We will be in Disney 9/18-9/25 and we are staying at CS. I would like to request one of the buildings in the Cabanas area. We stayed in Ranchos in 2001. I have had great luck at AKL,POP and POFQ by asking for a specfic buliding/section when I checked in. They were able to grant my requests. Just wondering what kind of luck you have had with requests when staying there.Thanks in advance. :sunny:
 
Last year we requested the Cabanas and got it, no problem. :goodvibes
 
In all of our trips to WDW, CS is the only place I did not have my request honored. When I asked if it was possible to be assigned a room to Cabana 9 B, any room, I was told that there was a realty convention occupying two of the Cabana Buildings...

CS is a beautiful resort, and we were happy with our room location. It was a very long walk to the main building, but we didn't mind since we were missing the gym all week anyway. :sunny:
 
We have stayed at CSR about 8-9 times. It seemed when we requested the Casitas #3, we get them. When we request the Cabanas #9, we never have gotten them. We've were put it #8 a couple of times but thats it.
We will be there in 18 days and have requested the Ranchos section because they have a new internal shuttle (little golf cart thingys). DH sometimes has issues with his feet by the end of the day, and extra steps to the Ranchos would be miserable for him.
 

My trick with CSR is to request the room when your reserving it, and to check-in early (morning if possible), so that your check-in CM has a larger pool of rooms to pull from when trying to grant your request. It also helps that you're going during a historically slow time period for WDW (thought with the dining plan, who knows...).

I've stayed at CSR three times (in October) and have gotten a room in Cabanas 9B twice and Cabanas 8A once -- no problem.

Good luck!
 
I did not get my room request at CSR. I had asked for Cabana's (at reservation time and at check-in) and was given Ranchos. It turned out to be a good thing since once I saw the buildings I like Ranchos a lot better. I've never gotten a room request so I have stopped making them. I'd rather be happy with what I get than be disappointed that I didn't get what I asked for.
 
I asked for a room in teh casitas section and my request was met. It wasn't as close as the cabanas to the main building, but it was still pretty close.
 
Thanks maybe we will try Casitas. We wont be checking in until about 1 or 2 :: ...depending on the magical express. I am glad to hear about the internal shuttle, I guess I will call disney and add my request to my reservation and just keep my fingers crossed.
 
We've stayed at CSR twice , requested areas both times and got them both times. Each area is pretty large so maybe that helps. Have fun!!! :goodvibes
