Coronado Springs Resort -- New Unofficial FAQ Thread -- October 2010

[LJSquishy]

We'll be at the Poly for part of our trip and CSR for the other part. Is this just a testing period? When does it end? Unfortunately, during our trip, I'll have to post grades. We do have a hot spot but I would rather use something that is free.

I'm really excited to try out CSR.

Wifi is free all over CSR now and also at the deluxe resorts. This is a permanent thing, not a trial period.

Actually, I got most of them when I was there about a month ago, I think I missed 2 pieces though. At any rate, they're all on the following page of my gallery (easier than linking all the individual pictures)

Awesome pics Allan!!! Thank you! After going thru them my trip can't come soon enough.

For those who have made special room requests, were your requests honored?...also, if you're on the dining plan and using counter service credits, does pepper market charge the 10% gratuity to your bill?... I've read some pretty bad reviews about pepper market employees, is it really so bad?

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know she would want us to still go. She was an AMAZING woman! And I know she'll make sure the grandbabies have fun, and that's really what it's all about! Just hoping I will be able to relax a little as well

I see the half gallons of milk, does anyone know if they have normal sized cereal boxes? That may be easier than running over to Cafe Rix every morning for breakfast.

I am really excited to be staying at CSR from 10/4-10/8/12. We are going on the Disney Dream and then spending some time at Disney. One of my best friends has stayed here in the past and said such nice things about it that we are now trying it out.

Couldn't tell you about full sized boxes of cereal, but Café Rix sells (or did in May 2010) the small individual ones that are there own bowl.

This past Friday we booked our next trip to WDW and we're staying at Coronado Springs again! April 22nd to 28th, 2012. We can't wait. My daughter's second trip to WDW!

I saw a loaf of Arnold Premium Italian Bread in the store. Did not take notice to peanut butter and jelly anywhere except little packets in a basket on the bakery counter at the Pepper Market.

 

[Drscholls]

You can buy a loaf of bread at the bakery in the Pepper Market.

Some pics I took of the Ranchos just as the lights turned on.

Hi all,

We just decided that we're going from 3-4 to 3-10! We're planning to stay at CSR and want to know the best building for our daily plans. We'll probably eat bfast at the resort each morning and get right on a bus to the parks. We're planning on 1 pool day too for our DS6 and DD3. Should we spring for a preferred room or just take our chances requesting a certain building. Which building do you suggest?

TIA

We are going from 3/3 to 3/9! Have never stayed at the CSR before, but the pictures look lovely. Will the pool be warm enough at that time of year? My kids would LOVE it, especially with the slide. Do they heat the pool at all?

Also interested in knowing which building to request. Will have my parents with us....so least amount of walking would be best, and also QUIET.

THANKS!

We went in March last year. The air was very cold then, but we did go swimming. One of the days the pool water was freezing. We didn't last long. The next two days the water was nice and toasty even thought the air was cool. I think a very cold night is extra hard on the heater and takes a while to warm up so much water.

What to request depends on what you want. Do you want to be near the food court? The main Pool? A bus stop? CSR is huge and where you'd want to be would depend on what's the most important for you. For us it's being near the Dig Site theme pool.

DS asked to go to Disney for his Birthday in March so we just booked 5 nites at CSR. I wanted to do a value and then upgrade to the dining plan but just could not do it. We have stayed here about 4 years ago and do like the more adult feel of the resort. The pool is great and hopefully DH will like it. We are use to BC but I just could not afford it this time.
