CSR is great!!

[Buzz2001]

MK was great. Not as crowded as DHS. The MK bus stop is still in front, bus stop #10. It's one of the first stops. Its tied with another stop because the stops are side by side. Three rides had 40 min (BTMRR, SM, Peter Pan) waits but PoC, HM, Splash Mtn, Mickey's Phil, Buzz, IASWAA were 10 mins or less.

It was beautiful tonight because the weather was perfect.

When we went to DHS this morning, the bus came right away but some folks said they had to wait 30 mins for a MK bus. Then when we left for MK at 7pm, we walked up and the bus came right away but the folks at bus stop #1 couldn't get on the previous MK bus because it was packed. Had to wai for a second one that came when I walked up two mins later. A manager came over to apologize to them . The MK bus was also packed leaving MK at midnight.

Hola! Live from CSR!! Just got back from DHS. Weather - 87 degrees today, sunny, no humidity. The lines were long for ToT (70 mins) and RnR (120 mins), FP's work great!

Check in at 9:00am - two connecting rooms in cabana 9b on the backside facing the lake, 9529 and 9530. Villhermosa (from Mexico) was great! The king room is normal, high bed and tub. The rooms are in excellent condition. A small dent in the wall by the table in the king room. Looks like someone slammed the table into the wall. Check in took only 10 mins. I was second in line.

The double bed room has new plastic covering that encases er the sheets to prevent bed bugs. Also, new alarm clock that are MP3/CD player compatible. It has a a plug on the side for the players. I'll load pics later.

Had breakfast at the PM, It was crowded but CM Debbie got our drinks and refills and bussed our table. Pink lemonade was available along with the soda, tea, coffee and iced tea.

Heading out to MK tonight, open until 3:00am!

I talked to one of the life guards at the pool and she didn't know anything about the pool closing. She suggested calling recreation because they do all pool maintenance for WDW. I'll keep checking.

Questions, ask away!

More to follow!

ps - I'll get the questions answered from the folks who PM'd me asap.

Glad to hear your enjoying your vacation Buzz. Your in Cabana 9B I see. That is our first choice when we stay. We requested Cabana 9B (second floor) and then our back up was Casitas building 3 I think (again not on the first floor). Anyway we also requested a room with a King size bed. Do you know how many rooms have King size beds? Were a bit spoiled as we have a King at home.

I like the idea of the plastic matress cover on the bed. I've actually seen more and more hotels start to use these. Can't wait to see pictures. Enjoy!

This is a great thread! Glad you are having a great trip! We are staying at CSR in April. I am so torn about room location! We had requested Casita 1, which is seems no one requests! We thought it would be close to Pepper Market and the big pool (which we will only go to 1 day) and the front bus stop. We really like the look and feel of the casitas vs. the cabanas but now I wonder if we should change it! Looking forward to hearing more!

Love the live reports. I feel so lucky that you are at CSR just before our trip so we will have so much current information when we go!

Sounds great Buzz... hey does CSR have any paths or trails to take a morning stroll? On my last vacation at POR a 6:30-7:00am walk always meant having wildlife sightings.

 

[denman007]

Yes...from Buzz's website...

Hey Buzz, Glad you are having a good time.
Any word on when/if the resort will be going through a rehab?
