For those who have checked in recently, did you receive a little cooler bag with some goodies?

What are the buses like on party nights? Do they run as often as non party nights?

 

[SimonSez]

Wondered this myself... GF food seems impossible here outside the tent ( or with any kinda of variety other than a banana for breakfast. ho hum) Not planning to eat here much. Thanks Simonsez and TwinkleKS for your responses.

Welcome

What are the buses like on party nights?

We've only done the Halloween parties and the buses were great. Much less crowded than a non party night.

Do they run as often as non party nights?

Yup.

I didn't. When I called the front desk to inquire they said that I wasn't eligible because I received the $75 gift card per night.

Well that stinks, you should have received one even though you got the gift card. This is what happens when you don't speak to someone who is actually AT the resort. When you called the front desk you actually spoke to someone at on off site call center. And unfortunately, they gave you incorrect information.

How are the buses operating now that the new traffic pattern is in place? Are buses running to both Martinique/OPR/ Trinidad and Jamaica/Aruba in the morning? Trying to see if we should make any particular requests since we are in a standard room. TIA!

Bull hockey. We got both.

I did see an update recently where they had the same items from the cooler bags but they were in a box instead of a bag. Don't know if they'd run out of bags temp or if it was a change

It wasn't the first time I received inaccurate information from a CM on my last trip! My sister, who stayed in the room next to us, gave me much of what was in her bag anyhow. My husband and I were fighting over the included waffles...

DGD loved those waffles. I tried a bite and they were incredibly sweet. I did mean to look up the name of them to see if I could find some for her to have at home for weekends as a treat. I've never seen them before

We got both as well. Checked in on 01-July. The goodie bag was waiting in the room for us.

It looks like Amazon and Walmart.com carry them!

Thank you!

We are looking to find the best standard room on the Caribbean beach resort. We're thinking about Martinique building #22 or Jamaica #45. Which one should we request? We know its not a guaranteed.

Are there microwaves somewhere at CBR now that the food court is gone?
Thanks

Jamaica 45 or Aruba 51 would be my choices.

Hello all! About two months away from our arrival! Yay! Question for you CBR veterans... our flight lands at MCO at 7:40am, we will then get on the ME to head to CBR! We will only need to drop our carry on luggage at the desk, I will probably change and we will go straight to MK. Not even thinking I scheduled a lunch for BOG at 11:25. Think we can make that in plenty of time? Obviously I know things happen... but think I can make it? I've tried my hardest to grab a BOG lunch for our other MK day but no such luck yet!

As I've mentioned on this board before, I was told by a CM that we couldn't use the gift card for room balance, apparently wrong info. Seems they're all over the place on some of this stuff

I think that is an achievable plan as long as you're on a MK bus by 10:30 at the very latest. I'm not sure how long the ride is from MCO or how often they run the ME but three hours from touchdown to getting on a MK bus should give you plenty of time.
