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!

I did pass comment about wdwtcuk offering credit onto the wrist band but cm responded they don't do that so I shrugged it off and said I'll have to take it up with them when I get home. We'd had an eventful day with middle daughter being sick in MCO security, hubby cutting himself trying to adjust the hire car seat and my cold that my eldest insisted i took off her last week nearly rendering me voiceless. Had a walk round and ventured off to Disney springs but will have more of an idea of how things are tomorrow with a clear head (hopefully), good night all. __________________ CBR May 2017 POR & CBR Oct 2018 Seaworld & Universal April 2020 - Cancelled 2021?

Guest Guest	Easiest use of the gift card is charge stuff to your room and then use card to pay it off. You can ask for a print out of transactions from front desk at any time.

it was such a long time ago, I was a younger mouse, seems a world away, it was simpler times.

Hey still upbeat and positive as I know I'm sorted, uncertainty is gone and know how good/bad the afro-caribbeo-tentacular-dining-experience is. Will give it a bash and if it doesn't do it for us we will just eat in the parks more. Thinking about it the main time we ate in opr was off the bus at night. The bar doesn't really matter -despite all my gin talk I had 1 beer the whole of the last trip. Only negative vibe is ppl checking in now getting stiffed - but not affecting their hol and abta templates at the ready.

I'm in the "peaked too soon" lull, the sketchers were ordered on Sunday - so another milestone checked off.

apart from buying some dollars, we could head to the airport now!

hope you guys are all feeling better - waking up in Disney will help that.

I'll get all the Disney / Abta templates ready to go for your return.

In the meantime have fun.
