Just booked our second stay at CBR but first since like 2013...is there a more recent resort thread with updated pics and info that 2015?

What would be the first bus stop? Martinique?

I'm hardly a good source. But in 2004, Martinique was the first stop. Man, that was nice. And form what I'm reading here, if Aruba is the last stop, then nothing has changed.

What would be the first bus stop? Martinique?

When we were there Jan 2020 - the order of the stops were different depending on the park you were traveling to. I think it has to do with where the bus enters the resort.

Last year when we came back from AK the bus came in the main entrance stopped at Jamaica, Aruba, Martinique, OPR, Barbados, then Trinidad.

When we came back from MK, the bus entered north of CBR, close to Riviera, they stopped at Martinique, OPR, Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica then Aruba.

They were not splitting the resort and it was busy, we were there MLK weekend - Jan 2020.

Ok thank you!

Has anyone tried using the bus stop at The Riviera in the mornings? I thought it might be easier to get an empty bus there early since it's a smaller resort.

When I was there last November, it was the small circular filtered single-serve Coffee Pods. They did provide some from Joffrey. But I had gone to Amazon and purchased my own to make sure I had enough.

Like these?

Hi - we are staying here for the first time in March. Booked a water view and hoping for Aruba, near the bridge. What are our best options to grab a coffee and pastry in the mornings for breakfast? Something quick and convenient? In the Riviera or the main building? Thanks!

I just booked CBR Preferred room last weekend for Christmas 2021. We are a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids-17, 15, 12). I just had a moment of panic when I went back to look at availability again today and this room states it could be 2 queens or 2 queens with a pull down bed. With 5 are we “guaranteed” a room with a pull down? I am nervous I booked the wrong room and room rates have increased! Please help!

Yes, you'll be fine. They'll only put you in a room that can accommodate all guests on the reservation.

My apologies as I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but I still can't quite get a grip on the right answer (maybe because there isn't one!)

If HS opens at 9 am, what time does the Skyliner start running? What time do people start lining up? Is it already super long by 8 am?

I went to Hollywood studios on 2/3. My room is in building 41 and the sky liner is right outside my door. I left the room at 7:35am and arrived to quite a line inside the main sky liner station.
Sorry I can’t seem to turn the photo. It is time stamped for 7:41am. Sky liner from pop/art of animation were arriving and the line built very quickly. I am going to try for a boarding group tomorrow and plan on being at the sky liner at 7:30 .

Thanks for the info! What time did you board (if you remember) and arrive at HS?

According to my pictures I was in a sky liner cabin at 7:53am and waiting at temp check at 8:00am. They did not start letting us in until 8:15.

Super helpful, and so smart to take pics for time stamps. Thanks!

So long as all 5 are listed on the reservation, yes. They will put you in a room with a pulldown bed.

What will options be for dining at Caribbean Beach for our stay in late March? Is the quick service open? Do you have to pre-order? Is there any grab and go for breakfast? Thanks!

So you can't come in and grab a bottle of water or any kind of grab and go at the resort?
