What a coincidence! I am sure they are very grateful that you listen to the podcast and gave them the heads up.Ironically, their toddler son threw up around midnight last night due to overindulging at dinner...and he needed to take a bath because he did it in bed all over himself. They had to call housekeeping for new sheets. I shudder to think how that would have gone down at CBR.
The first reservation they made at CBR was for a preferred room, and the POFQ was just a standard room so I think that contributed to the lower price of POFQ. Regardless, they actually added another night since POFQ was so much less. When she told me about CBR, she said "It just says there will be some construction noise between 9am and 5pm and the pool will be closed but that is okay because it will probably be too cold to swim." I had to tell her about the tent food court, lack of main building shops and amenities, intermittent power and water outages, etc. Thank goodness I listen to the podcast and knew about it!
Needless to say, they are VERY happy they weren't at CBR last night. And it was hot yesterday and all her kids wanted to do was go back to the hotel and swim. LOL!
Only some construction noise from 9am-5pm
We are staying there in August. I REALLY hope Disney has CBR all fixed up by then, but IF they still don't have the resort up to real Disney standards, I hope they at LEAST compensate guests with some fast passes, a free meal or something. We have some very young and old on the trip and we DID pay over $200 a night - I am getting very concerned hearing about just how bad the situation is over there. As DLgal says, the impression I got when we booked was that the construction work would be "minimal" and barely noticed, if it's still like this come August 2018, I think a free night is a bit too much to ask for, but hope Disney will offer some type of offsetting compensation (as I said fastpasses etc I think would be appropriate)...
You should do a trip report after your stay there. Regardless of the blatant indecency Disney has for guests staying at a resort under major construction, I hope you have a wonderful vacation!
