51 days!!!!!!!!! I've been counting down since the high 200's, now it's getting real! I have asked this before but I didn't get any feedback. We have booked 2 preferred rooms, should I request a certain building??

I LOVE this site! There is so much helpful info on here! We are planning our second Disney vacation for November 2016, but this will be our first time staying on property. I'm so very excited to stay at CBR

Have you looked here?? http://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/hotels/disneys-caribbean-beach-resort

There's a photo of the view from each and every room, and an interactive map where you can pick buildings based on what you've paid for (preferred, water view, etc). Hope that helps!

If I do online check in do I even need to stop at custom house?

When I get off of ME bus, do I just jump on an intra resort bus?

 

[tash439]

No we did not put in a request either time for a king, just the upgrade fairy was on our side. Wouldn't mind if the upgrade fairy sent us to AKL on our next trip.

Me either! I would kiss the upgrade fairy for that!

Okay, I'm looking around and can't find any information about the boat you can take from Trinidad South to OPR or what's involved in the Trinidad South refurbs that are supposed to be don in early October.

We'll be there Oct. 30 - Nov. 4.

Thanks to everyone who has posted the room numbers of rooms that accommodate 5. I've updated the list as of this a.m.

Any recommendations for a king room with a great view?

 

[LisaGoeke]

Do the rooms have microwaves? I thought I read somewhere they didn't, but when reading the link that Alliecat33 posted above, it says that they can be found in each room.

No microwaves in the rooms. They are available for use at Old Port Royale though.
ETA: I just went to that link and read that microwaves are included. I've stayed at CBR 3 times in the last year and none of the rooms had a microwave. The website is incorrect.

Anyone know which rooms in Jamaica 44, 45, or 46 have Murphy beds?

 

[mickeystoontown]

The touringplans.com site is definitely incorrect when they say that there are microwaves in the rooms. There are microwaves in the food court that guests can use though.

If you get a text message saying your room is ready then no, you can go straight to your room.

We were just there June 20th-25th and can confirm this. No microwaves in the rooms.

But if it's on the internet it has to be true, right.

YES, i can say the room we had was the PERFECT view .. the ones where you can see the railing are thru the window the other one i just opened the door and used the zoom! As the room# suggests, Jamaica 42 AND in case you're wondering, it was that sunny and glorious the entire 2 weeks!

Yeah, for a long time, that would have been considered early. We got our DME letter/tags for our November trip in January. I booked our flights, put it into DME online, and a couple of weeks later, there they were! Who knows...

Can you tell me how to do this?? I have been searching for weeks for how to put my flight info on DME and can't find it. I finally called, but now my flight number has changed so this would be handy!

11 days left and getting very excited for my daughter's surprise birthday trip.
I was wondering if at check-in would someone be able to blow up 3 birthday balloons and deliver it to the room for a surprise for my daughter?

Hello everyone! I am getting excited for my trip which begins soon, although I won't be at WDW for another month and a half. I have been following updates on the new quick service dining rules, particularly about being able to switch the drink for a rice krispie treat (we don't have marshmallows or rice krispies here where I live). Does anyone know if this is happening yet? If not, I was reading a menu which says that there are smoothies available in the food court. Would they count as the drink component of the quick service meal plan?

I appreciate any enlightenment you may be able to provide
