Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions-Old Thread-New Thread Link in Post 1

[dansdad]

We just booked our trip December 8-14th at CBR. Two standard rooms. I was wondering (sorry if I missed the answer and this has been covered), how do you get a room with the pull down bed vs one without it? Do you have to book for 5 to get one of those? I didn't even know CBR had them till I saw the renovated room pictures. This is our first time staying here and we are so excited!

If you have 5 in your party you will for sure get a room with a Murphy bed. If your party has less than 5, you will need to request a room with a Murphy bed. Just be aware it is only a request and parties of 5 have priority for them.

Can we make an 8:15 am resize at Tusker house @AK taking the bus from CBR or would we need a taxi?

You sure can. The buses start rolling at 6:30AM for early ADRs. We have had 2 ADRs at Tusker house, 8:00 and 8:15. We were at the bus stop by 7 and made both ADRs with no problem. But it will be quicker to call a taxi. You can have a taxi pick you up at your building at 7:45 and make it AK in time.

Thank you so much. We will use the busses then. We are also doing an early morning backstage tour two days later at AK. Have to be checked in at 7:15 am so we will do a taxi for that one.

I am assuming that since you went twice the breakfast at Tusker House was good.

You're welcome. And good idea about using a taxi for the tour. Just call Bell Services the night before, or in the AM around 6:15, and ask them to get you a taxi.

Yes, we really enjoyed it both times. Nice selection and great Character interaction.

Tusker house breakfast is a favorite of ours, we've done it twice and hope to again this trip. Thanks for the info on the Murphy bed. Will put in a request and see what happens. Thanks!

Could you add us to the roll call! We are heading down June 7-13 and staying onsite for the first time! We are taking our four kids, their significant others and our 1 year old grandson for his first visit and he is already obsessed with mickey!!!

 

[bond24seven]

Could you add us as well? We will be there October 2nd through the 10th. First time at CBR!! We were in CSR last year and loved it... I hope it is as nice!

Can you add us as well? August 20-Sept 1...can't wait!

Hey, just noticed we aren't on the roll call list. We will be there from August 23rd through September 4th!

This is our second stay at CBR, last one was back in 07', and I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I should pay for the preferred room, LOL. Last time we were way out in Jamaica somewhere I think, and had like a 20 minute walk to the pool\food area. Ah well, such issues to deal with.

Does anyone know if the quiet pools now have towels? Port Orleans recently started adding towels to their quiet pools, and I wondered if Caribbean Beach had done the same. We were there in late January and didn't see any, but it may have changed now. TIA!

Add us to the roll call please May 27-31, Can't Wait!!

I don't have anything to add right now but wanted to save us from page 2!
