Back from our stay 5/3 - 5/8. booked garden wing standard. did online check in requested high floor and checked the option to have room early as we were scheduled to land at 1130. Had room ready txt upon arrival to MCO. we were in room 5359. could see the top of the castle, seven seas lagoon and the GF. Room was clean which feels weird to need to point out. Mousekeeping was fine throughout our stay but could never seem to reset the coffee station. Soaps and stuff were never replaced which is ok. Didn't use the pool but did walk around the area and thought it to be more than I was expecting.
Never had an issue with the busses or monorail. Took monorail to GF twice and it took about half as long as I expected. Epcot monorail too. No breakdowns or maintenance shutdowns.
Had dinner at the wave grabbing day of ADR during the rain on 5/4. Food was good. It was loud but not too bad considering that nearly every table had kids at it. Service got extremely slow towards the end of our meal. It felt like they weren't prepared for the crowd that night. My bill was incorrect and then still incorrect after they tried to fix it. They charged us for two desserts when we only had one then took the wrong one off. there was only a couple dollar difference and we were going on 20 minutes since we were done eating so we just paid it. Should have ate at the bar. Got pastries at contempo each morning. quick and easy. 15 minutes from when i left my room to when i returned.
the concierge can put in late check out requests and apply gift card to your bill in case i'm not the only one who didn't know they could do that.
The walk to and from MK is by far the greatest amenity here.
The garden wing was very quiet. Nice after all the park stimulus.
We definitely liked this resort. Wouldn't say love it. It's location is it's saving grace for me. There wasn't that initial 'wow' upon arriving. Think of when you first walked into YC or GF with their large detailed lobby and compare to CR with its check in counter and elevator bank. Perhaps it is because the convention space is right there and off to the side our out of the way.
I wouldn't hesitate to consider CR for a future stay, especially on a MK centric trip.
