Hello,

I thought this may be of interest to anyone going to CBR over the next couple of years.

https://DIBB.in/12292669

from WDWmagic site:
Permits have been filed for a large expansion project at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.

'The addition of 7 new buildings will include one large multi-level building, which appears to be home to a large number of guest rooms.

Plans show that the new large building will occupy land that is part of the existing Barbados village of the resort, which will presumably be demolished for the expansion.

Along with new construction, there are also changes planed for the roadways and retention ponds.

Work is planned to begin in 2017, with completion in 2019. It isn't clear yet whether Disney Vacation Club villas will be part of the development, and Disney has not yet made any official announcement of the project.
Please feel free to carry on...
Please feel free to carry on...

The food court and arcade will be closed from 1st May. One of the smaller pools and the main pool bar is also closed. The resort will be under construction taking about 2 years to complete. Not sure how much of these facilities will be available to you by October...

Morning Jokeybhoy, yes they have. The choice is move to another moderate or £50 per night per room off of your invoice.

Yes most people are now getting: a free move to POR or FQ, £50 per night off final invoice, or using the £50 per night toward an upgrade to a deluxe resort.
If when you ring you don't get offered a free upgrade ask to be put through to guest services. ☺️

Still debating what to go for myself. I'm going to dial at 08.59 and press option 2 at 9am and hopefully minimal queue or at least not the 2+ hours I had yesterday. 😳

So last night after 3hrs and 30 mins waiting to get through I managed to get an offer of the room swap at no additional charge or £50 per night. We took the swap to POFQ and confirmed and then the line cut off. This morning I've woken up to a new confirmation email for POFQ but it is asking us to pay the £476 balance! We had already paid our balance off and were assured the move would be free. Back on the phone again at 9am... sigh.

Oh no, hope you get it sorted out - I'll be with you in the queue 😳
