We just got in last night after a week stay at CSR and all I can say is that it was even better than I expected from start to finish. Check-in took minutes and the CM was so friendly and gave the kids all sorts of fun pins and stickers. I requested connecting standard view rooms in Casitas and was sure that we would have a view of the parking lot. But instead we received connecting rooms with a beautiful view of a courtyard. The room was spotless and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The mousecleaning left us towel animals all week along and set up the kids stuffed animals in all different cute ways, the kids loved it.

The pool was great, the slide was open and we all had fun on it. Just an FYI if you have little kids, you can bring your room key to the marina and they will give you a life vest to use for the entire stay free if charge. It was great because my 3 yr. old was able to go down the water slide and we didn't have to catch her at the bottom, which made her feel so grown up. Our four kids loved the pool! I enjoyed meeting Francisco at the the pool bar and really enjoyed my lime/strawberry margarita at the pool!

We also loved the Pepper Market, I was a bit nervous because of the mixed reviews, but it was great! The food was excellent and an amazing value on the dining plan. We especially loved the Mexican section, the fajitas and quesadillas were so good!

There were conventions going on while we there, but they in no way interfered with us. They were busy during the day and left the buses fairly empty. The only time we were on a packed bus was on the way home from MK. We stayed for Wishes and as expected there was a long line for the buses, but that was the same for every resort. I also liked staying at the Casitas because we were the first stop to be picked up and we always had a seat on the way to the parks and we were the first to get off the bus coming home.

CSR was not my original choice, we wanted to stay at POFQ but we were able to get a better deal by staying at CSR so we decided to give CSR a try and we couldn't be happier. CSR will for now on be our resort choice, it was perfect in every way! I am already starting to plan our next trip to CSR!

Awesome review! Glad you enjoyed CSR. It's our favorite too.
 
Thanks for the great report! We love CSR too and it's the only moderate for us at WDW!
 
Thanks for the great review! :goodvibes

We will be checking in at CSR in just 16 days!! It's our first time there.

I'm glad to hear that the buses weren't too crowded. I think there is a conference going on when we will be there too.

Do you have to go to the marina to get the life jackets? Are they available at the pool? Last year they had them available at the POFQ pool, and that was nice and convenient for the kids.

You said the slide was open, does that mean that the rehabs have already been done to it??? That is great news if that is the case!! :cool1:
 

Thanks for the review... I will be checking into CSR in about 16 days.... I can't wait....
 
Thanks for all the positives on CSR. We're doing a split stay in July between POFQ & CSR. It sounds like we'll be very happy! :goodvibes
 
Thanks for the great review! We are staying there for the first time in Aug, this review is making me excited for it!! :)
 
No, they didn't have the life vests at the pool, but once you "rent" one you don't have to return it until the end of your visit.

The slide finished its refurbishment. It opened on Saturday and while at the pool we saw a management team come out and check to make sure all was in order. What a great slide! I think my husband and I had as much fun on it as our kids!
 
I can't wait....We will be there in July.
I love reading all the great things about CSR.
 
Thanks for the great review, reading it really makes me excited for my stay in May.
 
Thanks for the trip report - our next stay at CSR is 300 days away and seems like an eternity right now! Hearing your report keeps me psyched for our trip.
 
Thanks for your trip report. Our first stay at CSR is coming up quickly - only 10 days to go!
