Thanks for the pics. The room definitely looks fresher, the rooms really needed it. Good thing they found that super themed shower curtain...lol, seriously plain white.......come on disney.....do better than that.
Yes, that's correct. We had a 4 night stay at a mod recently, checked in Wed, 1st day of cleaning was Friday, checked out Sunday so only had housekeeping one time in a 4 night stay.
So the LM rooms are in Trinidad and are a pretty long haul from the main pool/lobby, I'd say could be anywhere from 6 min or as long as 10, depending on which building in Trinidad. Also, depending on which walkway you take, you might never even walk past the main pool. If you won't be swimming, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's sort of behind the main lobby but before the pool bar and walking bridge to the other buildings. You might see it, but I doubt any construction equipment would take away from your stay in Trinidad which is about a half a mile away.
that's correct, skyliner resorts do not have any bus service to Epcot or DHS. The only time they have bus service is when the skyliner goes down for incliment weather. The easiest option is to uber/minnie van to Epcot or drive, if you'll have a car. Another round about option is to take the bus from CBR to MK, get on the ferry/monorail to the TTC and take the epcot monorail over. If you don't want to drive/uber, and it's after 2, you could take the bus to disney springs, take a resort bus that has epcot bus service and bus from that resort to Epcot. That's a lot of extra steps that aren't needed and imo a waste of time. I'm sure there may be a few more options I'm missing.
ok thanks some one also said they still do have busses they just dont go as often.
No bus service to those parks at all unless they're down for weather. I've stayed at CBR several times since the skyliner came online and when you look at the bus schedule for epcot/DHS, it will say "use skyliner". My two cents with kids and stroller, I'd uber/minnie van or bus to MK to save your steps. Plus, I think the wow factor of starting at the front of the park is lost walking from IG to the front.
they did have bus service back after fireworks at EPCOT on 7/4, not sure if that's the case every night.
Hey people, finally heading back to CBR - and WDW - after EIGHT years since the last time (and a couple of failed attempts due to COVID). What would you say is the biggest change I could expect at CBR? I know the Centertown Market has been redone completely. Anything else you'd point out?
Bonus question: is mid-November still a good time to hit the resort pools? Will it be too cold? I'm based in Europe and I don't have a good sense of the Florida weather
Thank you for your answer, and the tip about Banana Cabana! I didn't know that place was anything to take into consideration.I'll check it out for sure!This might be stating the obvious and I genuinely don't mean it to be snarky, but the Skyliner is another thing that comes to mind, plus the knocking down of a section of CBR to build Riviera.
There's also the redo of Old Port Royale you mentioned, which includes Sebastian's restaurant and the Banana Cabana pool bar. From what I understand Banana Cabana has something of a cult following, and you can order a few of the Sebastian's dishes there if you don't want to do a full sit-down meal. Like Ohana and Tambu Lounge at the Poly.
Florida weather totally fluctuates so it's a bit hard to say about the pool in November. Floridians would probably say it's too cold, but where in Europe are you coming from? If you're used to a colder climate, you might find it perfect.
It's been a little while since we stayed but I don't recall seeing any packaged water bottles.We arrive in 13 days!!!
Does the gift shop have a multi pack of water for sale (as opposed to individual bottles)??
I know some resorts, too, just not sure about CBR.
Thanks!!!
