The new view is much improved! I just booked some friends to stay there in July. I hope they have fun I am still not convinced I am going to overcome my dislike and stay there. Coronado will probably be the last resort marked off my list.
Great pictures of the bash party and the new room/surrounds. Your pictures are making me seriously think about doing the mad dash in October for 3 days!!
Great Block Party pics Katie! Fun to see the other float, we were right by the Toy Story one and never saw the inside of the Monsters Inc. one! It's a great parade, VERY high energy! CSR looks so beautiful!! Those fountains are gorgeous!! The updated rooms look so nice there too!!! Looking forward to more!!!!!!
That's too bad about the smudges and such in your room. You think that housekeeping would have just let themselves in, weird.
Shelby has arrived!
Ewww to the smudges that is not good! I like to have a clean room when I'm on vacation! At least you didn't let it get to you too much!!
Great pictures of the parade...looks like a lot of fun!!
YAY for the arrival of Shelby Can't wait to hear all about your dinner plans!
Katie, nice update. Sorry about the smudges...that would bother me too (I keep reading how mousekeeping is going downhill at just about every resort ). That is a MUCH better veiw; we had a view like that one of our stays in Casitas 4 -- love it.
How odd that mousekeeping didn't just let themselves in, and odder still that they never cleaned it even after it was brought to their attention
Great parade pics!
Love the pics of your room. Sorry it wasn't that clean. I have heard that many times before here on the Dis. I stayed at Pop last year and ours rooms were clean or else I would have complained. Wonder why they didn't let themselves in.
Eewww about the smudges and fingerprints all in your new room. But the view from the new room looks pretty- -I'm sure it beat your old room.
Wow - Your new room location is fabulous! It couldn't be a prettier view! Nice! I am so glad that Shelby arrived safely and you were able to catch a quick cab to your dinner location.
Why did I just know that that lady was going to spill her drinks all over. If she had just let you take one of them off her hands things would have turned out so much better!
Nice.
Such a pretty place!
I know I say this about every Disney resort. I mean it about all of them.
Beautiful pictures of CSR! I've never been attracted to that resort, because of the conventioneers, but it's growing on me.

Ewww, can't believe those smudges stayed for your entire trip! Not cool. On a positive note, your pool view is beautiful!
In general CSR looks delightful. The grounds seem beautiful, I hear great things about Pepper Market and I love the room decor. I am bummed to hear that the smudges stayed there for your whole stay despite the call to mousekeeping. Why on earth did you need to be in the room for them to resolve it?
Oh well, can't wait to hear what you did next!
great pics of your new room! Sorry about the smudges and fingerprints! The pics of the grounds are so beautiful! can't wait for the pics of dinner!!

The first time I stayed there I had a less than Disney experience. I only booked there because the conference was being held there. 3 years later the conference returned there and I tried it again. Much better experience even though I too had to change rooms, at my request. Third time over New Years and I am really looking forward to either a family trip or the next conference there. Give it another try.
I got sucked in too. You can see by my tickers below and I just booked that
July trip to see the parade and fireworks.
Ew.. about the smudges and finderprints. That would gross me out.
The view is very pretty though. CSR looks like a great place to stay. I love the bedspreads.
Aww Jill, what happened that you dislike it so much?
