Hi! After several days and many sessions - I have read the whole board lol. WOW what alot of great information! We (me, dh, dds 14 & 10) have booked CSR on your good reviews for December 10-17 and can not wait!!
When we went to POFQ a few years ago, DH enjoyed spending the evening after the parks in the hot tub with a beverage under the guise of doing laundry lol.My pre-ramble is up to this question - is the Dig Site the only spot at CSR with a hot tub? It doesn't look like the quite pools have one but I don't want to assume.
We plan on renting a car for most of the trip so the other location considerations probably don't apply as much for us. Oh - another question is ME - we had originally just planned to cath it to the resort and use the rental for the return to the airport. WWYD? Is ME super realiable and will get us and our luggage to the airport without any snags? Or if you had a rental, would you keep it and drive yourself to the airport? (our flights are domestic although we are from Canada - we fly from Detroit)
We are hoping for fall free dining for our time there as we had planned to stay at POP but upgraded on the hope of free dining.
On a seperate not - do you find that the Disney trip planner in your family tends to be WAY more excited about the trip than the rest of the family? Or is it just me who has immersed herself in all things Disney while my family lives in the 'real' world of knowing we're 7 months from our trip?
Thanks for this great board and all your tips and advice!
Hi briabbysmom, first off

On all of our trips, we've only used DME from and to the airport. Returning to the airport is reliable from our experience. The day before you checkout you receive your DME departure information with your pickup time. Be at the DME area 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time and the bus will usually arrive very near the time it was scheduled. You will be picked up approximately 3 hours before your flight. And depending on your airline you can check your luggage at RAC (Resort Airline Check in) before you leave the resort. We've never used this as we are also Canadian and our final destination is a Canadian airport so we have to check our luggage at the airport.
I'm the Disney planner in our house and yes I am way more into it than the rest of my family. But they benefit from all my good planning and all the great advice from the boards!
