I think they're doing it to cover themselves as there's no set end date for the skyliner and Riviera which is just across the lake. I know it mentions OPR too, but I think they're just letting this year's info run. As soon as they change it to remove that, it sort of gives an end date for OPR work. I think they just don't want to get caught out again like they did last year so are covering their backs for all eventualities. We're booking for late October and I'm not worried at all. I feel confident the OPR will be open again. Heavy construction for the Riviera and skyliner will also be done if the work they've done so far is anything to go by, and they'll be working on interiors, finishing off etc.

After all the hassle & stress our August 2017 caused resulting in us staying at AOA instead we're having a do-over & have CBR booked for next October/November. Can't wait

Also this about Aruba:


'Aruba tower construction between Jamaica and Aruba, another one going up next to the Aruba Pool that puts the beach right in the middle of construction.'

Further to this question - if they do is it offered at CBR?

As far as I know, from what I've seen on FB they do still offer it, but you may have to request it at front desk when checking in.

Well done on booking the Keys tour btw, it's one that I'd like to do one day 😊

I absolutely can't wait x

Hi! We have booked for POR, but to be honest I am feeling like we should have booked CBR. We are a party of 4 (me, dd 24, dd 19, ds 11). We really would like a room with a pull down bed, as ds is autistic and moves around a lot at night. At POR we could guarantee a room with pull down bed if we upgraded to preferred, can you tell me if there is any way to guarantee one at CBR? I have seen conflicting info online, disney moms panel say all standard (non pirate) rooms at CBR have one, but other sites say this isnt the case. Does anyone know? We dont mind upgrading to preferred or view rooms if that helps.
Thanks for any help by the way we have not stayed at either resort before, only ever done OKW and SSR. Coming all the way from Australia for this Oct 2019 trip!

So it looks like we’re going back next year after the CBR fiasco last year and not really feeling it, we’re going to give POR a try. This thread has been awesome over the last year+. I hope you all have great holidays this year

Hi, I always thought that all non pirate rooms at CBR had a pull down Murphy bed now, the rooms I've stayed in have.
