We were in 8B, just on the other side of the laundry room complex.

While at the laundry room, on our first night, trying to dry our shoes in the dryer, I saw a raccoon scavenging from the trash can right outside the laundry room. Fairly tame too, wasn't afraid of me. Was more interested in the food it had dug out of the can.

The little squirrels at the Dig Site pool were like that ... they'd hop up on the table you were SITTING AT and try to take your fries or whatever. They were NOT shy!!! They're obviously used to people being around them.

This is for those who wanted to know about the pool hours.

Not a problem. I, too, was very very excited about my trip. I couldn't have been more pleased there at CSR. It's wonderful!!

Have a great trip!

We will be checking out before visiting the parks on our last day. We will be renting a car in the afternoon and then hoping for a swim before we hit the road on the next leg of our trip.
Are there bathrooms near the pool to shower and refresh since we won't have our room anymore?

Thank you for all those great pictures Kris, I'm very happy about the frontloading washing machine in the laundry room

Unless I don't know my WMs, I believe them to be top loading from the pictures above?

Sorry for the confusion, it does look like there's one front loader at the end of the row. That's what we use here in the UK and my clothes won't be happy with the top loaders. Someone else posted a picture a while ago of one of the laundry rooms at CSR and that had 2 frontloading washing machines.

The dessert is part of the Pepper Market buffet. I don't know if they would let you take a dessert "to go" or not. (to have later as a pre-bedtime snack) We didn't try. We were usually pretty stuffed when we ate lunches there.

They also had soft serve vanilla and chocolate ice cream by the pastries at the buffet ... along with little candies, sprinkles, choc chips, crushed oreos, etc. to put on it!!

Kris - thanks for all the great pictures! It sounds like you had a fabulous time!

Ilivetogo Great pics The images are so sharp. What camera do you use? I bought a new camera about a year ago and I hate it. Everything looks fuzzy all the time. Probably user error but I cannot figure out the dealy so looking to get another.

Semo233 Yes! They have very nice bathrooms including showers and lockers adjacent to the Dig Site pool just to the right as you are looking at Siestas. Also--there are nice bathrooms with showers at the spa/fitness center. I discovered them when I needed to use the bathroom while swimming at the Casitas quiet pool. I believe there was also an all-in-one body/hair shampoo in there as well.

Dh came home from work tonight and told me that he has been approved to
attend the MUSE Convention at the end of May! I'm going the first 2 weeks of
May with a friend. What to do??? Go to Disney TWICE in one month? Sounds
a little obsessive, even for me!

Thanks! I had (notice I said "had") a Pentax Optio S12 ( http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-Optio-Digital-Camera-Optical/dp/B0012Q72I4 ) and I loved it!! However, on this trip it died. I had to use my cell phone for my last day and a half of Disney. Tragic!!! Anyway, I just replaced it with a new Pentax they offered on Woot last week. It's a 16MP and it's bright orange!! ha! ( http://www.bing.com/shopping/pentax...x optio rz18&qpvt=pentax+optio+rz18&FORM=HURE ) So far it's amazing! The shots I have taken at home since I got it are incredible.

Hopefully I can win the lottery so I can go back to Disney and try it out there!!
