It looks like we're all in count down mode. It's getting hard to focus on finishing the semester at school, not to mention work. This time next week I think my wife and I will be bouncing off the walls!

We are planning our first trip to Disney for the last week in August (have to get that free dining!). Our travel agent has a hold on two rooms for our family, but the only rooms left are waterview. I'm not sure how much extra that's adding to the standard room cost...is there a place to check?

Thanks for any help! I've become addicted to this website!

I put in dates of August 22-28 on the Disney site, room only. It indicated it was $1006 for the time frame for a standard view or $1114 for a water view room, or $108 more for the six nights. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick response....I am just really happy we found any rooms at CSR. I've been lurking on these boards for the past week trying to decide which resort would be best for us.

When I started planning, I was thinking 4 nights would be plenty. I'm now up to 6 nights because of this website! DH is gonna love me.

No problem. We will be at the CSR the first nine days of September (my DH offered us the Polynesian this year for our 25th anniversary...but I chose the CSR...first, two kids in college makes it silly to spend the money at Poly, and I just love the CSR and am very comfortable there).

Have a great magical first trip to Disney.

We are looking forward to our first stay at Coronado Springs this fall.

We have always stayed at the values before and are looking forward to it.

Any advise for a first timer at CSR?

Is there anywhere else to refill the mugs except the Pepper Market? Maybe around the Dig site area? Thanks.

 

[alindsaym]

As far as I know you can fill up at the pool bar area, Siesta's at the Dig Site area and Cafe Rix also, besides the Pepper Market.

We just got back Saturday and had a great time.

If you are wondering whether a water view is worth it, I would say yes. I wish we would have upgraded.

Big ups to anyone ever staying in 8210. It did feel like a home away from home!

Have fun to anyone going now or soon!

We leave for CSR on Friday and I have a quick question about the in-room coffeemakers: Does Mousekeeping provide daily refills of coffee/filter packs? If so, is the coffee any good? I'm trying to decide whether to pack coffee and filters (along with the cocoa mix that I MUST have in my coffee every morning!)

Thanks!!

In a word: YUK!
Disney coffee is notorious for being awful--especially in the rooms. We have stayed at the CSR six (soon to be seven) times and we never use the coffee in the room. I walk to the Pepper Market every morning to get my DH a cup of coffee from there as well as a cappucino for me (I'm a Starbucks daily customer and have to have AT LEAST one cappucino a day.

I DW always brings flavored cream so it helps. But to answer your question, they do refill everyday and you can ask for extra.

Yes, you can refill at the main pool snack bar and bar as well as Cafe Rix or any of the lounges.

Does anyone know what time the busses start running in the morning at CSR?

Thanks

 

[adaygaby]

I believe the buses start one hour before the parks open. That's what I remember from our trip in October.

I had been MIA, but Buzz let me tell you...

AWESOME JOB

You have done a great job with this thread. I also got excited when I saw that you used my pic for the room decoration section lol

You have always been great in helping everyone make a great choice in staying at CSR. It definitely helped us a lot when we went.

 

[charlottebetty]

Can you tell me what you can get in a refillable mug?

 

[adaygaby]

When I went in October we were able to get Tea, hot cocoa, coffee and soda.

Can you tell me what you can get in a refillable mug?
