You know, the people who complain about anything non-DVC. 
I am here for the week. However, I could not get Sunday at the Boardwalk, so I booked a night's stay at the Carribean Beach Resort.
Never again.
When I checked in (and I was only second in line!), I had to wait about 15 minutes. The people ahead of me were being helped, and there were three other stations with cast members with heads looking down, working on God knows what.
Finally, I get called over.
I get put in building 42, second floor.
Looking at the map, it was 10 million miles away. And the cm told me that I could not take my luggage with me on the Disney buses that come in and out of the property.
I told him I wasn't going to walk my luggage all the way to the room and that I would die before getting half way there.
They had someone from the bell services take me in one of the vans.
Yeesh.
Then, I get into the room and it looked small. I know, I know, I'm used to our villas.
I figure, "I'll make the best of it. I'm only here for the night."
That's when I got into the king size bed.
It looked comfortable.
Did you ever hear, "Looks can be deceiving?"
You're seen those commercials for Disney where three or four children are jumping up and down on a bed?
I think it was filmed in my room!
The bed was awful and it squeaked with every turn I made.
The four pillows were all hard.
I was miserable.
Anyway, that's over. And I vow never again to stay an extra night if I cannot immediately be booked into a DVC unit.
I am now esconced in a one room villa at the Boardwalk and am loving it.
On the second/main floor. Some of the pictures show a view of the front from my veranda.

Perhaps acting less like a child and more like an adult would help?
! Did I mention my BIL is an OB/GYN? 
We stayed at PORS our first night of our trip 11/21-12/1/2008. And, even the kids thought the room was small. We LOVE 
our 2 bedroom at SSR!!
