Why are the walls so sparse? I was there in May for the first time; thought the grounds were lovely but the rooms were BORING! No artwork, nothing. What's up with that; seemed very unDisney.

Matter of opinion I guess. I find the rooms much nicer than the other Mod resorts at WDW.

FWIW, we've spent 50+ nights at CSR and there is only 3 buildings I would rather not be in.

Ranchos 6A, 6B, and 7A.

Are favorite locations are Cabanas 9B and Casitas 4. However, anywhere in Casitas or Cabanas is fine and we also had a nice stay in Ranchos 7B by the quiet pool as well.

Enjoy!!
 
Are there disposable coffee cups (with lids) in the room so you can take your coffee with you, or should I bring my own? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, is that just because of the location? Or some other aspect of those buildings?
 


We are thinking of staying here next summer for our trip. Do the refrigerators have the small freezer portion in them? I love to take a frozen water bottle in with me and sip on it as it melts. Then I refill it and it has a large ice cube in the center for awhile. If there is no freezer I will need to buy a nice insulated cup, I guess. Any suggestions? Thanks!

No freezer and even on 6, the highest it goes stuff wasn't super cold.
No way you are going to get water to ice up IMO

It's the location that appeals to me the least. Furthest from the food court. We love CSR and it wouldn't stop me from staying there, but given the choice I'd rather not be in those 3 buildings. All the other locations have different things that appeal to me.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to buy something that keeps drinks cold for awhile. Thanks for the info!

Kleen Kanteen (I think that's how they spell it) or HydroFlask are both well regarded here for keeping beverages cold all day. I'll test my HydroFlask in about 70 days and let you know if you want

Thank you for that, my fiancée is in love with the look of the place in photos so I would hate to be in "of all the places we could have been at and we end up in this place" but in the case of Disney I doubt anyplace is "bad" so long as your point of view is not skewed. I did check the box for the online check in for "close to transportation" because I have a 7 year old and he will be tired after going to the parks...and so will I lol

I bought my gf one of these and she loves it. They advertise it as keeping water cold for around 20 hours, and I believe it.
 
Just 5 more days and I'll be at CSR! I requested cabanas 9A waterview but I would be happy with anything in cabanas. I know if I get ranchos I'm asking for a change but I'm not sure what to do if they offer me casitas? I guess I could just say I would prefer cabanas and see if they have anything. We're checking in around 1 PM so I hope that gives me more options.
 
We've stayed at CSR 6 times with our 7th visit coming up in just 24 days. CSR is by far our favorite of all the WDW resorts. We love Casitas and Ranchos 6B. Even 6A is ok. The only building we don't like because of distance is 7A. Also Casitas 5 is way too far because you have to walk ALL the way around the lake. on distance alone, I'd pick Ranchos 6B over Casitas 5.... you cut through behind the Dig Site pool and to the walkway. As for Cabanas.... the proximity to El Centro and Dining is great... but we don't care for the theming there... would rather do Ranchos.
ADisneyQueen..... if they tell you Ranchos or Casitas ask which building AND what part of the building (where exactly the room is located) .... that can really make a huge difference IMHO. We would take one side of Casitas 5, but not the back side. Same with Ranchos 7B as portions of 7B are just as far as 7A.

Thank you but we've been there twice and I just hate the look of ranchos to the point that I will cry at the desk if they want me to stay there. We were there one night and I asked to be moved the next day. For me I want something that appeals to me even if I have to walk a little further. I'm glad some of you like ranchos so you will take the rooms. It's just a personal preference.
