French Q or CSR?

[twinboysmom]

This is becoming a tough decision, whe like the sound of a smaller resort in FQ and the DTD boats. But the slide at the pool looks to be small for the boys.

CSR looks great and our boys would love the pool and the dig site. The only thing here that we don't like is the sit down eating at their Pepper Market. Wish this was like the food court at POR or FQ, you know serve yourself style.

We have time still to decide on which to choose but we are keeping everything open. I would like to thank everyone for their responses to this thread it was very helpful.

I just wanted to comment on the pepper market. We went to CSR in June and ate at the pepper market several times. For breakfast and lunch it is a buffet (and a very nice one). For dinner, it is essentially as you said a serve yourself style. They do sit you and if you don't like where they put you they will find another spot. You then go up and get what you want like any other food court. You bring a card with you and they stamp your items on it for when you check out. The "waiter" just brings you drinks and refills (they will use your mugs). What I liked about it was that you don't wait to pay in a line with your food while it gets cold. You pay after you eat. There's a small surcharge that I guess is a tip for the staff. I found it worth it. For dinner they have the usual food court items and some Mexican items as well. We really enjoyed it over any other value or moderate food court.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CSR!!!!

1) Sliding door to separate the dressing area from the sleeping area.
2) Feels like a "get-away" from the park craziness.
3) Beds were sooo comfortable and rooms felt large.
4) Only one bus in 10 days where we had to stand and it was on a return trip.
5) Pepper Market was great...even for my husband who does not like Mexican food. And yes, food did not get cold.
6) Eating poolside was one of the highlights for our DDs and the playground, arcade and table tennis within the Dig Site, next to the main pool was so convenient. It let us enjoy these which we otherwise wouldn't have because we spend so much time in the parks.

Do they offer ice cream? We got ice cream on the ddp at pop and loved it. We are booked at at CSR this year and I am worried we are going to miss the food court at pop.

Ive heard from others that they do have ice cream. I even saw on one of the menus that they have churros with icecream....so they must have it.

I am chiming in with another vote for CSR. We have stayed in all the moderates and we really think that CSR feels a bit more deluxe-ish.

That being said, we are going around Christmas and are torn between CSR and POR because we think the POR theme may lend itself better to the holidays.

The CSR decorations for Christmas are beautiful! Check out the official thread for some great pictures.
