How hard is it to get a room in Aruba?
We had the same experience back in October, when resort capacity was definitely limited. In an effort to achieve social distancing and to allow room for the drink station set-up, its clear they've removed some inside tables. The majority of the seating is outside, but when we were there, it was quite hot and we frankly didn't want to eat outside. The birds are also a nuisance outside. Once you go out the doors, you also have to walk all the way back around to the main lobby doors to walk back inside the food court if you forget something which is nuts. We ate there twice out of convenience as well, but its not something I'd plan for in the current environment.
We were in Jamaica and got to the bus depot around 7:15 as well. The first bus was due to show up at 8:15 according to the board. By 7:45, there were quite a few families waiting and loitering around so we knew it would be a mad dash when the buses showed up. We wanted to avoid that, so we aborted and went back by our building and called an Uber which worked out well. On a different day, I did see empty buses pulling up to Jamaica and Aruba so I'm not sure if they do sometimes send empty buses to those buildings? But again, this was in October so its possible some buildings were more populated than others.
I was just there last week (before Easter) and the pools were crowded but I never saw them using a waitlist on the 3 afternoons we were there.How is the pool situation there? We're considering a trip in early May and wondering if they've been hitting capacity.
We found Lyft to be a tad cheaper than Uber. Looking at my ride history, all of our rides were in the standard size cars and were anywhere from about $10 to about $13 per ride. Prices will be higher at peak times if surge pricing is in effect, and if you need a larger vehicle.How much did the Uber cost you? thanks
Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Do you want to be one of the first 20 people in line? If so, no later than 9:20 and earlier is always better. If you just want to be in the park within say 20 minutes after they start letting people in, 9:45 would probably do. If neither of those matter, it really doesnt make much difference.What time should we be at the skyliner for Epcot?
I'd also add, that if it were us we'd just walk to the Rivers station. We were there a few weeks ago and got in line a little aftee 9 for 11 opening. The started loading us arounf 950 - we were 6th in line and were loaded before we ever saw anyone coming over from the cbr station, so if you're wanting to be there in one of the first dozen parties or so, it'd probably be better to go to the Riviera station.Depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

When we went a few weeks ago it closed at 10, but I think I saw somewhere where it was now 11pm???Does anyone know what time the main pool closes? We are going the end of May
I recently made the switch from Pop to CBR purely because of the skyliner transfer situation and rope dropping.Debating between CBR and Pop. I don't love Pop but it's cheap and has the skyliner. For an extra $70/night, looking at next month, is CBR worth it? Solo trip and I do love me some pool time.
