The new BWI rooms will be very upscale and on par with Disney's great efforts on the MK resorts. I don't have info on what the new CBR rooms will look like yet, but have a minion looking into it. You may want to take the above into consideration when planning your next magical WDW vacation.

I wouldn't mind checking out the Boardwalk though (provided I hit the lottery or have a rich, long lost uncle pass away).

I've heard they haven't pulled permits to do Trinadad South yet ... which 'could' mean they're holding off those units for just such a purpose. <<Hum... a redneck... does an Oklahoman count? >> Honestly, everyone I met in Oklahoma was so nice ... and they actually seemed quite intelligent and articulate, for the most part, so I can't say I've ever met an Olkahoma redneck yet. Sorry ;-)

Nikki, apparently teaching has helped with your sense of humor! I had the worst Disney room of all-time at the CBR in 10/00 (right when the last top-to-bottom rehab began). It was what I envision a Days Inn on the seedier part of I-drive looking like. It was also the first Disney room, I ever went to the front desk and outright refused ... and successfully demanded one of the first 20 finished new rooms! I haven't been back in years. Heck, I haven't even dined or visited there in about five years. But I will go back now when the renovations are done with the new pool area too! <<I wouldn't mind checking out the Boardwalk though (provided I hit the lottery or have a rich, long lost uncle pass away).>> You never know what the future holds ... believe me. Never.

But I'd bet that at least half or even two-thirds will be done, and you should be able to snag one of those rooms.

I really like ya pal ... so I have some really mediocre pizza here that I got for dinner (it's $4.99 a pizza night in my non-economically strapped hometown) and you can have a slice and a cup of tap water.

Having read the rumor a while ago about the Pirate Suites I would hate to think (if they follow through on this) that they would all be located in Trinidad South. Personally I wouldn't mind being in that section as it is a bit more removed and quiet but I know that %50 or more of the people who visit WDW have an aversion to walking so they may get a lot of complaints.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun One of the things I love about CBR is how spread out it is. I love walking around the lake or going to fill the mugs while hubbys getting the boys ready or bed.

But he'll try and post info when he finds it out. All I can add is the new pool should be up and running this September!
