    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Yes, we had something similar. We booked late last year, originally splitting our trip between Fort Wilderness (4 nights) and Caribbean Beach (5 nights). After the gift card announcement we started playing with the lengths at each resort and ended up staying the full nine nights at CBR and we...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I saw another video that had larger cars. I think the article I read that accompanied it said the gondolas Disney is looking at will hold 10-12, so about half of a monorail car (or is it a quarter?). Either way, it shouldn't be so cramped. Like the monorail!

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I think that is an achievable plan as long as you're on a MK bus by 10:30 at the very latest. I'm not sure how long the ride is from MCO or how often they run the ME but three hours from touchdown to getting on a MK bus should give you plenty of time.

    We got both as well. Checked in on 01-July. The goodie bag was waiting in the room for us.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We made multiple changes to our reservations and still received our gift card when we got to CBR. We originally had five nights at Fort Wilderness and six at CBR, then we started swapping days from one resort to the other. I think we made four or five changed along the way and we ended up...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    There is some land clearing going on on the Aruba and Jamaica side, south of the road, across the lake from Trinidad South. There hasn't been any grading done yet, just clearing the land. I'm wondering if it's the rumored gondolas or if Disney has something else up their sleeves? Aside from...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We are in Trinidad South, checked in Saturday and staying to the 10th. We've been to each of the parks (and DS) and saw the One Fives (as it reads on their t-shirts) at every park except AK. I haven't seen them in the resort, but I wouldn't really expect to if they are in Aruba. We had a pool...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    No reminders were sent out. They have it setup on Caribbean Cay right next to the playground, at the very top end of the island, but there are no signs. The pirate captain, first mate, and a helper get out there 30 minutes before the scheduled departure to get everyone signed in, get name...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We ran into a large Latin American group last October. We weren't staying at CBR but we saw them (or a portion of them) whenever we went to MK or Epcot. I haven't seen them this trip, yet, but we've been here only one day and have only gone to AK. Are they even here now? I haven't heard any...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I checked in yesterday and asked specifically about this. She told me that the buffet is QS dining and the only change they have is that there will be a different menu for July 3 & 4 (and it'll still be QS on those days).

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Based on the Disney site it's still a QS (at least at the time of this posting) as shown in the upper right of the menu page: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/caribbean-beach-resort/centertown-buffet/menus/dinner/ I will say, based on the reviews here, is that if this is a TS then...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    My point is neither are official Disney communications. And I think wdwinfo was misleading because the Cabana Pool Bar was torn down. It might be resurrected, but I haven't seen clear plans as to what specifically is being built/updated.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    From Undercover Tourist, I found this: May 1, 2017- June 30, 2018: Old Port Royale Food Court, Shutters at Old Port Royale, Cabana Pool Bar and Calypso Trading Post will be closed. There will be a variety of dining options available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Centertown will serve...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Probably not. We didn't get any notification or reminders for our previous reservation, though they were at Grand Floridian and the resort was under normal operation. My kids go cruising on 02-July. If we don't get an answer prior to then, I will post an update and maybe pictures of the...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I have been searching the better part of the last two hours for this and couldn't find an answer. With all the construction going on, how can we get to the docks? Can we go along the waterfront from the pool or do we have to go all the way around OPR to get there? My kids are doing the Pirate...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Per an article I read from the Orlando Sentinel (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-bz-disney-world-coronado-springs-20170216-story.html), Coronado Springs is getting the 15-story building. Caribbean Beach's tower is going to be shorter. This link gives the most detail I've seen about...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Does this mean that the guests in Aruba and Jamaica will have to drive past all of the other islands (via Cayman Way) to get back to their buildings? Or will the little auxiliary exit/entrance be available? There is also an auxiliary road exiting south... is that not available to use? I...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Why would you do that? Just drive to the resort. I've never had an issue with doing that... even to Grand Floridian, Polynesian, or Wilderness Lodge. For those I had a reason to be there (reservation) but when I wanted to get beignets at Sassagoula, I just told the guard that's where we're...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We were wondering about HS Fireworks! Anyone have experience watching from Trinidad South? I imagine if you can see them from Jamaica that you would be able to see from TS. (We're not too concerned about the soundtrack)

    I didn't think there was any work being done in TS. What's going on there? We'll be there in 6 weeks.
