BRAND NEW CORONADO SPRINGS FAQ THREAD w/ PHOTOS (PART IV)

[TheresaNY]

You are a doll to report in. PLEASE be safe in the storms. We await your return to yucky weather like the rest of us (okay...it's July and I'm wearing a sweatshirt last night in Chicago!) for a full report.

I was going to PM you, but am sure that many others would like to add to my message to you.....

I just want to thank you for always reponding to my posts. Some other threads I post and it just goes by unanswered (I am sure through no ill will). You have always reponded and I SO appreciate it ! Also, you are always so positive and I really like that about your posts ! You always take the time to acknowledge everyone and that makes this a great thread ! THANK YOU !!

Next time, it might be easier for you to just post this link: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2139258&highlight=convention+update

I understand from several people that Buzz's website has not been updated in awhile. I do note his convention list is the same as the one I have here, but other parts of his site I'm told have not been updated.

Also, to the person who asked about conventions and food. I've never been to a "convention" so not sure if they always cater or if everyone goes to Pepper Market. I know some people have indicated that Pepper Market can be really crowded right at the noon time if a convention is on lunch break so some of them obviously use the Pepper Market. We've never had an issue with crowds, but then we don't eat right at lunch time.

He popped up on another forum, so he's still around. I know the "news" section has been updated with what sections have gone down and the new Rix Lounge hours. Maybe just the convention list isn't updated?

I don't think of the Magic thread as complaints...at least that is not how it began...it began for those of us who miss the old days of WDW. My post was not a complaint - more of walk down memory lane..that's how posts were at first, but have not read the thread lately, so pehaps it's becone a complaint thread.

Aw, I'm sorry the mugs are no long CSR specific - I miss all the resort specific mugs. We would purchase just one to save as a memory of that resort and trip.

Oh, well...we'll just have to purchase one of the new ones too!

Sorry, I didn't actually read the magic thread. I just assumed it was complaints and would make me woe.

I want a mug for my car The old mugs don't really fit well, so I'd like one that does! Plus I love the design. I didn't really like the Year of a Million Dreams design though, so to be honest, last year I wouldn't have really cared. My parents have a Wilderness Lodge mug from 10+ years ago still in their cupboard!!

Theresa, thank you so much for the kind words. After the week I've had, you brought tears to my eyes with your kindess.

Yes, I know. Once I post the info here (or JamesLynn does), I noticed that Buzz then posts it on several other forums where he is a member.

Thank you for the link, KatMark.

I recently visited Buzz's site recently and noticed the same - seemed the updates here are more current.

Thanks so much KatMark and JamesLynn!!

Kathy,
Are you saying that you are now officially the new Buzz?

Keep up the great work!!! You are very knowledgeable and have a passion for CSR. I can't even try to answer a question as fast as you... you always have it covered! (I've tried in the past but my DIS time has been cut very short!)

Hopefully, some day in the near future, we will be back at CSR again!

Tim



P.S. I am very jealous of all the recent posters on this thread that are going to CSR. I want to be there too!!!!!!

No, I am DEFINITELY NOT the new Buzz. God, that will be a loaded question for some people here.

But I do enjoy helping people about the CSR if I can. Especially since I can't go this year...I want everyone to enjoy even more than normal.

We miss you around here, Tim. You've got to stop in more than once a month.

How is precious Juliana? I miss seeing pictures of "OUR CSR" princess.

By the new Buzz i meant you took over his job!!!!

Juliana is doing very well. We finally got her potty trained (thank god!!!) and she is being a normal 3yr old. (Good and Bad!LOLOL)

I posted some new pics on my PTR yesterday.... if you have time, check em out!

She also has her 3 month scans (ultrasound & xray) coming up in 2 weeks, which always makes it a little tense around here. But after this scan we should be going to every 6 months. They still might want to see her in 3 months to do her CAT scan though. We will have to see what her oncologist says.

Besides that we are driving to see our friends in Indiana on Saturday. We are planing a trip to Disney with them in March, so this will be a Disney planning trip (not really but it sounds good!)

Sounds like a plan to me.

 

[LaniesMom]

thanks for the links to the TR's....I LOVE the Renfroe's report and it has put me in a good mood again!
Now, I have to get off the computer and go take care of my little one!

 

[AlternateEgo]

I just wanted to post... cause I'm getting all excited, hehehehe.

 

[AlternateEgo]

Oh... and KatMark... what "other" sites are you talking about? I am pretty sure there is the dis, the dis, and the dis... Cant recall any others

I'll add my thanks and kudos!
CSR recently BECAME a resort of choice for me due to this thread!! Don't underestimate the magic of YOUR kindnesses in sharing your wonderful knowledge!!!

 

[jenbear123]

Hello everyone!

I honestly feel like I should get more involved on these threads. I've been a longtime lurker (although have posted before) but now I cannot contain my excitement anymore! Only 9 more days until my arrival at CSR. I have requested to be in Casistas 5. Hopefully I made the right choice? I am considering faxing in my room requests as well at 4 days prior to my arrival. Is this a good idea?

KatMark, your knowledge is incredible and ever so helpful! Let me tell you I could use a few buddies from the DIS to share my excitement! I have a boyfriend who could care less about Disney (despite my countless efforts to change his mind), my mom who is obsessed with Disney as much as I am but... she IS my mother after all, and my sister (currently working in WDW) who I rarely get to see! I miss her terribly. Actually this upcoming trip is to visit my sister for her birthday! Too bad it's only 3 nights.... sigh. UGH I can't wait to get there!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EstherS]

Have a fun trip JenBear123!

Thank you for your very kind words. I'm so glad you get to see your sister for her birthday. That is absolutely great. And you get to stay at the CSR too. I LOVE CASITAS 5--it's my favorite (along with Casitas 4). I think you've made a great choice. However, we have to work on the boyfriend!

 

[ToyStory]

ToyStory - the quiet pool and laundry were a big part of our 7B request. I'm happy to hear that the Ranchos are the least requested - maybe we will get the building we want!

Hopefully! Originally we were in the Caistas our last stay, but we had a problem with our room so they changed us to Ranchos 7B. It was a great move. Even my DH agreed.

 

[jenbear123]

EstherS--Thank you! I hope I do too!

Hopefully we'll get into Casitas 5. What makes it so amazing? I know location is pretty good. Plus I've heard on the boards here that this building offers great waterviews. Since we booked and paid for a waterview, I'm hoping it won't disappoint! I plan to provide a full report upon my return. As long as my constantly busy schedule allows

Great waterviews. And the last time we were in Casitas 5, I walked right out our door, down two steps and I was in MY hammock. Plus it is close to the quiet pool and the spa!

Same here! If it hadn't been for this thread and all of KatMark's praises about CSR, I probably would have never given CSR another chance. Now I have two reservations at CSR for this year (Sept/Oct and Dec) and can't wait. Thanks KatMark for all the time you put in on this thread. I think we all really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and advice. You're fantastic!
