A coworker saw the picture of CSR on my pc desktop and said is that at Disney? I said yes, it's Coronado Springs. We are staying there in December. He said he stayed there a few years ago. I asked how it was and he said it was the best hotel he has ever stayed in. Period. I know things can change over time, but I thought that was a pretty good endorsement.

The PM buffet prices include a drink, right? Trying to decide on DDP or not and cant decide if we would buy the refillable mugs OOP anyway.

Have a great trip! I did take a picture of the inside of the coffee maker, but I don't think I took one of the outside when we were there a couple weeks ago.

We are now booked for our first stay at CSR! We arrive the day after Thanksgiving for 8 nights. I put on my reservation a request for cabanas, hoping we get that area The kids are looking forward to the pool the most, and that slide!

We are currently at CSR now. We have always stayed at POR and this is our first stay here. I have to admit that we love it already. We are staying in 7B in the Ranchos and are near the quiet pool and bus stop, both are nice and convenient. Looking forward to the rest of our stay here.

We're booked to stay at CSR for the first time in Setember. (I've stayed at Pop, All Stars Movies and Sports, CBR, and AKL before). I have been lurking here for ages, but finally wanted to say hello and ask a few questions.

1. How long does it take to walk from Ranchos to the main building/PM? Everyone's idea of a "long" walk is different, so was just wondering the time? (We'll be walking with 15 and 13 year old boys). We haven't put in a request and might just see what happens.

2. Are the coffee pods the Kuerig/k-cup types? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Thanks for all the information and photos posted - it reallly helped convince my DH to try this resort. It's always "called my name" and I'm really looking forward to our stay.

The pool is one of the best features -- it's awesome.

We've never stayed in the Ranchos (it's the only section we've not stayed in during our nine stays), but I have walked it a number of times. My estimate (and I'm 54 years old) is that it is about a 12 minute walk at a leisurely pace.

I hope you love it half as much as we do.

Cabana 8A is our favorite spot! Enjoy!

Welcome to the CSR thread! I'd estimate 10-15 minutes depending on your walking speed and which ranchos building you are coming from.

The coffee makers are Cuisinarts. I think someone posted that they are not the same as k cups. I think they are soft pods. I don't drink coffee, so I know I am not much help.

I hope you love it half as much as we do.

So happy to see you posting on this thread again lately! Feel free to take over any time!

In our room at CSR. We were put in Cabanas building 8A--we are close to everything. I love this room, resort, everything.

It's been raining most of the day. I'm watching the rain hit in the water.

Oh, yeah. it looks as if we were upgraded to waterview.

what room do you get if you want to be near the parking lot or food court ?

The food court is closest to casita 1 (preferred) and cabana 9B (not preferred). Preferred rooms are casitas 1, 2 and 3 and will keep you close to the food court.

The parking lot extends around the perimeter of the resort, so all rooms are reasonably close to parking.
