Coronado Fans-PLEASE POST WITH REVIEWS & RECENT PHOTOS!

[blanq]

I have just spent quite a bit of time reviewing this thread and Buzz's site (excellent, Buzz!!) and I have decided to take the plunge and stay at CSR for our upcoming January vacation. We have always stayed at deluxe or DVC properties, so the experience of a moderate will be new to us. The deciding factor for me was the new queen beds. I love my DH dearly, but after 24 years of marriage, I need my sleeping space! Really, when you compare the amenities of CSR to the other deluxes, they seem awfully close to me. I am really excited to give CSR a try!

We just got back from our first visit and we just loved CSR! In fact, we missed it so much that we just booked another stay for Dec 21-26th! I hope you love it as much as we do! Have a great vacation!

Congrats, Jamey! We just returned from CSR but missed meeting you. We checked in with Mike (I think) after midnight on the 28th. I probably should have asked where you were

We had a very relaxing trip thanks to all the info here. The best tip I'd say we had from this thread was about bus stop 2 being the first to pick up and drop off. That was really nice! This was our first time using Disney transportation instead of a car, and it worked out very well.

We were in Casitas 2 and loved the queen beds - very comfortable. And the grounds were beautiful.

All we were missing on the trip was some warmer weather! Only packing shorts and arriving on a night of record October cold wasn't the brightest idea. I apparently missed the forecast.

All in all, I'd say we have a new favorite in CSR!

Welcome back!!

 

[Buzz2001]

I just posted some more CSR pics on my TR.

These are from the quiet pool in the Casita section. It's funny that I never knew this existed on our last trip because we never looked around.

Nice pics!!

Thanks for the pics.

We can't wait to stay at CSR again. We will be there Feb. 7-15 for dd's b-day. We have been twice before, splitting our stay at AKL. This time we will be at CSR for our entire trip.
We have been in Cabanas 9B and Ranchos 7B. Any suggestions on another location? We want to be near the Dig Site and bus stop.

Thanks!

We stayed at CSR back in Oct. 2007. (Note: TR in signature with CSR pics etc..) We had such a wonderful time, but I was kind of sad we didn't have enough time to just "chill" and enjoy the resort. I vowed to hubby that next time we would have not need to see the parks commando style and could just chill.

Flash forward to today and the 7 nights for 4 nights deal. Knowing I could cancel if we have to (45 days in advance without a penalty), I decided to book. Going to break the news to hubby tonight. I just wanted to lock in the price before it was gone. I sure hope DH is down. We are also considering a cruise etc (instead of WDW) for our spring vacation, but it all depends on price and the ECONOMY. So, at least I have something booked and if I have to cancel, I can. I just hope DH is excited like I am!!

We loved the CSR! Last time we stayed in the Cabanas, and this time I requested Casitas 3. Thought we would try something new.

Ok ...let's see if I will resume joining this thread again like I once did last year. Crossing my fingers!

Can't wait until January, so we can personally check out the new business club rooms. Dying here for photos! Come on resort snoops - bring us some pictures!!!

Can you walk to any of the parks from Coronado or is it bus only? TA told me you could walk to AK or Epcot.

No, you have to take a bus. There are no sidewalks...too dangerous.
