I haven't heard a peep. I know we have neighors on both sides, but so far haven't heard them. Maybe they are just really quiet!

The resort is even better than I remember, we have had really good luck with busses so far which is nice. Its amazingly close to both DHS and AK.

I am sitting here at the dig site right now, freezing, its windy and that wind is cold!!! But the water is nice and warm and the hot tub is awesome.

So happy we chose CSR, we love all the mods but the big reason for this was the Pepper Market buffet (which we have yet to try) and the athletc club for ds. Which he loves having.

I forgot to add the beds are very comfortable.

Lol, I just noticed your sceeen name, we watched Mrs. Doubtfire last night, for some reason we always bring that movie to WDW!

Really have no complaints, lookig forward to a full week ahead. Just hoping it warms up.

Oh that Pop Warner info is discouraging .
We will be there the 6th through the 10th. For those of you who've dealt with them before, I have a couple questions if you don't mind: Do they all usually go home on their last day (making it a part day/travel day)? Are they early risers? I'm hoping if we're up and out early maybe we'll miss them?

we will be there 11/28-12/4 at CSR,I know a lot of people say it can get really bad but I'm not worried at all. Stayed at POR 2 yrs ago at the same time. There were a lot of ball players and Cheerleaders, never had a problem with them. They were all well behaved. I also stayed at All Star Sports last august and only noticed the pools and food court got a little crowded at times. I am so excited to be staying at CSR for the first time, I can't wait. praying for an upgrade as I only booked standard.

Thank you disneemama! I didn't want to worry - I mean who wants to worry about a visit to the happiest place on earth? That's just what I needed to calm myself down and just focus on the good parts! Good luck with your upgrade!

Good to hear, but I might take earplugs just in case

My screen name was my nickname which I could have taken offense to as I was young at the time but a few of the lads at work liked to pull my leg!!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay

As you can see I have decided to take some ear plugs (being a light sleeper) - I wonder if a top room might be quieter?

Thank you - 1 day I might find out how to quote a few posts at once

Are there any differences between the preferred Castilas rooms and the regular Castilas rooms other than location? Where they all rehabbed at the same time? I know that Castilas 1,2 and3 are the preferred rooms, but 4 and 5 sections are regular rooms and they are closer to the first bus stop(which I rather) right?

The only difference is Casitas 1, 2 and 3 are closer to the main building. All the rooms at CSR are the same, with the exception of some of the rooms in the Cabanas 9B building which is Club Level and some of the suites.

I know someone recently posted that the buses from CSR to AK and DHS were pretty quick, but how long is a typical bus ride from CSR to Epcot and MK?

Our bus ride, getting on at last stop at the CSR, to the bus stop at MK took us 10 minutes on both occasions we used the buses

Is there a map of the room numbers at CSR? I just found a map from when I stayed in 2003. I thought I had stayed in 8b, but now I look at this map and 8a is circled and our room number was 8254 I think. Just wondering where it is b/c I remember liking the location.
