred reserved as well - planning to request Martinique, in part because I like the color a bit more.

63 days today - prepping for FP selection soon... yay!

 

[disneydad1000]

9 more working days until we take our annual back home..only thing different this year is that we have a new home, called CBR, always went to POR..excited and nervous, if that makes any sense.
