After that they go Martinique, Old Port Royal, Trinidad, Jamaica and Aruba.

What is the sequence of stops for the bus in the late afternoon? We're planning to ride the Skyliner from IG to CBR over Marathon Weekend to eat at Sebastian's, and we may need to take the bus from whichever Skyliner station due to having someone who might need to keep walking to a minimum. So if we catch the bus at Jamaica, will it go to Aruba before it goes to OPR?

If you get off the Skyliner at the CBR station you'd get on the internal shuttle at Jamaica. Then the bus would go to Aruba, Martinique, and then Old Port Royal.
If you get off at the Riviera station, you'll get on the shuttle at the Aruba stop. Then it would stop at Martinique and Old Port Royal.

Had a great 4 night stay at CBR last week . Standard rate in Aruba. But my left arm is full of bed bug bites that are still itching a week later. Verified by my PCP. My son was with me and he has no bites.

Just an FYI really. It happens. Id happily stay there again tomorrow. I assume since the bites range in the 10-15 number in a single area that it wasn't a huge infestation. Maybe a single bug from a previous traveler.

Check you mattresses on check in. Even at WDW!

Yup, completely agree. The only time we've ever experienced bed bugs was at the Grand Floridian. It can happen anywhere.

Was there or did anyone use a GP discount at CBR this past August/September time-frame? If so, how much was the discount and what time room?

Nice. I would have thought the standard rooms would have been excluded. Thanks.

Can anyone with a recent stay at CBR in a standard room (5th sleeper, water view) tell me about any disposable amenities provided? For example, we stayed on the DVC side of the Polynesian last year and they provided a roll of paper towels, disposable plates and utensils, and disposable cups. I had also ordered these same items from grocery delivery so it was pretty wasteful so I just wanted to see if I should get expect the same at CBR and not order them again, or if that was because it was a DVC room?

Also - how big is the beverage cooler in terms of like how many standard bottles of water could I fit in there for reference? Just trying to line up a reasonable Amazon fresh order!

I am here right now in 5th bdr water view. There are paper cups, nothing else not even spoons. I estimate maybe 8 bottles of water in cooler (standing up, maybe 10).

Thank you so much! Very helpful!

We have a water view room. We requested Jamaica or Trinidad. What can we expect for location within those areas for water view. Hoping for as close to bus stop and skyliner hub!

That is standard for DVC studios. Not for regular hotel rooms at Disney.

Every island has it's own bus stop so you'll never be far from one. If you're in Jamaica 45 or 44, you'll be very close to the Main Feature pool and the food court and pretty close to the Skyliner station. If you're in Jamaica 41,:42 or 43 you'll be closer to the Skyliner station but not too far from the Main Feature pool and food court. If you're in Trinidad you'll be pretty far from the Main Feature pool and food court. And a good walk to the Skyliner station. You're best bet is Jamaica.

Hello - Moving to CBR for 1 night after 3 nights at the Dolphin. I have a pool/water view booked (least expensive option available). I plan to either check in or drop my bags during an afternoon break, then take the bus to MK around 5 or 6. I don't mind walking but would prefer not to be on ground floor. Should I/can I request upper floor in advance? Any other requests I should make? The next day I'll be dropping my bags will bell services and heading to Riveria for breakfast, then either shopping at Disney Springs or relaxing by the pool, depending on the weather. Thanks!
