I've stayed twice. Once in Jamaica, once in Aruba. Since then I've done Pop, Contemporary and POFQ. CBR gets a bum rap in my opinion. It is still my favorite (on average) resort.
POFQ gets a lot of high marks, but with respect to bus service, it was the worst in all my recent trips. POP was the best, but that had to do with the fact you can snag and AOA bus as well.
CBR bus service isn't nearly as bad as rumored.

We requested to stay in Jamaica near the bridge. I was really wondering how long you would have to wait for a bus to show up in the morning for the parks? It seems most of the actual bus rides to the parks are a good 15 minutes or so, would u say that's accurate?

From Jamaica, yes. A lot of the "bus criticism" I've read has been from people who stayed in the eastern side of the property. For the majority of the parks, Jamaica is one of the first to drop off and one of the last to pick up, so your actual ride "feels" like it's less time, as you spend less time on the bus touring the property than say, if you stayed in Trinidad (the far south eastern part of the property...worst positioning).
We never waited more than 10 or 15 minutes, as I recall, though we did have some frustrations (repeat MK busses, etc.)...
But, this really is the same at every Disney resort unless you go monorail line.

From the pictures on google maps it looks like the Jamaica bus stop is closer to the buildings near the bridge than Aruba bus stop is...thanks for the info!

Depends. The order the busses generally (not always) take is clockwise around the property, so that means Aruba and Barbados are the last stops on the way to the parks, and due to the Victory Way entrance, Jamaica tends to be among the first stops (not always).
The Aruba stop is way out there, but that doesn't mean you can't use the Jamaica stop. I stayed in Aruba Garden bldg 53 and Jamaica 42. I preferred Aruba 53. Aruba 51 or Jamaica 45 would be ideal (regardless of preferred room or not).

We stayed in Trinidad North this past December & never waited longer than 5-10 minutes. One morning we had an early ADR & we probably waited 15-20 minutes but, that was the longest wait of the week!
