The "carts" used to take people from one end of the resort to the other. However, they did away with that a few years ago and it is basically only offered to convention guests. However, on occasion, you will get a nice CM who will stop and ask if you want a ride....but it is very rare (don't know if it is an insurance thing or what?).

We were there last week and it was offered to everyone. Not sure if it was because of the all the rain but they had signs out where they were picking up people. They were very nice and gave us a ride a few times.

Just curious - how did you "use" the golf carts? Did you call to ask them to get you? I saw them quite frequently driving around, but never really knew exactly "who" they were toting around.
.

There was a sgin outside of Ranchos 6B I believe. They asked me if I wanted a ride when I was walking in the rain to get DH some med and I took them up on it. She said just wait by the sign and they come around every few minutes. They had stops at El Centro and Casista's as well.

Interesting. They must have started up this service again. They weren't doing this in December when we were there.

I was there May 24th through June 3rd and didn't see any "cart stops". We did a decent amount of walking around the resort too.

It may have just been set up for a convention.

It may have just been set up for a convention.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm really beginning to worry about our decision to stay at CSR. It seems like the reviews lately have been more bad than good

Me too!

 

[madcat]

Me too!

HANDYMOM, like I told Momof2, dont worry about it. It wasnt a bad resort, it was very pretty and relaxing as far as the grounds were concerned. We ended up in a good area that was pretty much in the middle of everything (equal walking distance to El Centro and The Dig Site) our bus stop was close and the beds were sooo comfortable. The kids loved the pool, dig site, we were really close to the quiet pool but of course they wanted to go to the big pool every time and on a few days we saw CM's playing games with the kids at the pool so there was ALWAYS something being done. Give it a chance if you hate it, try to change resorts, if you love it it might become your favorite. I am of the opinion that 1. Disney trips cost a lot of money, no matter the discount that is being given and 2 because of the cost you should be happy and comfortable with your resort, its not about having every one of your requests granted or met, we all know how many people they service on a daily basis, however you are in charge of your own vacation, you paid for it you know what you can tolerate and what you cant. I hope you have a wonderful and magical time.
