Hello! asking for advise for a family trip with kids aged 4, 6, 8. Trinidad sounds good as I've read they have the themed rooms and it's close to skyliner. However, I think my kids will want to go to the main pool every day. How far is the walk to the main pool? Is it too cold for the pool in February? Would you recommend a room in a different building so its a shorter distance?
We will be going to all 4 parks, one day per park. Thanks so much!!!!

I can't answer your building questions, but I live in FL. Weather in Feb can be all over the place. Early or late Feb?

You certainly have a chance of pool weather, but honestly, there is no way to know this far ahead. The weather in FL is very changeable from one hour to the next. I looked at a couple of websites, which say the average high is 74 and the average low is 52.

Trinidad can actually be quite a hike to both the main pool and the skyliner, depending on how far south you are. If you are set on having a Little Mermaid room, I would request building 34 and hope for the northern best of that section.

We stayed in Jamaica to be close to the Skyliner. My kids were 3 and 7 at the time. Worked beautifully. I think we were in building 44, so we were close to the Jamaica pool and not far from the walkway across the "island" to the main pool. Maybe a five minute walk to the main pool? It wasn't bad, even at the end of a park day. (I took my kids one night around 8PM after a full day at the park.)

I have gotten into a pool at WDW in February. It wasn't hot - upper 60s, low 70s? - but it was doable, coming from the Midwest. The pools are heated, so once you're in, you adjust quickly and can have a pretty good time. That said, the weather can vary wildly, so YMMV. Caribbean Beach's feature pool is one of the best, IMO, so I hope you get to enjoy it!

We were in building 44 as well and thought it was perfect!

Thanks so much! I think I will request a building closer to the main pool and lobby.

We were there two weeks ago - were in Aruba, building 56. Literally around the corner from the Riviera skyline station (our room, 5637, overlooked the Aruba bus stop).

Beautiful resort, just as I remember. The walk to OPR and such, however - what a drag after a 30k step day, ha! Each time we waited for the internal shuttle, it blew right by us.

Sebastian's was delicious and such a nice addition to this resort. Lobby and CMs were top notch.

I doubt we will stay here again, we are Pop-junkies, but it is such a nice place and I am glad we tried it again!

I haven't stayed at CBR before, but am interested in a spring stay. I just checked the new AP discounts, and it looks like the times in March when my AP isn't blocked out only have preferred rooms. I was hoping for a standard. Anyway, it looks like Barbados may be pretty close to the Skyliner? I don't think I would want Martinique, because it's not near the Skyliner at all. Am I on target with this? Any idea how long of a walk to the Skyliner it is from building 31, which seems to be the farthest away? Thanks for any input.
