I'd imagine so.

Wow. Wonder what the time table will look like for mid March. We are a group of 162 and staying in Jamaica.

Shouldn't be a problem in March 2017 - work is starting in May.

I emailed about our JUNE trip and got the cookie cutter response stating the same construction notice it shows for Trinidad on the website, it's a bit frustrating when it's obvious the person didn't bother to read the question.
I hadn't even thought about that part. Along with the nightly movies and campfires.

After Sept 11th, CBR closed for a complete remodel of Old Port Royale. The bakery was expanded, grab n go was included, along with centralized cash registers and the removal of Captains Tavern in favor for the creation of Shutters. Plus a complete refreshening.
It was said by Disney that the scope of the remodel was too large to leave the Resort open for Guests.
The current work seems even larger, in addition to Village demo. And the Resort stays open. Wow.

My clients are traveling April 24-30 and got a letter...

You said it yourself - after Sept 11th. Pulling the largest room inventory completely down when attendance was in the dumps and you're already doing a refurb sounds like good business to me. I don't think they could lose all of CBR's inventory at this point without having to turn guests away from booking at a WDW resort.

Oh I agree with you. Completely. But Disney never said it was closed for low occupancy, but rather for a food services remodel.

This kind of clinches it for us moving our December trip. I cannot think they will be done with everything by then. I wouldn't mind being there when they are working on the new buildings as long as the OPR area is done.
Always did want to try POR.

Because Disney would not say that. They had to find a way to spin it to look positive.
You mean just like not washing dirty guest towels on a daily basis is "to save water and help protect the environment" and not the company's bottom line?

And, to be clear: Will that new building for the DVC will be an independent resort and not part of CBR?

I bet there will be little to no discounts in the months to come at POR, with the possibilities of many people wanting to head to that resort.

I've always hated the hospitality industry's way of doing refurbishment/building projects while trying to keep as many nearby rooms as possible occupied by ed off guests. They should at least go the Tokyo route and give a significant discount (which was awesome!)
Names tend to indicate it will be part but I can't confirm.

Although how often do you wash towels at home? For me weekly towel washing is normal so I just see it as common sense rather than cost cutting
