Carribbean Beach Refurb

KarenWDWCP · 07-23-2008

I was just reading the weekly Mouseplanet WDW Update and there was a mention that the guestrooms at CBR are going to be refurbished with a "Finding Nemo" theme on the bedding, etc. I am all for guest room refurbishment but Nemo at CBR seems a bit silly. Anyone else think this is weird?

I think it kind of works.
Nemo and tropical go together.........I think............

CarolinaTilt · 07-23-2008

Nemo isn't to much of a stretch, but a Pirate theme would be perfect. Not necessarily an overly eloborate theme, but tasteful, casual and full of whimsy.

Interesting. I wonder if this will start a trend with other resorts.

Um - let's see - Caribbean Islands + Great Barrier Reef of Australia....I think that's a bit of a stretch. The Pirates theme would be much more authentic - maybe not the Black Pearl - but Elizabeth's bedroom looked pretty nice...

I would be willing to give up a stay at a DVC for a Pirate theme room. That would be cool.

A Finding Nemo theme at CBR seems like a bit of a stretch. Seems like they could have themed it after other things besides Nemo.

Nemo - NO!

Pirates - YES!

Exactly! Nemo, while adorable, doesn't work.

I'm with y'all PIRATES would ROCK!! This is our favorite resort (so far) and that would just make it that much better!

jimbo · 07-25-2008

love the idea of pirates- but not the thought of sleeping with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom all over the sheets

quakercub · 07-29-2008

I can't say I find either of them working. I don't think the pirates themeing at Old Port Royal works that well and Nemo is just too cute for CBR. Now a refurbishing of one of the value resorts to a Nemo theme would be really cool!!

Based on the pictures that I saw, looks like we may not be staying at the CBR in the future. We do not have kids and this looks a little too "kiddified"
