Well dang! :-(Please be aware that tool is extremely inaccurate when it comes to room type and room amenities.

I think they were just saying that Jamaica 45 is closer to the bridge over to Old Port Royale--not that Jamaica 45 is closer to the Skyliner than Barbados 32. I'm also trying to decide which building to request and didn't think about Barbados 32. Does Barbados have king rooms? I wasn't sure if they were all pirate beds, which we do NOT want.
Hello all! We were just moved from POFQ to CBR are in September. Not thrilled about the change but was hoping it would be a little more convenient with the Skyliner. When the change was made I was advised the Skyliner will not be open in September. I'm hoping that is not the case. Does anyone have any other info on this?
Also have the rooms been upgraded at all? The photos I see still show carpet and a very Polynesian looking room decor. Is this the current room?
Hi! Same situation here, POR to CBR for late August.... I've never stayed CBR. Looks nice enough but I'm a little confused because I'm seeing people get changed from PO to deluxe resorts with dates similar to ours.
My CM told me that the skyliner might be open? I'm seeing many misleading reports, so I'm unsure. As for the rooms, those are the updated rooms, yes.
I am not impressed whatsoever with the look of the room. It's terrible to me but I guess at this point I have no option. We chose Port Orleans French Quarter because it's small. This Resort is so spread out, even though we were given a preferred room for our upgrade that location seems to be far from the Skyliner if it is open.
The only thing I have seen is from Disney Food Blog. They said the Splash area at the Riviera looked to be open.I know disney said playgrounds would be closed upon reopening, does anyone know of that includes the splash pad/water playgrounds like the one at CBR?
Hi everyone! So with all the resort switch ups going on right now, I was moved from POR to CB for my August 21 trip with my boyfriend! I've been to Disney many times (but this is bfs first trip since childhood!) and I've never stepped foot on CB property so I'm really excited! We were placed in a King room last night and the GS woman who helped me told me she requested the building closest to the main building, so all in all, super excited! I'm used to Coronado Springs and POFQ, so what should I expect coming into CB? Any tips, stories, or recommendations are appreciated! Also- does anyone know if the skyliner will be running by august? This is one of the things I'm most excited for in staying here so I really hope it's open by then!
We were big fans of POR and POFQ before our first stay at CBR and now much prefer CBR. It has a more laid back, relaxed feel to it. We much prefer the pool and the food court. And the rooms are bigger, 340 sq. ft. vs 314 sq. ft. And this was before all the upgrades at CBR, so now it's even better.
Chiming in to say that when staying at CBR after the resort and room updates, we really liked the rooms and resort grounds. My only wish was for a shower door vs a shower curtain, but that's not a deal breaker. It was super clean and spacious enough for four of us. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant. We went back to POFQ once after that and ended up not liking it as much. The room felt more drab at POFQ. Each to their own, but definitely be willing to give something new a try. CBR was the last of the moderates for us to try and we ended up liking it a lot more than we had anticipated. Great CMs too!
What would you say is your favorite thing about the resort?
Or a must-do/see when I'm there?
Also, does each building have a quiet pool?

Main Feature Pool
Food Court
Sebastion's Bistro
Napping in a hammock
Watching the Epcot Fireworks from the beach or bridge
Walking around the lake as the resort "wakes up" in the mornings
Sending family back home a coconut post card
Not each building, but each Village has it's own leisure pool.
We really liked how calm it seemed despite it being full of people and being a spring break time period. The spread out nature of the resort actually helps. Sebastian's had great food and we never had a bad meal in the food court. I believe each area has a quiet pool, but we didn't use any of the pools, so I can't say for certain.
I HOPE it is running by July11(My first day at Pop Century!)!lolAlso- does anyone know if the skyliner will be running by august?
My only thought is if Skyliner isn't opening imminently,why have they been testing it?Not thrilled about the change but was hoping it would be a little more convenient with the Skyliner. When the change was made I was advised the Skyliner will not be open in September. I'm hoping that is not the case. Does anyone have any other info on this?
