I promised an update tonight and I plan to deliver. We just had a downpour come through here. It was wicked, but reminded of the thunderstorms you get in Disney world. Pouring one minute, people huddling in buildings and beneath awnings, sun out the next. A fitting weather scenario for another update.
Saturday was moving day. I already told you how I felt about moving day and what I would do differently in the future (other than not bring my teenagers). So although I was sad to leave Kidani, I was also curious to see CSR. It is a resort I have always wanted to stay in, yet it has always eluded me. My first trip on property was in 2003. We did the original buy 4/get 3 free deal. We stayed at POR. CSR was not available. We went back in 2005 for the first year of free dining. We stayed at CBR. CSR was not available. Well, actually it was, but only a waterview. I make it a point never to pay for something I don't think adds much value and that would be a water view. All I have to do is walk outside if I want to see a water view. I'm not paying for that when I could use that money for something more essential - like food or souveniers.
My next "family" trip was in 2006. We stayed at SSR on "rented" points. Our last family trip was 2008 - we stayed at SSR on our own points. That brings us to today. Now, I must mention that I did have several other trips to the world, but they included only miscellaneous family members. One of those trips was even solo. In those trips I generally stayed value because it seemed like the thing to do. So in addition to SSR, POR, CBR, one night at POFQ, I have also stayed at POP and ASmu. So finally....finally....I was getting a chance to stay at CSR. I have been coveting Buzz's pictures for years. Now I could take my own.
So on moving day I decided that I wanted to visit the health club one more time. And this time I planned to take my camera. I was going to try to take whatever pictures I may have forgotten.
In case you thought I forgot.....Here is my picture of the door:
On my way to the health club I tried to take some animal pictures, but the animals were not on the savannah. They were actually back near their animal pen.
See them.....Way off in the distance:
A little bit closer:
Empty chairs around the fire pit:
But now it was time to go meet my nemesis:
and guess what.... The TV worked today!!!!!!!!! Right on!
Here is my stellar (eh uhm.....boring) view out the window:
I did NOT take pictures of any of the other exercise equipment because there was another man in there and I KNEW he would think I was CRAZY. Trust me, the universal gym equipment was very, very nice.
After I was done running I did what any good Dis'er would do next. I took pictures of the bathroom. This bathroom was gorgeous. I haven't seen a bathroom this pretty since I skied at Snowbasin in Utah. Snowbasin was one of the mountains they used for the Olympics and they did a serious refurb on those bathrooms to make them very, very upscale. But, I digress. Here is the BR at the kidani health club/pool:
Bathroom sink tile:
Lights for LL:
The changing table:
These pictures did not do the bathroom justice.
Once outside I decided to take some more pictures of the pool area (you can never have enough). But first, I took a picture of this man cleaning the windows. He was out there every morning making sure that people like me didn't need to look at smudges and finger prints:
Here is the hot tub I never went in, cause I was already hot enough and saw no reason to get any hotter.
More pool:
Another Hot tub:
Behind this green barrier is supposed to be another savannah. That would be cool - to be at the pool and be able to see animals on the savannah.
To be continued:
I got a big kick out of that! MY is the exact opposite! I still need a map in DHS and AK and DH goes "Oh come on! lets go! I know where it is!" He used to read the atlas for fun as a kid, no joke! 
It was a lot better than Tony's IMHO. 
Bad!
, I think Epcot is part of my Y&BC addiction. 
I just want to take a moment to Thank You for posting your Wishes Fireworks picture! 
We needed the Kidani room keys for day 6 (Saturday) because they had our meal plan credits that we were still using.
