Hi can I bring in dinner from a resturant(Chevys) to the pool area for our girls volleyball team that will be staying at CBR?

Yes you can bring food into the pool area. We brought food from OPR food court and ate at one of the tables in the pool area.

Not sure how long this has been in effect but to get to blizzard beach from the resort, you now have to take a bus to the animal kingdom and then transfer to a blizzard beach bus. That is not how they used to do it. The bus used to go to both.

When we were there last week, we were going to the Animal Kingdom and the bus we got on was Blizzard Beach/Animal Kingdom and actually stopped at Blizzard Beach before the Animal Kingdom.

This is a new change that just went into effect on May 29. Kind of stinks for us, we'll be there in two days and for the first time, we are doing the water parks during our trip. Oh well, we might just use Uber...

Triple ugh. We arrive on Monday. Hoping the storm moves track or dies down and we won't get drenched.

Of course there is! We arrive on Saturday and my son's bday is Monday. The last time we were there, TS Andrea came through on his birthday. I'm sorry...this must be fault, they follow us.

There are signs in the bus stops now directing the guests to go to animal kingdom and transfer to a blizzard beach bus. The bus driver also made an announcement that they no longer go to the water park in the morning. The new bus stop at Animal Kingdom for Blizzard Beachbis bus stop six.

I believe that the cast members are saying no more than ten days out because room assignments are made approximately a week prior to your arrival date. Having said that, requests can be noted on your reservation well prior to that

My son is a June 6th baby. He is now Artillery in the US Army and is coming to WDW with us in August after his deployment is up in July.

 

[bigbabyblues]

Kevin355, I imagine you are really looking forward to having him back with you. Thanks to him for his service.

How exciting for you all! God bless him and thank him for his service.

Does this happen all day, so no matter what time of day you go or come from BB, you have to take a bus to AK, get off and then transfer to BB? If so, this is so aggravating to the point that I don't think we'll do water parks anymore as I find it really unacceptable as far as a mode of transportation. If we didn't have little ones I guess it wouldn't be as big of a deal, but still...the "cost-saving" measures are really starting to get to me.

This is strange, we were at POP in November and they had a bus stop for Disney Springs & Water Parks. But based on the attachment below, it looks like it is changing everywhere.
We don't normally do the water parks but I agree, This would be so inconvenient to go to AK then have to get off that bus and get on the water parks bus.

I just got this info in an email:

POOL RULES

Hoping someone can help answer my pool questions. I've been many times top Disney but never to CBR. I usually go in Feb. and we have never used the pool late in the evening.

I know the big pool has lifeguards and they close. Do the quite pools close? If so, what time? I am hoping for maybe a late (11ish) swim after leaving the park a night or two.

Thanks

Officially, all the leisure pools close when the Main Feature pools do at all WDW resorts. Sometimes you can enjoy a quiet late night dip, but sometimes not. We've never been asked to leave the leisure pools at CBR after closing but my parents have been at POR, POFQ and Beach Club.

Interesting - it says the Friday movies will be shown at the playground. Didn't someone report that the playground was closed?

I recommend sending an email to Disney with your frustrations. I just sent one this week. Maybe if enough of us complain they will change it.

Won't be late night swimming much longer at the quiet pools. They are raising the walls and putting in gates.
