Okay, I realize now my post was all negative. lol And, our trip staying at CSR was NOT a negative experience...so I guess I should share what I did like about CSR:
-Soothing theme at the end of a park day. It was really nice to be submurged in Disney all day, but then be able to unwind at CSR without a noisy theme in your face. CSR gives you a very relaxed feel. The biggest theme of CSR is the natural beauty (the lagoon, trees, fountains, etc). The buildings are not heavily themed other than reminding me of Arizona or somewhere.
-Size of the resort. This is a positive and negative. With it being a huge resort, guests are scattered throughout and you don't see a ton of people at any given time (other than in the main building with the restaurants). If you like to walk around your resort, CSR is a great place to do that. We took a few walks and really enjoyed it.
-Convention resort. Again, another positive and negative. We went during a convention which meant less kids which was nice for us. If seeing men/women in suits or business casual attire bothers you and might take away from your Disney experience, it may not be the resort for you. But, during a convention they are cooped up inside all day and other than during meal times, it will seem like hardly anyone is staying at the resort. Buses are less crowded also.
-Busses. We loved the CSR buses...they were constantly coming/going, and it didn't take long to get to any of the parks in my opinion. It's closest to AK which was one of our favorite parks (for the beauty of it), but honestly all of the parks seemed quick to get to. There are I think 4 bus stops at CSR so no one has to walk too far to get to one, but if you are at the last stop for pickup, you may occasionally have to stand.
-Toiletries. This wasn't a big deal to us since we don't really use hotel toiletries, but CSR has upgraded toiletries and has soap, individual shampoo & conditioner (not combined), and also shower gel.
