Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

[disneyjr77]

We booked a pirate water view room for next August. Is the walk to the food court (or whatever they'll have next year) or main pool really that bad?

Staying at CBR in one month with a few family members, one of whom has never been to WDW. If we are really only using the resort to grab a quick breakfast and to sleep, how much of an imposition will the construction be? Is it very disruptive? Is the appearance of the buildings and landscaping still well maintained? Also, is there any shopping at all? Thanks so much!

The construction is not much of an imposition-just an "eyesore" mainly,but between Parks construction and road construction,WDW is basically one big Construction Site these days!

The buildings and landscaping are maintained as normal.

There is no shopping to speak of-only a small "trailer" with VERY limited selections.

That's very helpful - thank you! Glad to hear the eyesore is mainly on the roads.

So I have a trip booked for Dec. Last time we went was in April just as the construction was just about to start. How is it now. Right now we are booked at All Start sport...but wondering if its worth to move up a little bit.

Hi there, CBR friends! I'm finalizing my room request info on Touring Plans for our upcoming trip. We have a standard water view room. I'm leaning towards 4251 (or one very close to it) in the hopes of getting a view of the beach. We don't mind a bit of a walk to the main pool because we like to use the quiet pools most of the time, and we won't be eating at the food tent. What are your opinions on this area?

I saw a sign advertising it in Centertown.

The sign said it is part of efforts to enhance the Guest experience during the construction period.

I've been hearing about the "hardwood" (vinyl plank) flooring in the refurbished rooms at other resorts. Do you think they'll be refurbishing the CBR rooms (again) to put down these floors? We stayed at CBR in 2014 & I love the thought of a resort with carpet in the rooms; "hardwood" just doesn't seem luxurious or appealing to me. And the thought of the echoes & loud noise it causes (from rooms above mainly) doesn't sound appealing either. JMHO

They have been on a 4-5 year schedule for room refurbs. So probably in 2-3 years.

Are Preferred rooms only in Trinidad North? Or are they also in Martinque?

The view from that room is beautiful! If I had a water view booked, I would love that area! It's not the closest to transportation but the view would be a good trade off.

This has probably been asked and discussed about a million times, but just for my own sake I want to get this right (a lot going on before my trip next month). Staying in Trinidad south. Trinidad South will be the last stop on the bus route, and Martinique is the first?
