Yes it's real. You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to, it's a recording.

Nope don't care to talk to a person. Just don't care if we have one or not. it wasn't me who wanted to know. I hope the person who did sees that you can call though.

Hoping it works that you have one as this does sound like a medical reason. I understand about using your own ice pack verses just using ice from the ice machine. It is different. Fingers crossed for you!

Buzz, the resident Coronado Springs Expert reported on his website (in the forums) as well as I believe some pages back on this thread that in fact all fridges have been replaced as of Aug 23. I have always found Buzz's info to be correct and up to date. I'd feel confident that you'll have a working fridge when you arrive. Thanks Buzz for all your hard work and great updates! Keep them coming!!!!

Buzz is the definitive word on all things CSR. His site is always updated and accurate.

Can you CSR experts give me some advice? Staying at CSR standard room one night. What building or area should I request? We're coming from the port from a Disney Cruise so I'd just love to do a short walk to the room and quick access to a bus.

Does anyone know - are the junior suites all together or spread out? I'm wondering if you can get a junior suite next to a regular room.

Thanks in advance! (Sorry if this has been addressed before, I didn't read through the whole thread.)

We are staying there for the first time in Nov. From the research we've done and all the information we've gleaned from everyone on here, we are requesting Casita #4. From
What we have learned it is suppose to be the closest standard building to El Centro (check in and food services) as well as its at bus stop #4 which is actually the first bus pick up stop for transportation to the parks.
Anyone else (any real experts) please correct me if I'm wrong.
Have a great time!!!

When we made our booking online (Disney UK) we reserved a "water view" room (at the request of DH). Does anyone know what building this is likely to be...?

Thanks

OT but we are doing the opposite!!! We are staying for 4 night at CSR and then driving down to Miami to get the Magic on 10/27.

I have read that "Cabanas" building is closest to El Centro and bus stops but I just recently started researching this resort so others may have better info.

Just signed into MDE and was asked to customize our MBs and choose FP+! We check in at CSR on October 18-23. Can't wait... Happy 40th bday to me!

I just checked my MDE also and was allowed to order Magic Bands for our October 24-31 CSR stay!!! Yay!!!

Same here on FP+! Oct 18-25 at CSR and was checking into F! FP+ for our POR stay Oct 25-27 and SURPRISED to see FP+ available for our entire WDW stay. Really crazy since we have MB ordered for the POR portion and FP+ for about 2+ weeks now, so we just figured we it wouldn't happen for CSR. YIPPEE! Now hope we can double dip a bit on FP/FP+ as that would be way cool!

Wonder if the MB will work the entire time with the split stay? I've heard you need 2 sets though from the Dis.

I also signed into MDE and was able to get Magic Bands for our stay 10/23-10/27. I called to cancel another reservation and the CM on the phone said they are starting the MB's at CSR on 10-14-13.

I was very excited and had all my reservations linked but when I went to do my Fastpass+ it let me book 3 FP for 2 of our 4 day stay but when I tried to make them for a 3rd day it said I used up my allotment? I thought you could book 3 FP's per day of your stay? Is that incorrect? Thanks for your help.

I was allowed to book 3 FP+s per day based on the fact that I have 6 day base tickets (I think). That was my assumption because I was allowed to book 3 a day for 6 days of our trip. We are staying 8 nights, but I wasn't allowed to book 8 days worth so I am pretty sure it's based on the tickets you purchased.

If that doesn't solve your problem, then call the Magic Band help #. It's on the Disney site with all the other contact numbers. I had to do this to get one of my bands straightened out that I was having issues with.
