Has anyone seen the news about CBR? The food court, merchandise store, concierge, pool bar, and some walkways are shutting down on 01 May for some months while the new DVC resorts are added. Pop-up food trucks will be added, and new temporary walkways put in, but most people from the UK who are scheduled to stay there this year are currently frantically spending 2-3 hours on the phone to Disney Holidays UK, in order to either get moved to Port Orleans or get a room credit if they decide to stay with CBR.
We have discussed it extensively at home, and have decided to go with the move, and I'm currently on hold to Disney (1 hour and 8 mins in!) to see what can be done. We have never stayed at CBR before, and were looking forward to seeing it, but then we won't be seeing it at its best if parts are being demolished and rebuilt (it is a 2 year project, apparently), so as we've not stayed at POR before either, I think we'll go for that, if there is availability in October.
Disney have not handled this particularly well, surprisingly, as they wouldn't confirm details to start with and have only sent us an email telling us the work will be done and they hope it doesn't have too much impact on our vacation! It's not until a lot of us started to complain that they came up with the move or compensation offer, which as the Disney Holidays company is UK registered, they had to offer us by law. But now they seem to have stepped up to the mark and folk are saying they are being offered a move or a reduced cost upgrade to another resort, or the discount to stay put.
I'm now at 1 hr 14 mins .......
