Hints and tips for CBR

[Daisy712]

Hello,

We are going to WDW the week of July 21. We are staying at CBR, Husband, Myself, 2 teen girls, and 2 teen boys. I haven't stayed there since our honeymoon in 1989. Do you have any tips or hints for CBR? We are staying in a regular rooms. We plan to dine at the counter service at the main building.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure what tips you are looking for. CBR is great. Definitely try and request a building closer to OPR. Although with teens, they should be fine with the walk. Enjoy!

Make sure you have CONNECTING rooms on your reservation and not adjoining rooms...so you have the door between your two rooms. Kids being Kids you may want to keep an eye on their coming and goings. We've been in Jamaica and Barbados...love the CBR.

Bring good walking shoes! The resort is quite large and if you have a room far from the pool/food area you could have a good distance to walk each day. Like a pp said try to request a room close to those areas.

Request to be in Martinique. It isn't far from bus stops (the first stop of the resort) and from Old Port Royale, which is where the food court is. We got lucky and stayed there, and it was absolutely perfect. We were in Building 26, but building 25 isn't that much further. Our walk to the bus stop and OPR was less than a minute, plus, it was one of the quietest rooms we've stayed in at Disney!

CBR is my favorite mod!

Request Trinidad North - it's right next to the food court, main pool, etc., we also stayed in Aruba which was a little further away but a nice walk across the bridge

Is there a bar or lounge at CBR?

One hint to remember is there is an Internal resort bus. This is just like the park buses, but it only travels to the "islands", and the Carriage House. So if you don't want to walk somewhere within your resort, you can wait 5 to 10 minutes and the internal bus will come along.

Another hint would be that they have a second concierge desk located in Old Port Royale. So if you need tix to a dinner show, or anything else that is offered by concierge, you can just go there and not all the way back to Carriage House.

Is there a bar or lounge at CBR?

There is a cabana style bar at the main pool. It is opened till Midnight I believe. They also sell beer and liquor at the gift shop.
