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

[disneymath]

I called today and was able to get 2 King bed rooms at CSR for 4 nights at the end of August (using my PIN code no less)!! Now I just need to wait for my 90 day mark for ADRs ... especially since it looks like Free Dining will be on at that time!

The CM who made my reservation was super friendly and efficient too. While we were waiting for things to go through on the computer, she said that she herself had stayed at CSR and mentioned some of the little things that she enjoyed (like breakfast buffet at Maya Grill and relaxing at Cafe Rix) I thought that was kinda neat. It was definitely the most "friendly" as opposed to "politely magical" reservation experience I've had.

Can't wait to see CSR in person!

I'm confused - I thought you couldn't get 2 offers at once. Can you get free dining when you've booked your room with a pin code? I have a bounceback room booked - can I get free dining added?

New and finally taking our 9 & 6 year olds to Disney for the first time. They're ecstatic! The excitement will be even greater when we tell them that we're going during the Star Wars weekends.

Initially our reservation was at the POR but we were able to change to the Coronado this week There wasn't a waterview available so right now we only have a standard.

Planning, thinking about transportation, etc has been a little overwhelming. I hope this is the right place to ask.

We have reservations for the Ohana Character breakfast at 7:30am. How do we transport from the Coronado to there? A friend told me that we would need to leave no later than 6:30am. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks for all of your posts, reviews & pictures. It was because of them that we decided to switch our reservations.

My DH and I are heading down to CSR tomorrow, but when I did my online check-in I noticed something. Does anyone know what the "pirate - water view" room is ?? I am staying at CSR not CBR (which I know was pirate rooms). I'm really confused by this. Plus, it looks like they upgraded me to water view (yea!) even though I booked a standard room (honeymoon perk maybe?) Any help would be wonderful!!

I would be out at the bus stop by 7:00am and take the MK bus. Then hop on the monorail over to the poly....... I think the monorail starts running at 7. Maybe there is someone out there to confirm this? There are no resort to resort busses.

Have a great time at CSR!!!! We were there the first week of March and loved it!

You might want to call on that one. Are you sure they didn't screw up and put you at CBR? There are no pirate rooms at the CSR, believe me.

You want to take over for me? I'll let you!

Ummmm I don't think i am qualified! I think you need more than 3 stays to turn into a semi-expert! I'd be too scared to give someone the wrong info and ruin their trip. Although I'm sure I would be corrected quickly!!!

I was reading someone's post about their ADR's that you responded to. Then I had a question for you. Then before I was able to ask you it slipped my mind. I think I need a vacation! LOLOL

You should have typed the question on the adr thread and then you wouldn't have forgotten. I think you need to get back to CSR ASAP and lay in one of the hammocks.

Yea I know.

I never even had the chance to lay in the hammocks... only Juliana did! We were going non-stop every day. Next time we have to add 1-2 more days to lounge around and really enjoy the resort!

 

[EstherS]

My trip is getting closer we leave here on the 26th of April and check in at CSR on the 27th.

Kat, I think one of those hammock's is calling my name!

Truthfully, I'm not sure what time the buses start as we always rent a car and drive everywhere. I thought I read at one time that the buses come at 6:30 a.m. for early breakfasts. I would check with the CM when you check in for your room. Personally, for about $8.00 - $10, I'd take a cab just to be safe.

Sorry if I caused confusion ... we don't have free dining (we paid regular price to add the dining plan to our 40% room only discount). It's just that since our dates overlap with Free Dining I know I'm going to have to book ressies at 90 days out.

Just wondering - are there refrigerators in the rooms (all, some, special request, rent)? I am finding conflicting info. Thanks! ~ Melissa
