Top Ten Reasons the CBR is so Great!

[mm6mm6]

#10: No one complained (to me anyway) about my snoring in the hammocks on the gorgeous white sand beaches.
#9: None of the ducks bit my DD5 while she fed them (no blood spilled at WDW!)
#8: The waterfall at the main pool is soft enough to massage your shoulders without drowning you under water and causing a pounding headache.
#7: The double sinks in the room alleviated countless statements like, "look what you did in the sink." We just made our own separate messes.
#6: None of the washer/dryers in the laundry "ate" any of our clothes.
#5: Bus service was so good, I had to listen to our minivan's rusted brake rotors for five miles when we left.
#4: The CM's selling the "pick your own pearl from the oyster" jewelry were not very pushy. DW's neck, finger and ankle remain unadorned with one.
#3: We were NOT scolded for using only one CBR mug for all three of us (alternately refilled with Orange Crush, Diet Cola and then Root Beer).
#2: Watermouse CM's helpful and nonplussed when DW rammed dock numerous times.
and the #1 reason the CBR is so great: Parrot Cay Island so clean...no need to rename it Parrot Poop Island!

Great post! Very fun to read! Got any advice for me and my two daughters (8 and 10)for when we stay in August? This is our third time to WDW, and this time the three of us girls plan on hanging out by the pool and just plain relaxing for four days(okay so maybe we'll do Tea at the GF, and a bit of shopping too!) before Dad and big brother arrive on day five for seven more days of serious theme park hopping.

We'd love some tips on room location, food, and stuff to do on premises. We girls plan to take full advantage of not having the boys around!

Thanks

Our waterview 4251 in Jamaica was awesome! Great view of the lake, quiet, close enough to the main pool and restaurant (4-5 minute walk) and super close to the quiet pool, laundry, ice machine and beach. I highly recommend Jamaica since the buses stop there first both coming and going.

GREAT POST!!!!

Every word is true! I've loved CBR from the first time I stayed there (1990?).

However, you forgot one: Sipping strawberry daquiri's while watching Illuminations from the Banana Cabana!

Kim&Chris, I love the Banana Cabana!

mm6mm6, my husband and I really, really enjoy the CBR and I'm glad you had a great time there!

I could have gone on and on, but who wants to read a Top 7843 Reasons the CBR is so Great post?
Sipping the adult beverages under the stars (clouds when we were there....) while watching the fireworks would certainly be wondrous!

Not always. Busses alternate between "A Side" and "B Side"...

A Side - Bus starts at Martinique
B Side - Bus starts at Jamaica

For the "Pick your own Pearl Lovers", sadly they are no longer located at CBR. They lost their space in the makeover. They are still at Animal Kingdom, and wherever else, though.
