We SHOCK HORROR took the lift up to the Monorail platform to get to MK at the GF. We were guests at CBR though so not as nefarious as the dreaded offsiters

And if you come to visit CBR, make sure you don't step a foot on the beaches or take a dip in the village pools! I'll come and tut at you!

And what's this obsession with people using towels? o_O They're not rare diamonds, lol

We watched wishes from just in front of the castle just behind fp spots. AMAZING wouldn't sit anywhere else everybody sitting on the warm floor bliss

Sounds like a load of snobbery to me. Next thing some people will be wanting is "no rifraf" signs everywhere. As far as Disney are concerned all resorts were open for everyone who wanted to go and look around. If people have abused this trust by moving patio furniture etc; then who can blame them for making these rules. It is down to Disney not guests to who is allowed on their property.

I think the no viewing from the beach rule is because of the construction work going on. There isnt much beach left.

As to whether it will continue to be enforced post construction is a story for another day.

I was getting quite worried about this as we have booked Ohana's for 3rd July and contacted Disney to see if we would be able to access the beach, this is the reply I received

That'll be the same team that told me I was mistaken re construction work at the Poly when I enquired last Sept ahead of my stay there in October I guess and that there wouldn't be a problem with me requesting the longhouse I was hoping for ( the one they built infront of). I'm afraid they know as much as we do... Sometimes less.

Are people miffed at the thought of 'offsite guests ' with wristbands visiting the resorts or is this hostility towards other 'on site ' guests visiting and viewing the facilities ? We stay on site but visit all the other hotels and resorts usually for food and drink using the restaurant facilities. Whilst there I think we have a right to look round and take in the different atmospheres. Whilst I wouldn't use the pool facilities why shouldn't we be able to browse the savannah area at akl or the beach at the poly !? All the tips were posted on here by fellow dibbers. Now all I read is a lot of abuse and nastiness about it from fellow dibbers ...

That's great news as we have it booked for the next day too!
I think it has felt abused because there is so little beach left whilst the work is going on. In normal circumstances I am sure it is Ok but in 4th July it can be a little abused probably, but I am sure a Dibber would always be on immaculate behaviour !

We do that, I doubt any other onsite guests would have a problem. We usually stay in DVC resorts now so have restricted pool hopping privileges but even before DVC we'd visit other resorts (not the pools). We enjoy having a half hour in a CBR hammock (sorry pp ) or a walk at POR even when staying at BLT or BC as each resort is lovely and has its own unique attractions.

I do however think that whilst construction is ongoing and the beach limited, that only Poly residents and guests (i.e. those eating in the restaurants) should be able to use the beach during Wishes. Sorry if that's unpopular
