Caribbean Beach Resort building works and Old Port Royal closure

This thread has been automatically created, because the original thread had over 500 posts.

The original thread was located HERE.

The first post was...

CBR - refurbishment/building work

**Plans have been submitted to demolish multiple buildings and build a multi storey building on land where Barbados and part of Martinique villages currently sit, and to work on roads and waterways **

Here's what we know about it so far:

Old port Royal to close for a total refurb from 1st May 2017.

Facilities that will be shut:

�Food court
�Shutters table service restaurant,
�Calypso trading shop
�Concierge and recreation areas of Old Port Royale
�Banana Cabana bar(situated just outside of OPR)
�Barbados and Martinique villages to be 'unavailable' from May 2017

Building work noise may be heard between either 9am until dusk(from recent e-mail) or 9am until 4pm(from original e-mail)

And while they work their 'magic' over the coming months:

�Centertown(a large marquee style tent) will serve a Caribbean\American buffet breakfast and a la carte dinner

�a selection of grab-and-go meals will be available in the island markets of Aruba, Jamaica and Martinique.

�Guests can refill their resort mugs with beverages from Coca-Cola freestyle machines which will be available throughout the resort.

Room pizza delivery will still be available

�Guests will receive $75 per room per night gift card on checking in at hotel

�At the moment guests are able to transfer to POR without charge while keeping their existing offers that they received at time of booking(dining plans, gifts cards)

No opening/closing times of food facilities or menus available, it's also not known what times drinks will be able to refilled using freestyle mugs or whether tea, coffee, tea, hot chocolate will be available and where refill locations might be.

Please feel free to carry on...

All booked for 2022 - yay!

Good luck today Hootietootie. I think that if they refuse you your $75 room credit we won't even ask for ours even with the magic incident number. So pleased that you are having a fantastic holiday so far.

New thread again? Here's me thinking "oh it'll die down soon, Disney will have some magic for people and they won't need to keep updating" ...

Anyway, good luck today guys, we're all rooting for you

Morning,

Just seen this posted on Dis-boards. The poster had previously mentioned that there were guests that had been denied GC at check-in and this post was an update:

'Just spoke to the last of the group's that I knew that got denied the $75 per night gift card because they had already got the $75 per night credit. All of them have received a refund on the credits cards used to pay for the rooms equivalent to $75 per night. All are very pleased.

I really don't think anyone is going to have any issues going forward. They've finally realized THEY screwed up.'

All booked for 2022 - yay!

Just like we all said should be room discount and gift card for those who booked prior to announcement and just gift card for those that booked after i think the dibb should defo be running disney customer services!

Right universal show us what you'v got
