Sensing Pixie Dust I Am! A Star Wars Weekend PTR! New PTR Link pg. 77!

[Native NYer]

Yay for CSR!
I got to walk around CSR in November when I was there for the NCTE convention. It's such a beautiful resort.
Are you going to request a specific section? Or just see what you get when you check in?
It wasn't available with the new discount for Memorial Day weekend.

Do it.
Do it!
Do it!
Go, Star Wars Weekends!!!

I was a cheerleader at the Miss Anita Wigd School of Enabling.

(Picture the Saturday Night Live cheerleaders, because I was every bit as good as them. Those chess matches were wild! )

Snowpocalypse is the perfect description for what you got the day after Christmas if the pictures on the news are any indication!!! LOL!

Let me join MeMom in chanting that you should!!!

The snow is almost all gone thanks to warmer temps and the rain. I don't have to ski to work tomorrow.

There may be something in the works for Memorial Day weekend

I LOVE that Charles is really getting into Disney. That gives me hope for my husband. I've never been to CSR but it looks like a really pretty resort. And nachos were one of the selling points? Of course! Hello, yum! Sounds like a great plan to me!

 

[Poolrat]

The refurbed Queen beds and the deluxe amentities ( namely conditioner) at CSR really made me love the resort.

Pepper market on the DP is also great.

You can request a certain section. I have stayed in the cabanas ( old rooms) and casitas (new rooms). If you have the car and plan on driving, it does not matter much but the ranchos I have heard is pretty far from Pepper Market and just about everything else.

CSR is beautiful! We almost stayed there last time, but switched to POR and now DBF doesn't want to stay anywhere else-- Pepper Market played a huge role in wanting to stay there! I hear nothing but great reviews.

Four adults! Free dining certainly wins the award!

The rooms are lovely...and the beds heavenly.(I was going to insert a room picture, but I didn't have any. Friendly warning, because the beds are queens, the rooms feel tight. Well, ours did, but maybe because of the corner door entry?

As you know the resort is so lovely though!

May will be here before you know it. We know how fast time flies after Christmas break!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Your resort looks lovely, Jackie! I have always wanted to try CBR, but with DVC we always stay on points. I was just playing out of curiousity, but I can't see the free dining offered anywhere - how did you find it, or do you have to have an AP to get it?

 

[oOJulieOo]

CSR looks like a beautiful resort. And the nachos sound delicious.

Can't wait to hear about your adventures there!

 

[floridascgirl]

Those must be some yummy nachos!

 

[burly]

totally jumping on board with this one too! Love your trip reports. Sadly no WDW for me for a couple of years. 2012 is the year that my son graduates from high school, but he wants to see Cali. So my sis and i will take him on a tour, with the highlight being Disneyland and Cali Adventure. Hopefully all the new rides will be open! Then maybe just maybe we can convince our husbands that we need a sister or couples trip to WDW in 2013. ugh 3 years!!!!

See what happens gang when I dangle the prospect of new trip info in front of Jackie---it gets her to SPILL THE BEANS!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!

I am SO in love with your resort decision---you know how much we loved it there! I just know it is going to be a wonderful trip for you all!!!!

Okay.......since you did some spilling.....so will I..........

I did do LOTS of work on WDW plans yesterday for a trip this year.....nothing solidly booked yet, but will say that I will probably need to be asking you LOTS of questions and advice based upon your trip from last year. That's all I am saying for now.....more to come soon!!!

 

[manntra]

CSR looks like such a lovely resort......I love the refurbed rooms and the decor....the duvets, etc. How fun that Charles is getting into true Disney spirit with his Christmas gifts and suggesting a resort.....he has been officially pixie dusted!! Lets keep it that way!!!

My niece Brielle has a ring that matches your necklace and I have the earrings.....

Looking forward to seeing your dining choices.....you will LOVE the caramel shop in Germany. I may have been in there each time I went to Epcot in October...

I've never stayed at CSR so I'm excited to hear how you like it. We've only stayed at POR and POFQ.

 

[disneyfan61]

CSR sounds great!! Never stayed there but have read many TR's & everyone seems to love it there.

My family is in love with POFQ. They are having a refurb right now & putting in queen beds, flat screen tv's, new carpets, curtains & bedspreads..
It should be all done when we get there in May. Two of the 7 buildings are done.

Cannot wait to hear about your dining plans. We are eating at Chef's De France for lunch at 12:50 on the 28th (Hint Hint).

 

[mousescrapper]

Ok so I totally missed the start and here I am finally on what page 12 ok it's 11




this is why I love CP PTR's....all the good chatter...but I confess I just read the two posts...which as usual are wonderful!

how fun for you all to have that great WHITE Christmas and make those great little snowmen...all our white stuff has melted away w/ a quick one day warm up and now it's just blah out here, alas though unlike you in GA I know more SNOW is on the way in Chicagoland

JUST LOVE the necklace...did he get it at WDW? hmmm traveling to WDW w/out Matt....

and I agree I don't like to put away Christmas stuff either...I'm actually not "sick" of it yet.

2 thumbs up for your resort choice (if it stays that way) I completly enjoed our stay there in 2009.

we didn't have the best experience w/ SWW in 08...so I am looking forward to reading from the pro!

and hey DC...think July 2012

I think you guys will love CSR Jackie! The new queen sized beds are soooo comfortable, and a nice addition when you're a party of 4 - those doubles can get pretty tight! Mom & I were in the Ranchos section, building 7B - it was steps from the pool and pretty close to a bus stop. It was a bit of a walk over to Pepper Market though, but it did seem closer than the Cabanas room we stayed in previously. I thought Casitas was the prettiest section of the resort though, it's also closest to PM.

On another note, I talked to Don about possibly starting our vacation a day earlier so that we could get down to Orlando before you head for home. He was okay with it, I was shocked since that means we will be leaving home on Memorial Day and I know we'll have boys in baseball tournaments that weekend, but he was fine with them missing that day. Now their coaches probably won't like it, but I can live with that. I've got a question for you too, how early do you think we need to leave Atlanta to avoid the awful traffic, we'll be staying by Olympic Park.

Can't wait to hear about ADRs!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I think CSR would be so cool! I like the idea of the Pepper Market and the Queen beds!! How great that Charles is getting in on it now!

I would like to try all the resorts, but now with DVC, we will mostly be using points. I might get a one night stay on a weekend or something and be able to get to all the mods! DH is getting spoiled by the deluxes now.

You must have been able to book ADRs by now right? Do we get to hear about those soon???

 

[eandesmom]

What a wonderful white christmas! I love it You are a MUCH nicer mom than I am....we don't let them out of their rooms before 8am on Christmas.

I enjoy torture. I also enjoy boys who can make it through our VERY long christmas day lol!

Chelsea's jacket is adorable, very cute color. I have that same pattern, she'll love it, it's so cheery! Evan's big wish was for a North Face jacket as well, of course one he saw online that no one sells in the stores. The drama of the size at that age! I ordered the medium based on the size charts, sent it back to get a large. Which is a bit big on him to be sure but he doesn't seem to mind and loves it!

Charles did GOOD on the gifts, I love the tree skirt especially. It's fun once they "get" it, my Anniversary card had a suspiciously Disney castle0like design on it that that just made me smile.

CSR looks lovely and those new rooms are pretty! Fun fun fun!

CSR sounds great!! Never stayed there but have read many TR's & everyone seems to love it there.

That is good news. I hope they put thermostats ininstead of those under the window units that you have to leave on or either freeze or roast.
Then I would love POFQ, until then I will stick with POP that does have room thermostats. I am quite sure CSR has them too.

 

[SoonerGirl]

I am quite sure CSR has them too.

Yep, they do

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I loved the new rooms at CSR. We stayed there in Sept of 09. We were in the cabanas & the refurb was really great. The room had a microwave, fridge & coffemaker.

Our upcoming trip will be at CBR our second time there.
