Booked CBR last night on the back of reading a lot on this thread, we are going for Christmas 2020 and then staying in a villa for a week. As we are only there a few days none of the FDP etc offers applied so I decided on a preferred room - quite excited to try a new resort

Just wanted to update and let you know that I'm coming back! After sitting in a queue last night I got my booking made at 0145 this morning - I know the availability will probably improve for other room types but I didn't want to risk missing out so played right into Disney's hands and booked a water view. There you go Disney, thanks for having me

Then of course I was too flying to sleep so I'm at work on about 1 hour sleep!
Ravenwing, good to see you back again 😊
Well done on booking for next year. I tried to join the queue a few times, but got bored of waiting for so long, so am going to wait until tomorrow, see if it's any better 😬
Happy planning 😎

That's great, so glad it helped you.
The first time we stayed at Disney in Dec 2008, we stayed at CBR and I always remember the Christmassy Caribbean tunes they played around resort, it was so lovely.

Bet you'll have a brilliant time doing CBR & a villa over Christmas 😊

We are here now and loving it so much, its just beautiful and the beaches, buildings and whole theme really make you feel you're on holiday (as well as at Disney)
We requested and have been given a perfect room in Martinique 25
Think we have definitely found our 'home' resort!

How old is your son? CBR was always my DD’s favourite resort.
She absolutely loved the main pool and joining in with the pool entertainment when she was younger 😊

I’ve been checking for CBR availability since free dining was announced & so far only Pirate rooms available for my dates.🤨

A week before free dining all of the mods had standard rooms available for my dates, now: POFQ no rooms available at all, CBR only Pirate rooms, CSR is the only one with standard rooms still showing.

At CBR a standard room was £223 a night, a Pirate room £284, so won’t be booking that 🙁

I might book CSR at £205 a night & upgrade to CBR if/when more standard rooms are released.

Hope those going 2020 have had better luck getting the room type you want.

I want to make sure I book before early May to get the extra $100 gift card 😊
