Resort Thread Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH Resort

[KNovacovschi]

There's marshmallows available to roast and sticks to use free of charge. If you want to make s'mores you have to bring your own chocolate and graham crackers. Both of which are available in the gift shop. But you can have/roast as many marshmallows as you want.

What's this, free marshmallow roasting? I am so in. I didn't know about this and thought it was just at FW. Just one more thing to be excited about.

For the Caribbean Campfire on Martinique Beach, do they do s'mores there? If so, how much is the cost to buy the supplies for s'mores and is that cost per s'more or does the price include the ability to make multiple s'mores.

What time is the Caribbean Campfire? or does it vary depending on time of year?

According to the calendar for August it is on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6:30-7:30pm. Idk if that changes each month.

It does change slightly depending on the month. It usually starts 2.5 hours before the outdoor movies start. And the movie start time will change depend on sunset.

Quick question...we are celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday during our visit. Would CBR hang a banner for me inside our room if I mail it in advance or am I required to use the resort celebrations? I don't want them to go all out, just hang a banner. Thanks!

Logistical Question about luggage at CBR.

We go to Disney often, but this is the first year we're staying at CBR...how does luggage work on your departure day? I think it looks like you walk your luggage that you're going to check with the airline to the custom house and do that part there?

What about carry-on's that you need Disney to hold for you? I'm assuming it goes to bell services, is that at the custom house or somewhere else?

And just for good measure since I haven't gotten much feedback, if you have any experience with going to/returning from either water park to CBR since Disney changed their direCT transportation, can you tell me how that works. Is it direct service to both in the morning, but transfers after 2?

TIA!

We have always called Bell Services and asked them to come pick us, and our luggage, up and bring us to The Custom House.

At the Custom House.

I'm sorry, we haven't been back since they made the change so I'm not sure. Hopefully someone who has been recently will be by to answer.

Thank you! We are going in Dec, so I am guessing it will be earlier.

Most likely, yes. I'm just not sure what time exactly.

On our departure day we asked the Bell Servive CM who picked us up to take luggage and us to custom house if he wanted our water, snacks and bottle of wine he took water and snacks did not take the wine was happy to have them.

We are back home now. We ended up giving the cases of water to different folks that we saw buying water bottles. So it worked out.

Does anyone know if all the pools are done being updated?

With regards to water parks I am trying it out tomorrow but it's a bus to Disney Springs and then onto water park and I think typhoon lagoon is a bus to animal kingdom and change for blizzard. Bit of a faff but no big few but will report back.

That would be great if you could let us know your experience. Thanks!

What is a surprise is no transportation provided by outside companies that I can see for non Disney parks. Taxis are a staggering cost but half the price is uber so going to try that. €19 dollars for Seaworld is a bargain. Hotel allow uber onsite.

Other tip is not worry about weather. We have changed plans twice in 3 days because if forecasts only to find out it was fine gggrrr.

Final thing... I now get why there is the debate over location. This place is massive but fab. We chose room close to bus stop at Martinique over grabbing coffee and breakfast lol. 4 min walk to facilities. Bus service is a dream and no waiting.
