Here we are at CSR!! Started adding pics. Post #26

[dburg30]

I have NOT forgotten about you all! We didnt get a chance to goto walmarts last night. We needed to get my buddy all checked in at AS Music. Then we had the steam train tour this AM, THAT's an early tour , but VERY VERY fun. Jim is AWESOME! My friend and I then hooked up with my wife and we headed over to FW to eat at the buffet. We then decided to hit epcot for a while. We kept an eye on the weather, and when it looked like it was going to be good, we headed east to watch the space shuttle launch . We left a little late, but thought we had found a perfect spot along the road. We saw bright lights on the ground and thought that was the pad. Well.. It wasnt . The pad was to our left and was obstructed by trees and we were much further then we thought we were. Oh well, we DID get to watch a launch live. Dunno if any of those pics came out or not.

So today was rather busy . Weather was very warm, we got 'home' just a bit ago and it appears we had a little rain in the last hour or so.

I really cant talk much about crowds as we really havent 'toured' yet

Here is our travel story if you'd like to see it. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=28703349

I'll post more as we go along, but it's mid 80's and humid, not exactly November weather. Tomorrow supposed to be hot also, then the bottom drops out (to a point).

CSR is still beautiful as always. Of course we requested Cabana 9B, and of course, it's kinda getting stuff done to it right now. So I had asked if our room from last year was available. It wasnt, I had booked a standard view, but after smiling right to the young lady working the check in, we got a water view. Now, most people like 1st floor, and they were going to do that, and I kinda frowned and said we like upper floors so we dont have to listen to people above us. Heck, I didnt know CSR casitas had 4 floors That's were I'm at and LOVE IT. Beatufil water view that I'll post later. Casita 3 much more on the 'El Centro' end. Hey, I asked for a suite but couldnt smile good enough for that .

Ate at pepper market, and got our mugs!!! So here we are!!!

Oh, btw, what exactly is in a wet burrito.. I've seen pics of it, but what's in it??

Have a great trip!! Can't wait to read more...

Thanks for posting! Those pics are reinforcing my request for the Casitas this time around at CSR!

 

[dburg30]

Any sign of Christmas decorations at CSR yet?

None, BUT, I heard a couple of the workers talking, and they were mentioning moving somestuff in the check in area, which is where the tree will go, so who knows.. maybe soon!!

Thanks for posting Dburg30! Any Pictures would be appreciated. Can you snoop around 9b and post pictures!!!!

If I geta chance and remember I'll try to do that, no promises though

We will be there tomorrow afternoon over at CSR for 3 nights leaving on 11/17. Can't wait to get there!

See you there!

By tomorrow, I'll start dragging, so I'll be the slow one

I'll be at CSR in 53 days and I can't wait

I thought there was no internet connection there, am I wrong about that?

Have a great time

As stated they have high speed in all the resorts it just costs. I was using my cell phone tethered to my laptop for the first couple of days, but I did buy it last night so I could upload some pics for my family.

A wet burrito is when they pour enchilada sauce over it and melt cheese n top. YUM!!!!

I so wish I was as CSR right now. You will have to let me know how Casitas 3 is ..because I have a request in for that building!!

Keep us posted!!

Casita 3 IMO is great It's a short walk IMO to the 'important' end of El Centro.... THE FOOD!!! Also, one thing I figured out,and looking at the map, it appears that Casita 1, 2 and 3 are the only rooms that you can stay dry if it's raining as they are connected to El Centro. There is one little area right where the entrace for the Maya is that is a 'kinda' roof, it's a tight mesh of some sort so the rain doesnt come thru fast but you get dripped on some. But it's only abou 20 foot or so. Other then that I walked all the way from my room to El Centro in a downpour.. THAT's a bonus IMO
Looking at a map I cant tell if C2 can make it all the way covered or not. I think there may be a short area between that isnt attached.. Still wouldnt be bad though.

If you look on this map, where the #3 is (just to the left of the word Lago Dorado, that's about where I am staying, facing the lake. If you still use this picture, the row of 'waves' right above the word Lago Dorado is a straight shot as to what I would be looking at.

Glad to hear you are enjoying CSR!! I love the pics! Looking forward to seeing more of them!!

 

[Buzz2001]

I hope you get in to see the club level rooms!!

 

[dburg30]

As I posted, no club level peek for me!

Oh well.

As I did post in the club level news thread I started, it appears they are starting the rehab of the rest of the resort. Top floor of casita 1 had this sign up today.

So that's starting!


Also, to the poster asking abour XMAS, CSR will be decorated basically the day after thanksgiving.

That's too bad about the club room pics but glad to see they started the rehab.

I know you are staying in Casitas 3....does it have the queen beds yet? I only ask because I saw the sign you posted of Casitas 1 having refurb signs. Thanks!

All buildings have queen beds now. They had them before the rehab started.
