Yup. And Bell Services will come pick you and your luggage up if you want.

This is fantastic. I feel better about our switch. We booked a preferred room.

You're welcome. Nice choice! CBR is our favorite moderate by far.

Okay...I may be adding another child to my trip and would have to book for 5 people with the extra child. Would I still be able to request Jamaica 41 on the ground floor?

I'm thinking about adding another child to my room. So we'd have 3 kids and a 2 year old. So we'd have to for 5. With booking for 5 would I still be able to request Jamaica 41?

Hahaha...I knew what you meant. You're good to go on those requests. There are rooms with the Murphy Bed that sleep 5 in 41 AND on the ground floor.

 

[pigletgirl]

Not all the rooms have the murphy bed?

No they don't.

Apparently I am the only one who never knew anything about free dining. We have always paid for a dining plan. Can someone fill me in please?

[pigletgirl]

No they don't.

I'm actually glad. The TV seems so high with the murphy bed.

It's just a promotion that's offered at certain times of the year (usually during slower periods). WDW usually always has some type of discount going (% off of rooms -- smaller % for values, greater for moderates, highest % for deluxes). Many times, the % off room works out to be a better discount than free dining (you can't have both) depending upon the type of resort and the make up of your traveling party.

Thank you, we got a good discount on our room price so I guess that was the balance.

We had thought about maybe "upgrading" to a pirate room (my boys are obsessed with pirates) until I saw the picture of the half mattress. It looks miserable, and I don't think we want to sleep on really uncomfortable beds for 9 nights! I'll probably end up swapping to a dang pirate room for the boys..let's just hope they really DO do a refurb and switch those out!

I agree...it really depends on your traveling party. When we go we have always stayed deluxe and room offers were ALWAYS a way better deal. Then we added my sister (adult by disney standards) so at that point free dining would have been the way better deal ($2300ish for our 5 people party for 9 night).

We are currently booked at GF, but really want to bring my sister with again. So I think we may make our switch to CB if free dining does pan out. The savings is increidble. We are currently at $8300 for our party of 4 with dining. With her, at CB, same dining plan, it would only be $4400!!! So making out like bandits basically. Even with an extra adult fee. I was nervous to go "down" from our deluxe stays, but after youtube videos and reading this board and reviews, I am excited and don't see it as going down, but rather just a different experience!

Can anyone snap me pictures looking at the floor in a few spots? I'm trying to see where I might be able to fit a pack-n-play. We have booked a room with beds for 5 of us plus the crib for our baby, so it's going to be a tight fit! Most pics are looking straight ahead to show off the room, but I need to see the floor space beside the beds (by bathroom wall and by the window) as well as around the dressers and in the sink area. I would really love to have things planned out before I arrive. Trying to get our baby to nap/sleep in a busy room is going to take an amazing strategy!

I'm sorry I don't have pictures but I can say from experience that a pak-n-play will fit in the sink area and between the one bed and the window.
