I'm sure there will be plenty.

Check out this thread for dates (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1093827)

CSR is a large resort that does not share services with other resorts and offers some deluxe amenities because it is a convention resort.

CSR has a salon, spa, and a gym that other moderates do not offer.* CSR has full menu room service and offers an internal shuttle system provided by golf carts to assist in getting to and from the main building to the villages.*

It is also the only mod to offer suites.

CSR is situated around a 15 acre lake and CBR is situated around a 45 acre lake.*

CSR has terrific transportation. It does not share with any other resort (like POR / POFQ) and it only has 4 bus stops within the resort (vs 8 at CBR).* And since CSR is centrally located, you'll have a quick ride to all the parks.

And being a convention resort, the buses seem less crowded because guests are busy with their conventions.

CSR is the most central to the 3 parks you mentioned.* See the map below.

CSR has the best pool of the mods and probably the second best on WDW property.* Best mod pool (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=830638).* It offers a great slide (123 ft long), an arcade, a sand volleyball court, and a playground at the main pool area.

Review from mousesavers.com!! (http://www.mousesavers.com/wdwresortfacts.html#moderate)
*
Coronado Springs is my Best Value choice in the Moderate category. It has several advantages compared with the other Moderate resorts. It is newer, so there has been less wear-and-tear on everything. Also, Coronado Springs is a convention hotel, so it has a few extra amenities not offered at the other Moderates, including a salon, a health club and a more upscale food court.
*
The theming is radically different in the three areas of Coronado Springs. You can request a specific area when booking but there is no guarantee you'll get your request.
The Spanish-style Casitas at Coronado Springs are very peaceful, with courtyards featuring tiled fountains. Casitas Buildings 1, 3 and 2 (in that order) are the closest to the restaurants and services. Casitas Building 4 contains the salon and health club, if those are important to you. The Cabanas at Coronado Springs have a beachy Caribbean feeling. Cabanas Building 8A is very close to the feature pool, which may be a blessing (convenience) or a curse (noise, light). Cabanas Building 9B is closest to the marina and relatively convenient to the restaurants and services. The Ranchos at Coronado Springs feel quiet and secluded -- some would say isolated -- and feature desert landscaping and pueblo-style architecture. They look closest to the main pool on a map, but in actuality they are separated from the rest of the property by a swamp, so it can be a fairly long walk from these buildings to the pool, and a very long walk to the restaurants.

I am going to be there on Aug 17-27.... :cool1: :cool1:

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

We are going to be there Aug. 18 - 24 at BCR and then on to Disney Wonder, 24 - 27!:banana:

[bashful4u]

We'll be SSR Aug 22-29! :cool1: Can't wait........

[#1Disfann]

Buzz, thanks for the link! I had not seen that one.

Suzyq: It looks like we will send a few days there at the same time and I found just 3 others from Buzz's link!

Maybe we will have it (mostly) to ourselves! :rotfl2:

Counting down and can't wait! :banana: :cloud9:

[FINFAN]

We are currently booked there from the 2nd week into the third...8/11-8/21,
if we don't change our minds! Has anyone been there before? (sorry Buzz, I know you have! ;)

[Goofy_4_WDW]

We will be in WDW Aug 22-29 also, but we will be at POR
Have a magical trip! pixiedust:

[Trissy]

My DH and I are "planning" on going Aug. 19-26 but because of no AP I'm not sure. We are looking forward to being first-timers at CSR, but who knows what will happen. He swears we're going no matter what, but I will have a difficult time paying rack rates. Is that terrible to say?

[Ishy]

I may move over to Boardwalk or Beach club and go off the dining plan one less night... My goal is to try something or two new places each visit. CSR is new to me, but not beach club... but omg that pool there.....

We need a secret handshake or we need to all wear lime green crocs :)

OP: Can you edit the first post and get a list of people all in one place?
Keep it to CSR and anypart of Aug. 20-27th week? Maybe we can just put lime green ribbons on our hand bags or something :)

I just upgraded from POP to CSR 8/13-8/19...although we may add a night before the free dining nights...gotta see how it all goes. Biggest thing is, we have to pay off the ressie or we'll be postponing the trip. I am chipping away slowly, lol. Hope to see some fellow DISers there! I predict that most of us will be in Cabanas 9B since we all research here on the DISboards. :lmao:

[sherry72nova]

Myself, DH and DD will be there Aug 19-25th. First time at CSR and can't wait to get there. Maybe will see some of you there!!!!! :yay:

[keekeeb]

We're going August 5-11. We're looking soo forward to it! I don't know how many times I've been on Buzz's website and I still can't get enough of it. GREAT website. Better than Disney's! :cheer2:

[doughcwjt]

Our family will be there August 19th - August 26th! Can not wait!!! We stayed at CSR once before and really enjoyed it! See you there!

[HACAM]

Anyone going September 16-20? We will be there then, just DH and I, staying at CSR for the first time, and can hardly wait. :hourglass

Heather :woohoo:

[Trissy]

Disfann- I booked us for Aug 24-Sept 1. We were going to go earlier, but we decided to go the last week. I guess you can take me off the list or change it since we will be there Thurs of the third week. :thumbsup2

[stites1]

WE (Myself, DW and DS6) upgraded from Pop to CSR as well. We'll be there from Aug. 16-20. Can't wait!
