*Ladies only trip* CSR wins!! (See the gorgeous pics on p.4!!)

***Although the poll is open through tomorrow, I think it's safe to say we will be going with Coronado Springs Resort.***


Okay ladies. We have our dates set. First step completed.
And so far in the resort category poll the moderates are coming out ahead so the next step would be to get a feel for which of the mods everyone is interested in.

Now I know nothing is set in stone yet. And I know there are a few of you who are still tossing around the idea of a deluxe or even DVC and that's fine.

This is simply to see what direction we would be headed if we end up at a moderate. I am still waiting for a call back from Leisure Groups to see what discount we could get at AKL, just for comparison.

In the meantime, if you had to chose from one of the mods which would it be? And if anyone has any experiences (good or bad) with any of these resorts please share. We'd love to hear it.

I voted for Coronado Springs. I've never been to any of them so I have no real preference, but the pics look amazing (like a little bit of Mexico right there in WDW) and it recieved good reviews here on the DIS, with some posters equating it to a deluxe.

I voted CS too. There doesn't seem to be a ton of interest in DVC so I will just rent my points!! WHOHOO!

 

[JennyMominRI]

I voted Coronado..The thing is it seems to book pretty quickly,and if we share we might want to consider the extra 10 dollars or so for the preferred building,and we wat to do some sort of booking before we lose our shot at it..My backup choice would be CBR

I honestly don't care where we stay. I'm a go with the flow kinda gal.

Amanda just posted that she saw CSR for $111 on AAA.com. That is better than they were offering for the leisure group.

I said no preference, but I'm equally interested in CBR and CS.

Yea, and I think Jenny said AP rates are usually lower than AAA rates. If we have enough of those...

The thing is,we can book with either rate and then change to the AP rate if/when it's released.

 

[Marseeya]

Maybe we need to sort out who's got what.

I have AAA.

 

[agotta]

I have AAA.

 

[JennyMominRI]

AP which means I can book 3 rooms.. I will also have the DDE which will discount up to 10 people 20% at most sit down meals

Just a heads up that I have a "Official Discussion Thread" for our trip here on the same board.

Alot of people are here on the DIS only still and so I think it's good to keep one going here for awhile anyways.

Great!!! Yeah if anyone hears of a better deal we will definitely check it out. Disney isn't always known for the best deal. And I have AAA.

Jenny I'm your meal date.

 

[JennyMominRI]

If there are a couple of us we should all be able to use it

 

[Alicnwondrln]

i voted for coronado as well
i would stay there in a heart beat
i also have a AAA membership Beth if we decide to book this way
let me know
I also know a local AAA person from these boards who seems great she could probably help us

 

[Alicnwondrln]

hey I wanna be jennys meal date LOL

 

[mom2boys]

Another go with the flow type here. That and which moderate isn't going make or break my decision to go.
I've stayed at CS and DL - would love to try a new place. But any place is good.

I voted for CSR-I've stayed there for one night. I think it has a deluxe feel to it and the rooms are a nice size. One thing to consider is the distance from the main building to the rooms-there's a huge lake to walk around. I think that you can get on a bus that will stop up front, but we just walked since we were only there for one night. The pool was great, to me comparable to the one at the Poly.

 

[SnowWhite33]

FYI- I wanted to add that I'm a AAA member and I'm considering getting an AP since I have another trip in Nov, if I get the AP I'm also getting the DDE.
