As a mom who has stayed alone with four boys each time she has visited Disney, I was pleasantly surprised to see the CBR (which we have never stayed at before) pop up when I was booking a last minute trip for the end of the month. I was able to book a FL resident rate for $116 per night and it let me book a room for all five of us. I am assuming this will be one of the refurbished rooms, since those are the ones that allow for 5 guests? My question is, do we know what buildings these rooms are booking in right now, or are they located throughout the grounds?
When booking, I saw a waterfront and standard category. No preferred. Are the waterfront the preferred rooms? Also, how important are preferred rooms? The trek back to our room at night and to the food court etc. at POR (we were in the furthest building in the back) was one of the reasons I swore off that resort after our last trip, is it similar at CBR?
If so, is it possible to drive your vehicle to the front for the day and park there, then drive back to your room when you return from the parks? It may sound silly and not a big deal to some, but I have bad knees that can sometimes but not always be a problem. After running around parks from rope drop to close with 4 boys who don't like to take breaks, the extra trek feels like 100 miles.
