They moved some of the CSR threads into one thread.

Maybe that's why I can't find them thanks!

Does anyone know where the link is to Buzz's unofficial CSR webpage? I thought it used to be in his signature or on the first page. I don't see it though!?!?!

We have booked the 4/3 pkg for 8/7-14 and just received the confirmation letter. The info includes our dates, the deposit confirmation and the payment info the balance. I requested Cabana 8A at the time I booked and this is listed on the letter as well.

Should I still fax a request a few days before we leave?

Thanks for all the great info!

Hey everybody,
Just a quick update. I've been having problems with the DIS website lately. Can't respond to pms and the website is loading funny.

Anywho, 6A is completed in it's refurbishment and 6B is currently down for refurbishment. It looks like they are going to move into Casitas 5 next.

Also our night time courtesy shuttle has been shut down.

Thank you all for being understanding as I have went MIA for awhile. Unfortunately, one of my dearest fellow CMs has and still is currently going through a terrible divorce. She has no family here and Florida so I was her go-to girl. She is now safe and sound (along with her one year old daughter) in Kentucky with her aunt and is working on getting the things she wants in their divorce agreement. It's been quite a stressful time for the both of us.

We always send in our fax request about three days before our arrival at the CSR. A lot of people say the faxes are not read, but we've been told my the front desk at the CSR that they are. So it certainly wouldn't hurt to send in the fax.

Ok.......mini trip report time on CSR 3/1-3/8

So we're back!
This was our 1st time at CSR and also our first time staying on property. We stayed in Cabanas 8A on the second floor in a king room facing the parking lot. I was a little disappointed with the view but whatever. It was a renovated room and was clean. As the week went on i think that having a 2yr old being on the second floor far from the elevator was the worst part. But we managed. As far as the view goes.... Yes it would be nice to open the door and see the lake and the hammocks. But to tell you the truth we were in the room from 9:30pm to 8am and then were gone all day. So I had mostly park views.

We were in the parks everyday except for Wednesday. This was our 'relaxing' day. My daughter loved the dig site. It was a little cold (71) but we went in the pool anyway. Had the nacho's for lunch and my DW & DD shared the chicken fingers. We took a nice walk around the lake and checked out the resort. The Casitas & Ranchos sections (in my opinion) have nicer architecture and grounds. But being in 8A for us was the perfect spot... close to el centro, the laundry, dig site, and bus stop #4. There was also the quiet pool (which we didnt use) close as well.

We loved the resort and I would stay here again without a doubt. Next time I would like to spend a little more time in the resort relaxing. We were kinda 'park commando's' this trip trying to fit everything in.

Also thanks to Buzz and Kathy for answering everyones questions (including mine). I can see why so many people love this resort. I might post a trip report.... never did one before .. seems like work LOL but I guess I can relive our trip while doing it.

(I'll post a few pics once I upload them)

Hi, Jamie! Thanks for checking in and bless you for helping your CM friend! I'm sure you made things easier for her and her daughter.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Welcome back!!

Glad you had a great trip...sorry about your room (I would have requested a room change, but we like a good view on vacation as we always have down time everyday).

Location sounds great, though! We're considering requesting Cabana's next trip.

Thanks for the short TR. Come on, do a real one!!!

 

[KatMark]

Tim, thanks for letting us know about your trip and your stay at the CSR. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it (although I wish you could have gotten that view of the lake). Next time you stay, try out the Casitas--it is our favorite section and the only one we've stayed at in our seven visits (and, believe it or not, we are thinking of asking for Ranchos or Cabanas this trip...just for a change of view ).

Please do let us know if you do a trip report so that we can share in your adventures. And we can't wait for your pictures (and if you don't mind, I may copy those pictures up to the CSR Photo page).

JamesLynn: First, you are a good friend to help your friend through her ordeal.

Thanks for the update on CSR. Casitas 5 is where we usually request and stay on each trip so I'm glad to hear it might be next on the rehab list (although we are thinking of trying Cabanas or Ranchos just for a change of view after our first seven stays).

Keep us posted when you can.
