The New Caribbean Beach FAQ Part VII

[prettypolkadots]

My husband and I will be taking our first trip to Disney Dec 14-19 and are staying at CBR! We are so excited as we love Christmas and Disney! This will be our first trip together, his first trip EVER, and my first since I was about 9 years old, so I know A LOT has changed. Grateful I found this thread to keep up and get organized with my planning.

does any one no how many plug sockets there are in a room

In my refurbished king room, it looks like there were at least 8: two in each nightstand (along with two USB ports), two in the vanity area, and two by the table.

Beach Bum's Roll Call ~ Who will be staying at CBR and when.

Hello all.

We haven't actually booked anything yet but, as of right now we are planning to be at CBR May 9-16, 2015.

My husband and I stayed at CBR for our honeymoon in September 1996. We've been back to WDW a few times but have stayed at a few different resorts so, this will be our first time back at CBR in over 18 years.

If our dates hold, we will be celebrating our daughter's 8th birthday while we're there so, we're looking forward to doing that.

Our last two trips, we've been accompanied by other family members on their first-ever visits to WDW and I have played the part of "tour guide" for them. Both of those trips were a lot of fun. They were also unusually exhausting. I am really looking forward to spending this upcoming vacation with just the three of us. While I'm excited about all the parks and rides and food and the usual Disney World stuff, I'm especially ready to take some time, wander the resort and just take a slower approach, in general.

Thanks to mickeystoontown for mentioning the CBR board on her trip reports and always posting such wonderful photos and info about the resort. And very fun TRs too!

And thanks to dansdad for maintaining this thread. I plan to keep reading up during my... 243-day countdown.

Happy Monday, y'all!

I understand traveling how exhausting it can be when you are the tour guide. We may have some newbies traveling with us next trip. I can't wait to see how they like it.

I am glad that my trip reports are entertaining and that my pictures help others when planning their stays at the CBR. I should have more informative type pictures coming up and will you guys know when I do.

Congrats to all doing the happy dance or who will be doing it shortly.

45 days out for us...and it is snowing here lol.

I don't know a better incentive to making the final payment deadline today than snow, lol.

Cheers!

Hi. Thanks so much for all the info on this thread!!

I'll be coming to CBR from the UK August 24 - 5 September 2015.

Had a few reservations as have seen some bad reviews but after reading the boards I am so much more relaxed!!

We had snow here today, too. I know exactly how you feel. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the winter with no trip of any kind planned. Somehow looking forward to November 2015 will have to do this time.

Been wondering if the refurb might slow down when they get to the preferred buildings. It seems they have 3 buildings closed at any one time at present, which would be half of preferred. Might just do a building at a time?

 

[oj01]

Can room / building requests be emailed in? Much easier from here in the UK (well, cheaper anyway!) If not, what's the number to call ring from the UK please?

Thanks
