So, I have booked DH and myself for free dining staying at CSR. I am excited as I have tried for 3 years to get free dining at CSR and each time there has been no availability and we have stayed at POFQ.(once I went with my mom and once with my dad). Anyway, DH is not liking the idea of using buses for all our transportation... he would like to be at an Epcot/boardwalk resort or a monorail resort, but because we have 2 DD's in college that we have to pay for, those resorts are kind of out of our price range!! Plus, like I said, I have always wanted to try CSR, especially the pepper market. I am wondering how long the bus rides are to the parks, and where should I request to be in CSR to minimize bus riding time? We usually either drive down or rent a car, so we have not used the buses much. I am trying to make this a relaxed trip. DH is not a Disney fan like me, so I want to make sure he has a fun time too. And a lot of that depends on if it is a hassle to get to and from the parks. Thanks!!
 
The CSR is one of the most centrally located resorts. I loved staying there. I stayed in the Casitas 4, this area is closest to the first bus stop, so you have the drive around the resort, but you are the first picked up and dropped off. So no standing.
The ride to Epcot was about 10 minutes, MK about 17 minutes, AK 10 minutes, DHS 15 minutes.
 
We stayed at CSR and had no issues with the bus service. As stated it's actually pretty central to all the parks. We stayed in Casita 3 both times. Both were water views (free upgrade both times, one of the perks to going in the off season :) ). So we always used bus stop 1, but as stated that one (el centro) is the last to be picked up for the parks, and the last one to be dropped off, but I dont think we hardly ever stood even in the AM, but again, perks for going in the off season. The DTD bus (IIRC) picks up first at #1 so on that one we had to ride all the way around. We also used cabs from there a few time with no problems at all.
