On various sites I have seen CBR standard rooms listed as being anywhere from being the smallest of the mods at 300sf to the largest at 340sf! Anyone have the true answer?

Whats with the CBR room size?

It is my understanding that all of the moderate resorts have a near identical floor plans that come in at 314 square feet.
That being said, square foot calculations for the same room can vary quite a bit depending on how they are measured. A calculation done from the outside of the exterior walls will be significantly larger than one done from the inside of the walls. Floor mounted AC units can also be removed or included from the calculation.

Actually, the rooms at CBR are, in fact, slightly larger than the other Moderates (340 sq ft vs. 314 sq ft), mostly because the CBR was the first non-Deluxe resort Disney built. So just like the villas at OKW are larger than the rest of the DVC resorts, they realized after they built the first one that they could "get away" with making subsequent resort rooms smaller.
In practice, after having stayed in both a CBR room and a POR room, I'd say the excess square footage comes from the width of the room being a little wider than the other Moderates. The front-to-back depth is virtually the same among all of them.

I would give my eye teeth to have actual architectural floor plans of the resorts so I could run the numbers myself.
There has to be a contractor out there to make this a project lol

Wasn't CBR briefly described as a deluxe? I seem to remember the "moderate" label coming later.

I don't think it was "Deluxe", but "Moderate" definitely wasn't used at first.

I thought it was built as a Deluxe Resort but declassified, if you will, before it was completed?

I think it's something like that. At the time, all disney resorts were deluxe and the deluxe label didn't even exist. I just don't think CBR was originally thought of as a different class resort.

I believe CBR was a value level resort initially?

Sorry, no offense, but I put about as much faith in THAT website as I put in a wikipedia posting.
