help trying to decide

ok guys trying to decide do I want to stay at CBR (never have) or go back to WL (stayed on my honeymoon ) for october for my anniversary

I have annual passes so all I need is the room I just dont know which I should do and should I wait to see if codes come out for that time period ( I am on a tight budget but want a nice hotel room and dont want to stay at all stars for aniversary trip!!!!!)

I would also if I decide to stay at CBR which buildings are close to the busses and food courts

hopefully they should have annual passholder rates or florida residents for that time period

Wow, now that is a tough decision. I stayed at CBR in March and LOVED IT! That was our first onsite visit. If your on a tight budget then defiently CBR with codes. We stayed in Jamaiica and LOVED IT! We were across the bridge from the food court. There are bus stops at each "island" but some buildings are closer to the stops than others. It tooks us about 3 min. to get to bus stop and about 5 minutes to get to Food court. It was real quite! I would recommend either Aruba or Jamaicca. But take a look at the map and you can decided which is better for you. The closer you are to the food court the louder it will be! If you have any other questions post away or PM me.

I have always stayed at CBR and enjoyed it. I also stayed in Jamaica and thought it was perfect for location and quiet. This summer we are going to stay at WL only because of the great codes. I can't see how you could go wrong with either one.

I love trying new resorts. CBR is one of my favorite resorts. You'll love lying in the hammocks on the white sand beaches.

Just be sure that if you stay at CBR you are fairly close to the food court, etc. We were sooooo far away it really turned us off the whole place. Neither DH nor myself wants to stay there again.

I say stay at CBR. I have not stayed there myself but I think it's so much fun to stay at a different resort each time you go. That's my excuse to go back each year, I haven't stayed at all of the resorts and I need to try each of them.:laugh

Hi, Tiggerlover!! CBR is our favorite!
I have ALWAYS requested MARTINIQUE building # 25 or 26 in the past. You will be right next door to Old Port Royale, and the best part is you are also right between the Martinique pool and bus stop AND the Old Port Royale pool and bus stop, so IMHO that's THE BEST!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!:)

I've stayed at CBR and while it is a nice resort, I don't really like the "motel" feel of the moderate resorts. I prefer interior doorways and the "hotel" feeling. CBR is also more spread out than I like. With such a small difference in price, I'd go for WL. You might also consider the locations. If you plan to spend a lot of time at MK, then WL is definately the way to go. If Epcot is your thing, then CBR is a little closer. CBR does have nice beaches and the pool has fun theming!

Well, I'm going to say WL, but only because I love the resort, it's the least expensive of the deluxe resorts, & I'm hooked on deluxe resorts 'cause they're the only ones you can get queen beds at as opposed to doubles. The resort is secluded & VERY romantic. There's nothing like that boat ride back from a wonderful day at MK all snuggled up with your honey!:love: :love:
