Help me....questions regarding cbr, pop, About This Page:

[hoosiermomma2]

Ok, so we are going to wdw the week of March 26th-April first. We were originally planning to stay at pop and realized with 3 of 4 family members bring pooh sized, it was going to be uncomfortable. So we started looking at csr...were talking to a ta. Now that I have made the down-payment, there are no csr rooms available. So she found a cbr pirate room, Trinidad south, that we accepted. Only today while reading passporters, it says the rooms at cbr have double beds. Some of the posts I have seen here have talked about Murphy beds at cbr. We've been told a cot can be rented at pop for 15 a night. I am trying to choose cost effective and comfortable. If cbr is doubles and pop is doubles...a cot in either is a little more room in a bed......would rather have 2 queen beds...but otherwise help me figure out the differences. Thanks

Your problem with the CBR room is that it is a pirate room. As of spring 2015, I believe all other CBR rooms that used to have full beds have been upgraded to queen. At least, that is what has been publicized. So, it's too bad it is a pirate room.

Although CBR rooms are a bit larger, and a rollaway bed might fit more easily, your most cost-effective rollaway would be at a value resort, so in your case, Pop Century. I can tell you, having stayed at Pop Century three times, it is a nice place. i really enjoy it. The grounds have grown into their own, and they are quite lush.

Now, I have not stayed at CBR, so I can't advise you there, except to say that if cost is your major priority, CBR with a rollaway bed will cost you several dollars more than Pop.

Good luck with your decision.

I have stayed at CBR and liked it much more than I expected. I like a tropical feel when I am in Florida so thew ground appealed to me. I was there maybe 5 years ago and expected it to be a little on the worn side. It was not. I was also with just my college aged DD so 2 in a room and plenty of space.

Pooh sized or not, I could never do more than two adults to a room. When we traveled as a family of 5, we got two rooms. I'd rather take a shorter trip than be crammed in a room but that's just me.

I'd have the TA keep looking for a moderate resort room with queen beds. Something will likely come available.

The thing about the Pirate rooms, is that they do still have Doubles and they also have a footboard at the bottom of the bed that limits foot space for tall people.

Have you considered pricing the cost of two rooms at a value resort? I've been comparing the cost of two rooms at All Star Music to one room at CBR. We love CBR but are thinking it would be nice for our kids to have their own bed and two bathrooms would also be a plus. For us it won't be much more for two value standard rooms than one at a moderate.

As mentioned, only the pirate rooms still have double beds. All moderates have queen beds except those.
I don't think you can rent a cot at Pop? I don't know where you'd fit it! The rooms are very small.
I'd ask if any moderates are available. It is last minute for WDW bookings, and you're going at a peak time, spring break so you may have a problem with availability.

Keep checking, some people do cancel at 45 days out.

Are you using a Disney specialized TA? They know all the ins and outs of booking Disney. I'm thinking you aren't if your TA thought pirate rooms were queen beds and you can rent a cot at Pop.
