CSR or CBR

[Forevryoung]

Omg we leave in two weeks and I have driven myself crazy!

Which one is better themed? We will be there for one night so technically it doesnt really matter-

Which one has a better pool/better slide? Thats a bigger question.

I heard CBR is really really spread out and involves a ton of walking- which is why I chose CSR... but now I keep reading about how CSR is totally business-like and not really nicely themed...

I think disney reservations is going to kill me- I upgraded from ASMu to CSR and if I change it again

Please please please stay at CBR. We loved it there, Coronado Springs is pretty dont get me wrong, its nice...BUT it is very business oriented, lots of hustle and bustle, CBR is beautiful, lush tropical landscaping, very laid back, big rooms.....I was very excited to try CS and have LOVED every Disney resort we have stayed at, and if there was nothing else available I would stay there again, but it was my least favorite. Some people like it, but CBR is my pick. They are both large and broken up into sections with a main pool area and foodcourt area...they both have quiet pools by some of the buildings. CS does have a bigger pool and slide. At CBR the pool and bar are right next to each other and the restaurants are right there as well. I feel like the theming at CBR came across better too, I felt it....I didnt really get it at CS. I hope this helps, have a wonderful time whatever you decide!

I much prefer CSR. It has a nice ambiance-- more like your in a far away place.

When we were at CSR, there were two conventions going on... well at least that's what it looked like. (I was reading the board on who is where in the banquet and one of them is Daytona and the other I can't remember.) Yes, we have seen some business folks walking around the ground. It didn't really bother us, I think if anything, it bothered them cause we were in our swimming clothes and walking jolly to the Dig Site. I guess they hated that we are having fun and they are not.

I just love the fact that there were never a time that I have to stay standing up in the bus. It was never crowded.

One thing that bugs me is how they drive those trams. They go so fast, that I feel like one of these visits, somone is going to get hurt.

I am not too crazy about Pepper Market. I find it very expensive there vs the other moderates or even the value resorts.

Ok, I switched it to CBR... I figure its ONE night- our only night onsite and it might as well be nicely themed. I know I cant go wrong, its Disney for goodness sakes

We wont be taking a bus because we have a wheelchair and need the van for stuff so that wont be an issue either

Thanks guys you're the best!

Actually, if it is a pool you are interested in, CSR has the better one and the slide is GREAT.

I have never stayed at CSR - but I loved CBR. However, the pool looked so much bigger in the pictures. I was kind of disappointed with the pool, but the resort is beautiful and would love to one day stay there again.

I have never stayed at CSR but my friends did one year and said it has a very business like feel. Now my family loves CBR. It is beautiful, and it has great themeing. There are wonderful sandy beaches with hammocks. We love the variety of the food court, and we have always had great bus service. The main pool is nice, we love the waterfall section. We love everything about CBR. Good luck in your choice.

I've never stayed at at CBR so I'm partial to Coronado Springs Resort.

The pool is great and to me it never felt "business". I always felt like I was on vacation at Disney.

We love CSR too!
