We had a wonderful trip! We got home on Sunday after 6 nights at CSR. We had requested Cabanas 9A or 9B and we got 9B. I didn't request the lagoon view so we were facing the parking lot, but we had a great room. It was right on the far end of the building, top floor, room 9220. It was a corner room so we had windows on 2 sides and it felt like the room was larger. Right around the corner and down the stairs was the quiet pool and laundry. We just walked across the parking lot to Bus Stop #4. Ideal location for us!
The room was immaculate and we had good "mousekeeping" service the whole trip. They left extra soaps, shampoos and conditioners most days. Being on the very end, we did return to our room for rest twice around 1:30-2:00 and the room had not been cleaned yet. We told them we'd be gone by 5:00 and they came back to clean it then.
We ate at Pepper Market on our last night and the food was good. I had a chicken quesadilla and my husband had a cheeseburger. Our toddler inhaled his chicken strips so they must have been good! Our 5-yo did not care for his cheese pizza, however.
Crowds at the parks fluctuated considerably. The EMH parks were crowded, but we braved the Studios on 9/3 to get a last chance to ride Rock-N-Roller Coaster before it closed.
At times, we walked onto Splash Mountain at 10:30 AM with NO wait, Space Mountain at 11:00 with NO wait. But we did notice waits of up to 50 minutes at Soarin' (which was amazing!) and Test Track on our first day at Epcot.
I can't copy and paste my photos from Snapfish for you for some reason.
I would love to share my Coronado Springs at dusk picture - I think it's pretty good, if I do say so myself! 
Our trip was such a success and we enjoyed the free dining so much that my husband agreed to let me book the Bounceback special!
Since our seasonal passes activated on 9/3, we're going back 8/30-9/3 next year to get 2 years' trips out of them!
Thanks for the tips, DIS-ers! My son got candy from the "candy lady" at Japan, he did the Junior Chef program at The Land and we saw some fun things thanks to your expertise!
