Too COOL!!!!!

Forget it....I could not wait!!!

We have been talking about going next fall provided DH's work schedule complies....Well, I just called and booked a couple of weeks late Sept/Oct 2009!!! I have booked us in at CBR, preferred room and requested the Trinidad South section!!!!

Can you all sprinkle me with a little that the rooms & pool will be completed in time and that my jumping the gun will result in a cool pirate-themed room?! Oh, and I am also hoping that free dining will be offered next Sept! (I am asking a lot, I know, but it is Disney and dreams can come true there, right?)

[CaptainSad]

You all know these rooms will probably cost more don't you..

Just a random thought to throw out, but it seems this new "basic" dining plan is being introduced so it can be used as the new giveaway so that next september they don't have the massive reservation problems for table service restaurants...

COOL!!!! We are so planning our 2010 vacation! I am thinking Feb that way Harry Potter will be open and we can stay in the new cool resort area!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the preferred rooms were all located in Martinique and Trinidad NORTH. Unless they change the new pirate themed rooms to preferred then booking a preferred room would not get you one of these new rooms, which are said to all be located in Trinidad SOUTH. Otherwise I am sure that the pool will be ready by your trip next year. Rumor has it that the pool may be finished as early as late next month. I would guess that it is a good chance the rooms will be completed by then as well. We are hoping to stay here in the near future as well, but like you we want to hold out for the new pirate rooms. Good luck with your plans.

I am chancing it, we were talking about going then anyway, so I will just roll the dice and see what happens. I can't imagine them NOT making the pirate room preferred, if not charging more for them as they do with the family suits at the All Star.

There is no guarantee for the rooms and I will just have to keep my eyes open for future announcements regarding them. I have voiced my requests with Disney and will see what happens.

[buzznwoodysmom]

Good luck Lea-Ann! I know how much my boys would love to stay in one of these rooms as well. I agree that Disney will most likely charge more for these rooms. Just keep an eye out for when the new room catagory is announced that way you can hopefully snatch one up. I wonder how fast these rooms will book once finished. Hopefully there will be a way for you to actually book a priate room and not just book preferred and end up with whatever you get. If not for the pirate room, there are many other resorts in Disney that we would rather stay at.

Any word on what is going to happen with the deluxe dining plan?

Has anyone had a confirmation from disney about the NEMO themeing to some of the CBR rooms? I am getting nothing but conflicting info and am getting frustrated. CBR (when I called them tonight) said that the picture of the rooms that is on disneyworld.com is what the rooms look like and if you look at the picture, it is the same that it had been before these rumors started. So what is going on?!

[Minnie Imagineer]

hmmm...I love the idea, but I don't like the concept art. I can think of some better ideas (or improvment) to the pirate rooms. I just think it is kind of plain and boring

Imagineering: contact me LOL!

[Imagineer1981]

Its about time the rooms got a refurb...they were looking rough.

Even if this is the case, free is still free. I'd take it.

So this is cool and all..But I already have questions about the dining...Like..Is this a seperate plan?...or can it be added into the original dp?...Are they going to inlcude the refillable mug with the original ddp?....There needs to be some clarification here people

It looks like there are now going to be three options for when you book "A dining plan". You will be asked which option you want, basic, regular, or deluxe. Adding a refillable mug to the original dining plan will be answered when the new packages come out in August. Unless Disney makes another announcement beforehand.

[Goofeygal]

That will be so cool.

[brewcrew26]

That is awesome. Is Trinidad South going to be a testing ground before it moves to other islands? I wonder if they'll change the Shutters restaurant to reflect the new theming, too?

Are these renovations taking place soon?

[Bethis26fan]

That sounds cool to me.

[luvdiznee]

Another reason to go back to one of my favorite resorts!

[moe513]

The pirate room looks so cute,plus great planning when into putting it in Trinadad South were people dont like to stay.

[yjgirl32]

Wow they look really cool- we are planning a trip for Sept 2009 at the POFQ but maybe I will switch. My son would love this room.

Yeh I think there needs to be more clarification about the dining. By the time I go hopefully it will be all cleared up.

[Fantasmic]

Those rooms look SO cool!

I think I would stick with the original DDP, if we go in 2009, as it would be nice to eat in restaurants that I wouldn't normally
