Hi all!

So what tends to be regular pool hours during summer? Because we will be there June 23-June 27, but we will be in the parks all day for all days except the 27th. We could swim in the morning too, but I would also love to enjoy the pool at night after a long day in the parks. Will they be open past 9:30PM-10PM do you think?

Also, how likely would we be able to do a late check out on the 27th for just a couple of hours? I know it's the summer and it's a busy time, but we would really love to have a relaxing last day swimming.

Thanks!

Pool hours during peak swimming season last year were 9AM-11PM.

Hard to say as it all depends on occupancy. You can call housekeeping the night before and see if you can have late check out. If they agree, you will have until 1:00PM. If they say no, you can still have a relaxing last day at the pool. We do this all the time, there's locker rooms at the pool with showers etc.

Also how comfy are the murphy beds? Because I'll be the one sleeping in it mostly likely lol

Oh there are locker rooms with showers??? That's amazing! So honestly we wouldn't need to have late check out!

Thanks so much!!

Hello everyone. This is my first post! We are staying at CBR this April during a very busy time of year. When we were there years ago and staying at Trinidad (can't remember North or South), in the morning the buses to the parks would be filled prior to getting to our stop and would drive right past without stopping. People were so upset we thought there was going to be a riot. Does anyone know if this is a continuing problem?

Welcome to the DIS and to the CBR thread! We have been to the resort many times and have never seen the buses so full that they couldn't pick up guests. Yikes! Trinidad South is all pirate rooms so unless you are booked in a pirate room, you won't be staying in that particular village. Trinidad North is all preferred rooms. The bus route depends on the entrance that the buses use. If they use the main entrance, the first bus stop would be Martinique followed by Old Port Royale, Trinidad North, Trinidad South, Jamaica, Aruba and, lastly, Barbados. If they come in using the side entrance, the first bus stop would be Jamaica, Aruba, Barbados, Martinique, Old Port Royale Triniad North and Trinidad South.

If, for some reason, the buses are too full and don't stop at your bus stop, there's a phone in the bus stop that you can use to call and let them know the issue.

Thanks so much!!

Yep, there are locker rooms near the main pool.

Thanks everyone! We got our room on military discount and I've been reading so many bad reviews... but now I'm also reading all of the good reviews and they make me feel much better.

Are the murphy beds comfortable? Has anyone here slept on them yet?

Do water-view rooms count as "preferred rooms"? We are booked for a water-view, but I'm wondering what our options are as far as building requests go.

I know that several Disers have stayed in the rooms with the murphy beds and I don't remember anyone coming back to post that they were uncomfortable. Hopefully, someone will chime in and confirm this.

Water view rooms are located all over the resort and can be a view of either a pool or the lake. Preferred rooms are a different bookable category.

In most of the pictures I have seen the beaches are always empty(Disney and Guest photos). Is this the norm or are people waiting for them to empty to take pictures?

I know I only take pictures of them when they're empty, or with just my family.

How busy would you say they are normally?

They are never busy. I think it'd be different if you could swim in the lake. It's usually a family or two with kids playing in the sand or someone taking a nap on a hammock (that would be me!).

Never slept in one but they are shorter than a normal bed and the mattress is fairly thin. They are smaller than a twin bed and Disney officially recommends them for guests 11 and under. They would definately be small for an adult. But kids in our group that slept in them said they were comfortable.
