Leaving in an hour for the airport for our first 10 day stay at CSR.... I will be sure to take a lot of pics

Enjoy your visit. While you are being sure to take a lot of pics, make sure you post a lot of pics.

I believe they have a few items like ice cream bars and/or cookies.

Thanks!

At Siestas pool bar, if you use the DDP is desert included? I was looking at the menu on allears but it doesn't list deserts. Thanks.

What building would you recommend for a group of ten ages 3-63? We will be there in 127 days

I would request building Cabana 8A or 8B, it is very close to the pool and the bus stop. This area is about a 5 minute walk to the main building and maybe a 30 second - 1 minute walk to the main pool

York, PA. South of Harrisburg.

Hey Wynnebee, heading to York, PA in a few weeks for a visit to Gettysburgh and Philly, can you reccomend a great restaurant for 4 adults? Private message me if you can. Thanks

Thanks! I am also a little confused about Pepper Market. Is it a buffet for $16.99 or is it grab and go food court?

 

[Buddy18]

The buffet is no longer. The Pepper Market went back to a la carte.

I have 15 days more days worth of packing control than you.

Too funny! Is there a 'packers anonymous' group in your area?

Hi ,
We will be staying at CSR for 3 weeks this August and we can't wait .Over the last couple of months i have been reading on this thread,and must say the info is great and the pics are fab .

I have a few questions and will probbly have a few more over the coming weeks.

We had originally requested Cabana's 9a,but after reading some horror threads on the boards and a few posts on here about the buses being full by the time they got to bus stop 3 and 4,we have now changed to Casistas 4,top floor,lake view.
We have alot of Am-EMH scheduled and would hate to have a problem with a full bus and have to wait for another.Also our 12 year old daughter has Osgood Schlatter Disease and has been having real problems with it of late,and would prefer for her to have a seat on the bus,and if we were to not be able to get on a bus because of it being full it would mean longer for her to stand waiting for one.
But i am now thinking i have made a mistake changing our requests?.As alot of people on here have stayed at CSR i would really love your input .
We want to be close enough to El Centro as we have a few evenings where we will be taking dinner back to the room,also we will have refillable mugs,our girls would much prefer going to the Dig Site pool than a quite pool.

Also...
1/.I put our requests in last week to our Tour Operator who said they will forward this info to CSR.Question is will i have to phone CSR say a week before we fly to mention these requests again?.If yes,can someone please post it for me.

2/.Roughly how many minutes walk is Casitas 4 to the Dig Site and El Centro?.

3/.After reading what i had to say above should i have stuck with Cabana's 9a?,is this area closer to Dig Site and El Centro?.

Oh dear decisions,decisions .
Thank you in advance.much appreciated.x.

I was you a couple of days ago. I had requested Cabanas because it is close El Centro and not far to the Dig Site ( we have a 6 year old with us this time so that's important). I got myself into a tizzy after reading so many negative bus stories, and like you, I was going to call and request Casitas 4 to be closer to bus stop # 2. I believe Casitas 5 is closer to the Dig Site than Casitas 4, but further from El Centro...heaven help me!!! Anyway, I decided to end my moment of insanity, and stick with Cabanas. If the bus situation is bad, we will walk over to bus stop 2 in the morning. Personally, I think the Cabanas location is worth a possible morning walk to the bus, but that's just me.

Staying here for our first time 12/15-12/20! Paid the extra and went with club level. My first time ever staying on property was in May at PoP and I Loved it!! We are a young married couple with no kids, so I thought hubby might like this hotel a bit more. Can't wait to see stay!!
