And we are leaving in 2 hours! Had to check in one more time! Packed for winter and summer....crazy! I'll check back in when we get home in 10 days! wa-hoo!
I hope you change to another reosrt and get excited again about your vacation!We have been having some trouble picking a resort...actually just posted a thread yesterday. Dh and I really like the look of CSR, but decided against it because of some things I've read. Very large, slow buses that can be really packed, food court not that great... On the boards, I have read many, many, MANY more positive things about the CSR buses and the food than negative. I think CSR is a hidden gem, really---Nearly resort has a alot of walking--I agree w/ PP that the walk around CSR is exaggerated. POFQ has a lot of walking too and the bus there has quite a wiat at times.
We reserved a spot at POFQ, but just aren't really into that theme. I'm having trouble getting excited for the trip. We have little ones, so I liked the idea of staying there because it's small and has only one bus stop. We need a food court, as we don't plan on many ts meals. I think your gut is trying to tell you something!I'd call the resort directly to see how they respond to your concerns---they may be able tio reassure you if the posters can not.
What would you suggest for requests if we decide to change our ressie? CSR!! We want to be able to get a seat on the bus once in a while (we have a double umbrella stroller, two kids and a baby) and want to be somewhat close to the restaurants. Being a little farther from the main pool isn't a big deal...there are smaller pools throughout the resort, right?
TIA!
We have stayed at CSR when there was a convention and have not had any problems. We did see people walking around with lanyards and nametags. Depending on the size of the convention, the convention goers might all be in the Casitas or they might be scattered throughout the resort. Conventions also have the option of booking Cabana 9B as club level rooms if they choose to pay the price, so there could be convention goers in that building. I expect that they generally try to keep them together and close to the convention center, so I'd suggest Cabanas 8A and 8B and Ranchos 7B, 6A or 6B.
When Kathy sees your post, she'll probably have a much better answer for you. But I didn't want your question to get missed!
), and it looks like they have stuff scheduled from early morning until 5 or 6 at night, with lunch served at the convention. There is a party the night of June 8. I think you would likely see them in the morning at Pepper Market or Cafe Rix, then out for dinner or at the bar on the night of the 9th (and maybe the 7th if they come early). That's all speculation, and I don't know how many people they are expecting or how many rooms are blocked off. I don't know if Disney could/would tell you if you called.
I clicked on the link (just nosy
Some people are very bothered by seeing people with nametags and dressed in khakis when they are on vacation. If that will take away from the Disney feel for you, then it is good to know before you go. It doesn't bother us - we enjoy the empty pool and buses. But if it will impact your trip, it's best to know now so you can change if you need to.
Me too!
Have a wonderful trip! I'm sure you are doing what is best for your family, so enjoy your time with your son.
