I just arrived back from WDW. I stayed at CB from 11-20-06-11-26-06.
We had a wonderful time at the World!!
As for the resort, I was disappointed. I had never stayed there. (or any oher moderate for that matter.) I have stayed at ASM, Allstar Sports, and POP, Contemporary, and Ploynesian (as a kid).
I was very excited about staying there, but let down when I arrived.
The resort is beautiful, but not set up well at all. I had read about spread out it was so I went expecting that. I had no idea how spread out! I was in Trinidad South Bldg 36. It was a major ordeal to get to Old Port Royale! That Internal Resort Shuttle (dubbed the IRS by my group on the trip) took forever and made so many stops. I wish I had not even bought the refillable mugs because we never made it over to the food court to actually refill them. The buses back from the parks were alo a nightmare. It took a long time to get back because it stops at each village on the way. We also had several occasions where we waited 30-40 minutes at a park for the bus to arrive. Other resorts would have multiple buses arrive while all the CB people kept waiting. As for the rooms, very spacious, well decorated, and love the double sinks. Now the beds...awful!!! Full size beds are too small and the things were the noisiest beds I have ever slept on. For the first 3 nights, I constantly woke myself up by simply moving. The slightest movement resulted in an obnoxiously loud creaking and squeaking sound. My brother-in-law called the beds "the boat". We had connecting rooms (which was great) and they had the same issue with their beds next door. After night 3, I either got used to it or was so exhausted that I slept through the noise.
Overall, it was a great trip. The time spent in the rooms by our group was minimal. (showers and sleeping) I would have to say that I would not stay at CB again. The bus situation and distance from the food court made it difficult to really enjoy the resort.
