CSR Question....again

[SandraC]

Last year I faxed a room request to CBR, I was very specific:

Newer rehab (only a couple villages were finished at the time).
Second floor (no newts)
Corner (two views)
Near the pool.

I got exactly what I asked for! YIPPY!

I just called CRO and requested Cabanas 8A, but nothing else. I think I will still fax my additional requests 4 days prior to arrivial. I still like the second floor and corner rooms. I think I'll ask they we not face towards the Dig Site to cut down on any possible noise. How does that sound? Sandra

Second floor (no newts)

gingrich??? j/k

i hadn't heard about newts at csr???

The Coronado Springs Hotel is located at: 1000 West Buena Vista Drive; Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-1000; Telephone: (407) 939-1000; Fax: (407) 939-1001

I always fax the request 5 days prior to arrival. I also request 2 or 3 rooms listed in order of preference. Anywhere in the cabanas section is nice. 8a is just closest to the pool.

Well I really hope we can get into the cabanas since I've had my request in from the beginning but I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway. I really don't want to stay near El Centro due to the conventioneers which is why I was hesitant about CSR in the first place. I hope it works out now that we've got our heart set on CSR!!!

sorry couldn't resist

Sandra, you probably got your requests granted because the whole front desk cracked up at "no newts." I bet you were the first "no newts" requester they ever had.

Dude, can't newts climb the stairs?

 

[SandraC]

Hardy Har har! LOL! You guys are too funny. I knew the second I typed NEWTS I'd be in for it. LOL!

Last year I saw one of those little critters climb into the air conditioning unit of a first floor room at CBR. YIKES! I'd be spending my vacation on standing on a chair in the room! dh likes is as funny as you all do. dh wonders why I fear the newts but no the GIANT MOUSE running the place ! Sandra

 

[caitycaity]

i had a bad newt experience at BB, so i can see where you are cming from, but it does seem like they would be able to get onto any floor.

 

[jipsy]

SandraC & Caity maybe you need to carry more of this:

 

[caitycaity]

LOL, jips.

 

[dcgrumpy]

I've never gotten any of my requests at WDW except for non-smooking and I've never been dissapointed with what I got.

 

[SandraC]

LOL! Stop it! My sides hurt! LOL! It's the liberal newts I fear! LOL! Sandra

Sandra - CSR has central air so you won't have to stand on a chair unless you leave your door open. No wall a/c's. Now you can request that 1st floor room

wow....three pages on question about CSR. I though no body likes CSR besides Mario and myself.

for those who have stayed at CSR,

How bad/good is Rancho comparing to Casitas and Cabana?
I saw pictures of the beautiful fountains at Casitas. Also, Cabana has been everyone's fav. Comparing to those, Rancho looks like a nobody's land. The decor looks like a desert, too.......... Just for those reason, I really don't want to stay in Rancho. However, my life has been pretty much governed by "murphy's rule." So, I need to prepare myself just incase I get Rancho.

Thanks.

I have really enjoyed all the pictures I have seen of CSR. All the Buildings look fabulous! I would be happy in any of them, BUT since WDW seems so accomodating, I go thru my list of *nice to have things* the top of our list is close to the Dig Site. Although, last year we stayed at CBR in Aruba and it was a 7 minute walk to the main pool and we still really enjoyed that! I also like Cabanas because it is two stories, reminds me of CBR, again, which we loved very much. I am sure we will enjoy CSR. I thank you all for your wonderful comments, yes yes yes, even the cute little ha ha's about the scary newts.

Can you hear upstairs neighbours stomping from the first floor? I might adjust my request of room as follows:

Corner Room
First floor
Not the closest rooms to the Dig Site
Cabanas 8A

What do you think? I am going for noisy factor ~ LOL ~ dh thinks we are the noisy ones! Sandra

 

[Buzz2001]

The only time I can remember hearing noise is when someone walks by the door/window. But I never experienced any rude guests making noise late at night in front of the doors or walkways leading to the doors.
