Are the in room coffee makers K-Cups or those disc shaped pods?
Thanks!
They are not Keurigs.

asked before about the refillable mugs, but forgot to ask, is coffee, hot chocolate, and hot water chipped? I am a former Disney AP person and they didn't chip theirs, so I didn't buy a new cup every trip since that is all I drink.
If I book a standard room, what views would I likely have? How many floors up do standard rooms go?
If it's just a Standard, it will be a parking lot view. You can be higher than a level one since I've seen videos where a guest showed the view and obviously was not on the first floor.
Other than that I cannot answer your other questions as I'm not an expert. I'm going to be figuring things out this weekend when I go. I got a Poolside Standard so I guess it'll be interesting to see how that works, especially since I didn't make any room requests since I'm not with my family. Usually they're more specific, but I'm more laid back.
As for room requests @hsmamato2 traditionally what I do at any hotel (other than making the right selection of tier level room, making my selections online of the requests they give me, or calling ahead of time if there is something more specific) I arrive early (really early), let them know, or remind them of the room requests, and let them know I'm willing to be patient and wait for the kind of room I'm requesting.
They always say they "cannot guaranteed it" no matter how many times you request it. However, if you show up early enough and willing to wait for what you want it will highly increase your chances of getting what you want.
I am interested to hear about your trip when you return! It is my first time. I hope you have a great time!
good report..... so would you say the buses are better run than disney onsite? (heresy I know, but there have been times when their buses fall short,and times when they're fine) so you can walk over a bridge to grab the SF boat too? this sounds idealWe stayed for the first time a couple of weeks ago, Columbus Day weekend for HHN. Stayed in an exterior entry family suite in the Starlight Building. Had a first floor room which was great as we parked the car right in front of our room. Got lost a couple times walking around but that's on us for not paying attention.. The suite was great, 3 of us so there was plenty of room. Had friends come over, let the kids bowl and hit the arcade while us adults walked to the Bar 17 on top the Adventura Hotel for dinner one night. Which is a really great place, drinks are strong, foods good and that view....Wow!
anyway, back to our stay... it was great, everything we wanted out of this resort. Did not really hit the pools, but did eat at Atomic Tonic one afternoon with mixed reviews. Overall staff was very friendly, eager to help if needed. Really impressed with the Busses, always seemed to be a bus waiting either to leave CB or at Citywalk. One morning we wanted to arrive at the opening for Hagrid's, and CB had the double Volcano Bay busses lined ready up to take everyone. One time we took the over pass and walked to Shapphire Fall for the boat, easy peasy. We'll be back to stay here again, it's really a fun resort.
When we stayed at CBBR in late September, we relied exclusively on the buses the whole week we were there and never had to wait on a bus even once, including after park close. Fantastic bus service at Universal!good report..... so would you say the buses are better run than disney onsite?

Not heresy around here! I am not a fan of Disney transportation and usually drive to the parks. I always take the CB buses to the Uni parks, I often opt to walk back to CB, or sometimes take the boat to SF and brave crossing at the light (no crosswalk so need to be alert).good report..... so would you say the buses are better run than disney onsite?

As promised a trip report.
Thank you so much for the report! What type room did you have and where did you end up? I will be there in a week and am looking forward to a relaxing trip!
Just booked CBBR for the Orlando Informer event in February. We normally just go to Disney, so we're excited to try CBBR out this time around.
