New improved CBR or Fully renovated CSR ?

[pooh2001]

CBR - getting the Skyliner, new DVC, new Table Service restaurant, new food court area, maybe still buses to the parks ?

CSR - getting a new high rise DVC ?, large pool, nice places to eat

Which would you stay at?

CSR is a better resort, IMO.

CSR - the new tower will not be DVC - it will have standard rooms, suites and club-Level access, new rooftop restaurant. Also will have new walk up service restaurant on the lake. We love the central location.

Glad you asked, I wanted to ask the same

IMO CSR wins. We were trying to decide between the two for our trip in September. CBR while “refurbished” still has the old style beds with box springs (harder to check room for bed bugs) and carpet as well as just an outdated feel. CSR rooms are gorgeous and brand new and you have a couple of new restaurants opening this July. We were surprised they overhauled the whole resort (CBR)and didn’t update the rooms A big mistake IMHO.

CBR does not have a DVC. Riviera is not related at all to CBR, it just happens to have been built on prior CBR land.

For me, it would be CSR - especially when the over the water restaurant is complete. The resort was always very pretty but not it just seems so luxurious.

CSR it will be - thank you !

I would choose CSR as well. We love this resort. Wish they had affordable rooms for a family of 5.

This is a good question. We've been looking again. And I am looking pretty hard at some of these moderates. My husband would rather just stay at the Contemporary again, but I feel like looking around a bit. I love to the look of the rooms at CSR. But I am not sure about the grounds there. The Mexican theme doesn't really do it for me. The colors at CBR are really beautiful but their rooms... I think the CSR kills CBR in that category. I don't think either beats the grounds at Riverside though...how beautiful their grounds are. I'll be interested to see their rooms after their soft goods refurbishment.

I'm wondering with the added tower rooms and no new additional pool if the pools will be overcrowded now at CSR.

See whose rooms?

See whose rooms?

Port Orleans Riverside.

 

[nkereina]

When are you going? The new tower and amenities at CSR open in July. I'd want to see reports of it before I stay there. If reports are good, that would my choice.

Some photos of the new rooms. I stayed in the AB last summer and overall, I like the look of the refurbishment...except I'm not so sure about the turquoise trim? It doesn't seem to go with the theme.

Port Orleans Riverside.

Oh meaning some of them are getting a rehab? Isn't it the Mansions getting a rehab?

Port Orleans Riverside is currently going through a room refurb.

Isn't it the Mansions getting a rehab?

Yes, the entire resort is. Both sections.
