Stayed at CBR in Dec 2005 with the four of us. Planning on going in Dec 2008 and are including two more this time, which makes six. We are considering staying at either the Boardwalk or the Beach Resort but don't know if the rooms are set-up to handle six people. Anyone have any ideas?

The Villas at the Boardwalk and Beach Club Villas are options, not the regular rooms though.

I'd recommend getting two rooms at any resort. The extra bathroom is worth the cost and having real beds for everyone is a big plus.

You could try a cabin at Fort Wilderness or a family suite at the AS Music.

We are a family of 6 and this August chose CBR, because we were told it is the ONLY WDW resort to garantee ajoining rooms. At any other resort you have to hope that they have adjoining.

We did join DVC because so this will no longer be an issue with the 2 bedroom villas.

Good Luck

We are a family of 6 and we always get two rooms at a value. Make sure you ask for connecting rooms. Adjoining rooms have outside doors right next to each other but no inside connecting doors. Because we live so close, we go ALL the time and have never had a problem getting the connecting rooms. Most everyone (including some CMs) will tell you that a guaranteed connection is not possible but we've never encountered that. At the All Stars there are two sets of connecting rooms on each side of each arm, of each floor, of each building. :mickey:

I stand corrected. We had "connected" rooms and CBR guarantees these at their hotel.

As noted by a previous poster, even though the terminology "guarantee" can be a bit sticky with Disney management, in most cases, they are able to fulfill this request without any problems.

Good luck with that. I was told my connecting rooms were guaranteed by CRO, but the management at CBR put me in NON-connecting rooms and said they were NEVER guaranteed. I had to waste about an hour of my time pressing the issue before we were moved to connecting rooms (even though they told me none were available). It was a horrible way to start a vacation.

We did two connecting rooms at Pop in September and it was great. Two bathrooms is much better than the single bathroom you get in a suite.

Who told you that CBR guarantees adjoining rooms? Because that is not true, no matter what is noted on your reservation. All Disney resorts do their best to give you your requests, but none of them are guaranteed, even adjoing rooms.

Unfortunately, they are not always the most knowledgeable. I'm sure many of us have been told something by a CM, only to find out it wasn't correct. That's why places like INTERCOT are so popular :thumbsup:. We are fortunate to have experienced Magical Journey TA's who offer answers as well as some great members who can help planners.
