It's a dealbreaker for us to, this last trip was so nice being able to sleep on a queen-size bed and have a good night sleep compared to the doubles that we were used to from the Pop Century resort. The Coronado was very nice and I'm looking forward to another trip there.

Let's say I get in line at cafe rix for some breakfast platters around 8 or 8:30 am in mid June. Anyone have any idea how long of a wait it would be? I am reading that it is really crowded there.

My experience has always been bad there for wait times. We just don't go there unless it's to pick up a quick bakery item, gelato, or something from the grab and go.

So, there is a separate check out for bakery items or drinks?

Okay I finally booked our long awaited vacation for Christmas! We will be staying at CSR from 12/16 through 12/22. I am so excited we were there in 2006 and stayed at All Star Sports so this is our first Moderate Resort.
I have read this entire thread and I don't think I will be making any requests.
I am just going to see what we get. It will be me, my DH, my DS and his girlfriend.

Not a separate check out area, but a separate order area. The grille is to the left as you walk through the cafe, the gelato and bakery items are to the right. The grab and go refrigerators are to the right before the grille. The refillable mug station is on the right after the grille.

Can't see if this has been asked. Does the Rix lounge show Saturday night football games? I see where they show NFL games on Sunday. I know the bar outside does, but seating is limited and there is only a few tvs. Our game comes on at 8:30 this Saturday.

Thank you!!!

After much debate w/ my family and my brother's family we have decided to stay at CSR for our Feb vacation. Now my question is when booking online it says standard view or business class. What is business class? Thanks

I don't know. Bumping this up in case someone else knows about football in Rix lounge. The only thing I see on their website about football is Sunday noon to midnight.

Hi I See you are also from Michigan! Congrats on your first trip.
Maybe we will run into each other at CSR.

Leaving snowy Denver later today and will be arriving at CSR later tonight! So exicted, I'll let everyone know how it goes, we haven't stayed there since 2006 and are just beyond ready to be there!

I'm CONSIDERING switching our (myself, wife, 12yo son, 15yo daughter) POR royal room res in January to a standard in CS to save $100 & because we've never stayed at CS & it looks beautiful (we've stayed at pofq & used facilities at por)! Convince me 1 way or the other. Start by telling me whether or not CS serves Gold Peak sweet tea then go from there. Thanks!

Have a great time and let us know how you like it. We've only stayed at a value resort so I can't wait for December to get here.
