I don't know where to begin. I have never been to disney before and the CRS that I'm staying at loooks huge. It me,dh, and 4 yr old dd. We are doing the QSDP so we will have a resort only mug....My first question is do they have drink fountain everywhere or is it just in the main building??? And if its in the main building I would like to be near that....so where should I request a room at?? I don't really want to be RIGHT THERE at the building...but a good comfortable walking distance would be nice....So with all that in mind...WHERE IS THE BEST LOCATION??? TIA!!!!!!

Please stop licking your monitor. It's hard to clean the smudges off, and electrocution sounds painful.

Hi; welcome to the CSR family. The resort is big...but it is not as big as every one makes it out to be. You can refill your drinks at Pepper Market (they will do it for you) or Cafe Rix (you do by yourself) or Siesta's at the pool (Siesta's is only open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., however).

DH and I (both over 50) always stay in Casitas 4 or 5...it takes me every morning about six minutes to walk to the main building to get our coffee in the morning; last year we were in Casitas 3 and it was literally less than two minutes to walk to the main building. Also, one of the Cabanas is not too far a walk to the main building either.

As TooBoyz4Us mentioned, check out the CSR FAQ Thread as there is a lot of useful information there. And any other questions, feel free to ask...there is always someone who will have an answer for you.

Like Kat Mark said Casitas is a great location, not only are you fairly close the main building but also bus stop #2 which is the 1st bus stop on route to the parks meaning you won't have to stand.

Thankyou I think I'm just going to request Casitas or Cabanas...seems like either of those would work for our family.

No problem, Casitas and Cabanas are two more popular requests. I don't hear anyone requesting Ranhos but Ranchos does have it's fair share of fans who like the landscaping in that area. Whatever you end up with I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I loved our stays in the Cabanas section 9b (before it was business suites). We stayed in Casitas but didn't care for it. I would request 9a 8b. I think 9b is now suites.
