I can't speak to the fridge situation, but I can certainly tell you that my family stayed at CSR last September and absolutely loved it!. It is a large resort, but that was actually part of the charm for us. The CM's were wonderful, the rooms were VERY nice, the pool is awesome, and the beds were really comfortable.
I stayed there in 2008 and loved it as well. My room did have a small refriderator, coffee maker, safe and hairdryer. My room was a short walk to the private pool and fitness room, which I loved. The grounds were beautiful but it is a huge resort. I have also stayed at CBR and loved that as well. You can't go wrong with either resort.
"Hi all, I have a reliable update on the fridges at CSR. This information is credited to Buzz, who is the most reliable source of info related to CSR.
They have currently replaced 1200 of the 1900 fridges. Target date to have the other 700 replaced is Aug. 25th. There is a huge convention that has the entire resort booked from 8/25-8/28 and then the big car show weekend after that. They are hoping to have all the fridges replaced for that. I think this is good news for many on this thread!"
