Do the resorts regular celebrate their anniversary ?
If Oct 1st is their 30th, I wonder if anything will be going on, like an extra dance party or something.

Hi we arrived yesterday - here are a couple of photos of the Riviera resort construction and the Skyliner gondola station next to it.

PS we're in Martinique and can hear what sounds like construction vehicles moving around outside (it's 5.30am) but only as background noise, not really loud

Having front desk there instead of Custom House, will be so much easier.

I think there will definitely be some rooms that will be a lot less desirable in Jamaica and Aruba once the gondola/skyway is complete. The main station is by Jamaica 41, so I would imagine some of those outer rooms could be noisy with people traffic.

Also I'm wondering if the actual skyway will be noisy or silent as it does look like it will go over some rooms and maybe Jamaica pool.

There will still be plenty of rooms not affected by it though. 😊
It will be very interested to hear feedback when the Skyline is up and running, its so peaceful in Jamaica now it will be such a shame to spoil that.

I could be totally wrong ... but from the location of the skyline towers when I was there I think they will pass along the front of Aruba and when the get next to Caribbean Cay bridge they will go off towards buildings 44/43 then across the carpark to the skyline station.

I am thinking that Jamaica may no longer be classed as standard rooms I bet they will call them skyliner rooms and charge more lol

Could I have opinions please as I’m still stuck with what to do!
So after watching the video and talking about it again, we have decided we really want to be in Trinidad North if we still stay at CBR, because they’re preferred I’m looking at about $425 extra (and none are showing as available now either!) This making the the difference to stay at AK about £400 now but I don’t like the distance of AK to everything
I don’t know what to do!

Update: I’ve ended up changing to AKL as spoke to WDWTC and there are no preferred rooms I can have so don’t want to take the risk tbh at what it’s costing us anyway

Am I allowed to stay on the CBR thread though? 😢 😢

I really hope they paint those towers. They're such an eye sore

Animal Kingdom Lodge is amazing I'd choose it over any of the other deluxe resorts you'll have an amazing time
