Hey guys! Leaving in 7 days and packing my bags. Question - are there pool towels available or do I need to bring them? At CBR as well as at water parks?
Thanks in advance!

They have them at the Main Pool, I always buy us all new Disney towels for the trip...adds some excitement for the kids.
Have Fun!

If you are planning to enjoy a night at your hotel, you can't go wrong with a meal at Shutters. Years ago it used to get terrible reviews, but a new chef came on board and now the reviews are quite good. We ate there last year and quite enjoyed it. I often recommend Shutters for your arrival day or any night you want to enjoy your hotel.

I'm not the one who asked, but that is so good to know. We plan on just hanging at the resort and pool on our arrival day so I made an ADR for Shutters that night.

I'm so glad you said this becuase this is exactly what I was planning for our arrival day!

Thank you hskaggs11! Glad I asked, I'm not sure I would've checked to see if they were charging my credit card throughout the trip!

In order to charge to your Magic Bands you have to have a pin set up. This can be done at check-in. They didn't tell us this last time we were there and we were stuck all day without being able to charge so don't forget to set this up when you check-in.

Please change our dates from 9/26-10/2 to 9/25-10/3!

2 extra nights plus free dining (still in a standard room) is only $350 more than we were originally paying (with no dining plan). Definitely worth it!

Does anyone know when I can get a trip planned for next year? The resort reservation calendar only goes up to December. Thanks.

You can call and make a room only reservation 499 days out.

You have to wait for the 2016 prices to come out in order to book online or book a package.

The next year's rates usually come out July -Aug.

I can't wait? Is there only 1 hot tub? We love it after a long day at the parks, I'm just worried about over crowding

There are 2 hot tubs. Make sure you check out the first page of this thread. Filled with great info and will probably answer any questions you might have.

A really random question...are there bathrooms in the buildings besides in your room? We will have two kids in pack n plays, one at least who really needs as much privacy as possible when sleeping, and so we are thinking in the sink area would be perfect. But if anyone needed the bathroom after he went down, that would obviously be a problem if there isn't a bathroom nearby!

The only other bathroom would be the one at your Villages quiet pool.

There are also bathrooms at the main pool and in Old Port Royale, but I cannot imagine wanting to walk there (or to the bathroom at the quiet pool) in the middle of the night.

I seem to remember someone looking for FD 9/25 at CBR... I remember this because that is when I'm going... Anyways- just wanted to give a heads up. There is a standard room available online 9/25-10/3 at CBR

It was me! I got a king room but, wanted a standard. I was at the doctor and out of commission yesterday all day and just saw this a few minutes ago. I figured it would be gone but, it was still there! I just called and got it switched. Thank you so much!! You just saved me $186.68!! When we are there, if you see a short, blonde, chunky girl with a 6' tall man, flag me down and I'll buy you a drink! Thank you again!

@sarahplus4disneymom and DH and I will also be there on those days. Wave or say hello if you see me! Awesome score on your package! I have a feeling these are going to be great dates.

We aren't there yet, but we will be in the same situation. DH will head back early and put the baby to bed, and ODS and I will come back later. I plan to stop by the quiet pool bathroom on our way back to the room. After our trip, I'll be posting pics of the pnp in the sink area as well as how it all worked out for us. We go next week.

Yes, they certainly will be!
Maybe I will find a pic for my avatar so people might recognize me

I'm pretty sure this was already answered, but just in case.

You can get a cab at OPR if you want or you can have it pick you up at your building. Whichever is more convenient for you at that time. If you're already at OPR have the CM at the Concierge Desk call one for you. If you're in your room, call Bell Services and ask them to have one pick you up at your building.

You can't take luggage on the Internal bus so we always call Bell Services and have them take us and our luggage to CH.

Super thanks!!! Good to know about luggage too! So when we arrive will bell services also give a ride to our room??? I would prefer not to have to walk with luggage if possible! Thanks again!
