Here now and I have to say we enjoy it. They did downgrade us from a water view room which I had booked. They said they ran out of them. We were reimbursed and it was kind of a bummer but honestly we are hardly in the rooms. I’m not one to complain over something like that so we just ‘let it go’ and moved on to a wonderful vacation. Our room is in Jamaica 45. Wonderful location to OPR. Don’t see any fencing or ugly construction. Yes the sky bucket gondalas are not in keeping with resort theme and tranquility but I imagine they will be very efficient. We went to food court and spyglass grill at 7:00 each morning and seemed to beat the rush. Much busier after we finished eating. Spyglass today we ordered a to go breakfast. Took quite a while to make bacon but again not a big deal. One funny but seriously not funny thing: I’m claustrophobic. It’s embarassing but is what it is. I’m 43 and about 115 pounds. I was going down the water slide, my kids had just gone, and as soon as I started they stopped the water. I got stuck inside the hot tunnel and couldn’t move. Tried to climb up and out but kept slipping. Below me was just a dark hot tunnel and with no way to tell how long it would go I was afraid to inch my way down. Tried to push off and slide down but I was stuck. Lasted about a minute which doesn’t seem long but man it was horrible. I have bruises from trying to get out. I don’t think anyone would enjoy that experience and for me it was torture. I didn’t go complain but say it here to just make people aware. They turn off slide water if a whistle in the pool is blown for any reason. Maybe I’m the only crazy mom that would want to go down the slide anyways and hopefully a kid would have kept going but I just wanted everyone to know it’s a possibility. My family all laugh about it now. They could hear me calling for help. This is my first time back to CBR in 13 years. I really do find it peaceful, roomy, we love having the fifth sleeping space. The food has been on par with what we would expect. Decent not blow me away. But we are o my doing quick service this trip. My kids and husband loved the tacos from Spyglass. I’m typing this while relaxing on the beach in Jamaica as my teenage daughter reads in a hammock nearby. I believe a Disney vacation is what you make it. I believe in planning and then the ‘let it go to make room for more magic’ mentality. That process hasn’t failed me in 12 trips to WDW. We have two more days here and I know I’ll miss Disney and CBR as soon as we leave. But not that dang slide
