MamaMagoo: For some reason, I can't quote your post. There is no separate thread for CBR specific trip reports. I have tons of pictures and information in my trip report. Click on the link in my signature. Links to each chapter are in the second post.

Do not need your Magic Band to get in the gate at the pool. Someone posted on another thread that the pools that are getting refurbished are have gates now because of of a change in the safety regulations.

Thank you both!

I'm getting excited for my upcoming stay at CBR! Is the food court the only mug refill station at the resort? Is there a pool bar? Thanks

Yes, there is a pool bar. The only mug station is in OPR, which is steps away from the bar.

Thanks so much!

Besides the money is their a reason why people are more interested in standard view then pool/lakeview. Reason I ask this is because for $120. more I can stay in a standard room versus the lakeview. It will be more stressful getting their a day earlier but will be so nice being in Disney a day earlier.

Only answering for my family, it's all about the $$. We don't feel the extra $$ is worth it for a preferred or water/lake view room over a standard room. We can stay 10-11 nights instead of 7 with the $$ saved by staying standard.

Because even though it is a pool/lakeview it isn't...there is a walkway outside each room so it is not like a deluxe pool/lake view and no need to pay for it at a moderate-a deluxe is a different story.

We'll we are there for 17 days so the price difference from a water view to standard is 600.00. We usually stay at pop because we prefer the QSDP. But we wanted to upgrade this year to the regular plan. . But the price difference to upgrade to a moderate was only 150.00 more than pop once we upgraded the dining plan. I f I had to pay another 600.00 for a view I didn't want we would of stuck with pop and the QSDP.

Thank You so much for your reply! I have switched reservations so many times I think CM on phone is going to order a skunk in my room upon check in.

So have a weird question . I have severe asthma and lots of things trigger it. I have hea Rd that you can have a deep clean of the room before you arrive. Do you know if CBS does this? If so what is it called and how do I get added to our reservation ?

It's called a VIP Cleaning and yes, all WDW resorts offer this. Call the main reservations line and add a request for a VIP Cleaning.

Do they really do it? Will it affect the rest of your requests? The allergies and asthma in our family is severe.

Do they really do it?.

In our experiences, yes they do it.

Will it affect the rest of your requests?.

We've always gotten our other room requests along with the VIP Cleaning. Sometimes we have to wait until 3:00 for our room to be ready, but it's worth the wait.

The allergies and asthma in our family is severe.

Same here. We always travel with a nebulizer and our trips to WDW are the only times we never have to use it.

Mainly shorts and short sleeve shirts. But I would also throw in a pair or 2 of jean/pants/capris, a couple long sleeve shirts and a light jacket just in case you get some cool nights.

 

[Amberleefuta]

Thanks. We will be coming from frigid weather so I'm sure it will feel like a heat wave.
