Need to know about CR

[mom2dea]

OK everyone we just upgraded from All star music to CR wing .

Can you tell me was 550.00 wroth the upgrade ?

If after the 45 day mark they have the tower avil can we upgrade to it and pay that day ?

Is this a good resort with 3 kids (6 yr old , 2 1/2 yr old and 9 monthes at time of stay )

Anyone not like the wing part of CR ?

Anything you want to share ? thanks

The best part will be if you spend the majority of your time at MK or EPCOT no folding up the stroller. That to me was well worth it, the buses are ok but with 2 little ones it will be hard. Have fun!!

My kids loved the CR at ages 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. The older one thought the monorail was really cool. It was wonderful to be able to walk over to MK and monorail it to Epcot. We stayed in the North Wing and thought it was fabulous. It's closer to MK and not far from the food court/arcade (there's a seperate door to the food court that's right across from the North Wing). We had a ground floor with a patio. I would highly recommend that. My kids had a great time playing out on the little beach area. Don't forget to make a PS for Chef Mickey's!

You will enjoy staying there, especially with the monorail being so handy. My only suggestion is that if you stay in the wings, ask to be closer to the main building. The wings are very large and if you are in a far part of them, walks to the main building to catch the monorail can be long. Probably not something you would want to do with little ones....the hallways are pretty boring!

We always stayed in the CR wings and loved them. Rooms are the same size and decor. And it is quiet.....great for naps for kids and adults! One of the wings is close to a play area and sandbox. When we stayed on the first floor, we used to feed the ducks waddling up from Bay Lake.

WE stayed in both the north wing (disliked it very much, would have rather stayed in Motel 6 honestly) and the Tower. IMHO I would say definitely upgrade to tower! If you have already upgraded to the hotel, spend the extra $$ and get the tower. We stayed with a bay view and it was spectacular! At night we would go on the other side and watch the fireworks. I would always request a bay view..see pics below. Also, request a room 5th floor or higher and one close to elevator. You can make requests right away and when you get there. The wings were so far from the main bldg. we would use the vending machine ($3 for a soda or water) rather than walk the 8 mins to get to food court. Rooms are just not the same in wing feels like a motel. Anyway, good luck!

Our views were from the 7th floor.
