Got an email today from my travel agent saying that the new system allows you to check in online 60 days in advance How does that work so far ahead? Anyways, I keep second guessing staying here..someone tell me I made the right choice. Our dd will be a month shy of 7 years old when we get to Disney and I want to make sure she'll enjoy herself. She doesn't swim yet and won't go down water slides. Is there a smaller area of water that she can go to if not the big pool?

There is a kids pool.

There are quiet pools in each area. We haven't even been to the dig site yet and not sure we will to be honest. For such a large resort it is so quiet and peaceful

Was there last week with a split stay. Had a room only 2 night stay at Pop prior to our CSR stay. Our magic bands which we got from our Pop stay worked the entire time at CSR. Our fast passes worked too! CM at check in wasn't sure everything would work with the bands... Do glad she was wrong!!!

THANK YOU!! I'm so glad to hear this. I went ahead and booked the FP+ for my entire trip with the hopes that they would work. The CM that I spoke with was adamant that they would not work after we checked out of AoA and moved to CSR. In fact she told me that they would be 'dropped from my Magic Band at some point'... whatever that means???

Did you notice kids in the lounge? We are considering at stay at CSR but have a young daughter.

No problem with kids, there was a teenager when I was there, but I only ran into 5 rooms of people while there. They have a wii if your kids are into that, the lounge staff are the nicest cms that I have ever come across, and are super helpful and accommodating.

Is there some sort of map which shows where the corner rooms are located in each building?

Um. On the corners. Lol. Sorry first thing that went through my head.

 

[Disney*Dreamer]

Have you looked on Buzz's site?

Why I outta....

Would that be every corner? And do some of the corners face the hallway that goes between sections? What percentage of rooms are corners?

So many questions!

. I really don't know. But I am curious too as we requested a corner room.

Seems to me that the corner rooms would be a whole lot brighter.

Me too. I live a nice bright room!!

Actually there are more corners than just the obvious corners of the buildings. They're not "straight" buildings. They jut out in some spots (at least they do in the Cabanas section) as you can see by this photo. Those "shutters" are on the corners on the outer part of the corridor.

We stayed in a corner room but it was actually located in the center of the building.

We were there during the Dream Cars & National Mustang Club weekend earlier this month!

We always have a great stay at CSR. The CMs are indeed some of the best there are!

Here is a photo of my Dream Team: Daniel & Ahimsa. These 2 wonderful CMs have made my 2 Business Class stays at CSR truly magical.

I need a map of room numbers. We'd love to request a certain block, same one we stayed at in 2011, but I don't know what rm # we were in.

Also, is there ever a chance of being 'upgraded' to waterfront if asked at check in? We are paying for standard, and I would only desire a pool view room. This being said, the room we had last time in the Casitas was perfectly placed between quiet pool and bus stop, right across from the laundry room.

I am staying oct 18-25 and just got to do fastpass+. FYI. Check your MDE!!!!

There is a map like that on Buzz's site.
