Caribbean Beach Resort building works and Old Port Royal closure

Papamouse rightly says that every contract is different; they can offer what they want and it is up to individuals to fight, with ABTA or the Crown Court. That's really not what we want, though. However nice it would be to get a rebate when we return, we would prefer to be able to spread a little more pixie dust on our grandchildren while we are there than we could budget for, to compensate for the inferior facilities that those at CBR at the moment are experiencing. Disney UK are being spiteful to our fellow Dibbers and, although they are basically telling us where to go, I wonder if they would be quite SO aggressive in public. So do you think a resurrected Twitter campaign might jolt them into doing what they promised to everyone?

We're in the £50 + generic email club, by the way, with a telephone conversation in which we formally confirmed our acceptance of the $75 offer. Have received no further communication.

I formally accepted my $75 in writing with no response but this made no difference - just in case you were counting on them accepting that. They told me you need something from them addressed to offering you both in the same email / phonecall - doesn't matter if you accept it.

Good luck though xx

Mine updated a few hours later

Albeit with 7 Cabins instead of 4 but we're all at FWC with all traces of CBR gone

It is a beautiful resort, lobby is stunning, cast members are great, nice pool too. I've been to the Mara the quick serve restaurant.. it serves flatbread pizza, burgers, a delicious African stew, ribs etc. Booked into Boma on Thursday and again next week plus Sanaa over at Kidani village next week too. Only complaint so far is the bus service. Waited 45 minutes for a bus from Epcot back to resort. Had a bit of a moan about that and ended up with a free fastpass.

I have had some progress in that i sent a rather long email to all the big wigs and got a call from Anya who i assume is Bob and George's secetary. Unfortunatly at the time i was just on my way out to my night shift so couldnt take the call but she has left me a number to call her back on. She said she was off mon and tues so it will have to wait till wed but really impressed with the responce time if nothing else! Now just keeping my fingers crossed she can help us.

It was really easy. Your guide is very easy to follow, thanks for posting. Got everything I wanted despite MDE crashing a couple of times whilst doing them. My plan for Epcot and HS is that my first FP not booked til at least 10am, so be there for rope drop and use standby for the tier 1 we haven't got.

We are doing the same as you Solliss. The only upside is we have 2 nights at AKL in a savannah view after CBR, so at least we have that to look forward to.

Hi Folks,
I keep reading people saying they have emails (generic or personal) stating their offers- $75 etc. The ones saying Dear Guest... So I was wondering if those of you who got these are those who booked directly with Disney? As I've said before, my TA has been less than helpful and we certainly didn't get any official/unofficial emails stating our offer. We've not had a peep from Disney.
Can I also ask how people have got extra FPs? We've not been offered anything extra and Disney UK refused to speak to me because I've booked with a TA.
Thanks again...
