Getting to your room at Carribean Resort from Magical Express stop

[freemore]

DH and I will have scooters waiting for us at Carribean Resort. We will be using the Magical Express to get there. If our room is a long way from where the Magical Express Drop Off is will we be able to drive our scooters to our rooms or will we have to take the bus? I'm wondering how we will handle what small carry on luggage we will have? I understand the Magical Express will take our checked luggage to our room later? We used the Magical Express when we stayed at WL but the room was close. We haven't stayed at a Moderate before and don't really have a feel for what the differences will be as far as getting back and forth from our room to the check in and restaurant. thanks a lot

Last time I stayed at CBR and had an ECV Bell Services delivered it to our room. Your best bet is, once you have checked in, ask to speak to a Bell Services Supervisor and explain your situation. They will be able to take care of you.

CBR was the first moderate built and it has a different 'format' than the other ones. The check-in area is in a separate building, away from the food court/shopping area and the other buildings.
Here's a link to the map of CBR.
That 'format' was not followed at the other moderate resorts that were built after. One probable reason was the difficulty with having to have everyone and all their luggage transported to their rooms by Bell Services.

Question from freemore:
Thanks for the informaiton, did they deliver it to your room after you got there and asked them to.....or had they already delivered it to your room when you got there? Thanks

in some cases your room will only be tentatively assigned before you arrive. The final assignment will be made when you check in. Bell Services would most likely wait until after you have arrived and request delivery.

You can ride yourself anywhere from Custom House. I was in Trinidad North and drove down there wth my powerchair, but even if you are in Trinidad South (furthest away) it's a nice trip and not too long. Depending on when the internal bus shows up, you can even beat the bus to the room!

You can't take luggage on the internal bus. Therefor, at CBR you can let bell service deliver the whole thing (which I did, they were there about 10 minutes after I got to the room, also with my checked luggage) and walk/bus yourself to the room or let yourself be brought to the room with one of the many carts they drive around. On this you can bring your luggage as I was told. They've got carts (think it was a van? Don't know for sure) that'll take a wheelchair, I was told, but when asking -couldn't believe it- about it taking a powerchair, they seemed to realise they could take a manual chair and that's it. No prob! I just drove myself back to Custom House when it was time to leave and all of my stuff was there waiting for me allready (had bell service pick it up).

The pathway to and from Custom House is paved and easily to spot. While you will have to cross a road, it's an OK cross. Proper view, warning signs for the cars etc. Every bus I've encountered (or while riding the bus and somebody else wanted to cross the road) stops and I only run into 1 'tourist' car that was doubtfull for a moment if they should break (yes, there is a pedestrians thingie, how do you call them, the thing with the black-white stripes on the road) and then did break with enough time and room to spare.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. If you've got any worries or problems, just ask for the manager Cedric. He was exceptional when I was there and really geared to making any stay a good one.
