Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

[dansdad]

My apologies I know this has been discussed before, but it seems like things have changed so I will ask the question anyway. Which one is the first stop for busses pick ups? Some say Martinique others Jamaica....

In the mornings they send 2 buses to each park. So for one bus the first stop is Martinique and the other is Jamaica.

Also what do you think of Barbados for a room request?

As long as you don' have a Standard View room booked, then Barbados is a good request.

Ahah actually I do have a 5 sleeper standard view. Shall I stick to Jamaica? We will use the pool every day. Planning to go to HS maybe 3 times on 14 days and 2 days at Epcot.

I'm totally fine with the skyliner, we are a family of skiers, so I understand that there won't be many busses that will go to HS and Epcot but what about other locations? Are you saying that they only send 1 bus to Jamaica and 1 to Martinique only? Or 1 bus does only two stops. Sorry so confusing!

We really like Jamaica with Jamaica 45 being our favorite.

While the Skyliner is running, buses to Epcot and DHS run once an hour. When it's not running they come every 5-20 minutes. All other locations they come every 5-20 minutes.

For example, they will send 2 buses to CBR that are going to MK. One bus will stop at Martinique, then Barbados, then Trinidad then off to MK. The other bus will stop at Jamaica, then Aruba, then off to MK.

Here is map. It is right next to Jamaica.

That map is from my site--I added the stations in powerpoint, which is why the colors/font are off a bit. I'm sure there's an official map out there somewhere

The only one I've seen is on the MDE app.

No. It goes to the CBR Station where you have to exit your Gondola and then board one on the DHS line.

Thanks that’s good to know.

Another question, can CBR guests use the Riviera pool?

No.

What? No. Of course not.

 

[Dreams&wishes]

What? No. Of course not.

Well I didn't know POR and FQ can share pools

 

[DavidHobart]

What? No. Of course not.

I don't think OP, who has been on the site a couple of months, deserved that tone. We all started not knowing anything.

And you had the right to ask. Pool hopping at "sister" resorts is usually allowed. With the Riviera being a new resort, it was a legitimate question that hadn't been addressed here before. Questions are always welcome!

 

[DisSurfer878]

Except for on the first page of this board there's a FAQ about pool hopping and it says to read that first before asking.

Was wondering something about the Skyliner. Are people finding it worth it to utilize both the Caribbean Beach station and the Riveria station depending on where their room is and what park they are going to? Like is it sometimes worth it to walk to the Riviera station when going to Epcot or making sure to use the Caribbean Beach station when going to Hollywood Studios?

Yes. We were there last week and used both stations. We were in Jamaica 46. If going to HS we always used the CBR station. For EPCOT it depended whether we were leaving right from our room or not. From Old Port Royale I found the Riviera station easiest. It really depends, but it is nice to have the flexibility.

"In case anyone thought about using the e-mail for their room request, I just wanted to verify that I e-mailed them just over 30 days prior to our arrival and I received a very pleasant callback a few days later to confirm they had received my room request and would do their best, but no guarantee. Seeing the 407 area code on my phone was exciting if nothing else. "

I searched the forum and couldn't find the email address to send my room request, can someone post it for me? Thank you

Ok, that makes sense then.

Just an FYI. I spoke by phone with the General Manager at All Star Movies yesterday. They are doing away with emails for all general managers resort wise and are now asking that guests contact them via the QR codes left in the rooms. Some of the general managers are still checking their emails but they are phasing them out. Just wanted you guys to know.

Looks like I'm officially staying at Caribbean Beach for our trip this December. We weren't able to get a DVC rental for the Polynesian but the more I research CBR the more I'm excited for a stay there. Really looking forward to the Skyliner access to Hollywood Studios and Epcot.
