Should I switch CBR to CSR?

[britfish]

We have stayed at CBR the last three years, the last two doing a split stay with 2 nights at a deluxe. We love CBR, however this year we are doing a much shorter trip so I was thinking of trying a new resort to change it up a bit. What do you think, if we love CBR will we love CSR? DD is 8 and last year she didn't play in the kiddie pirate pool nearly as much as in years past so that draw is decreased.
BTW, we are not doing a split stay this year.

Have stayed at both resorts and hands down would pick CSR. CSR is a big spread out resort, but it is so quiet. A lot of people think it does not have "the disney feel" but we like that about it. We could have just spent a whole day exploring the resort. My 11 year old never wanted to leave the main pool and when telling others about the trip thats all he talks about is "the hotel and the awesome pool."

I think it's fun to stay at different resorts. So, yes I'd try it for a short stay. But my fav mod is POR

OP, I say go for CSR! Part of the fun for us has been staying at the different resorts. It gives a new feel to your vacation.
CSR is beautiful. You'll love it. It's large but not nearly as large as CBR which is also a very nice resort as you know.

I think it fun to try new resorts each trip. I've never been disappointed.

It sounds to me that you do like CBR - BUT - you really want to try CSR. If you don't try it on this trip, it will probably bother you until you do.

Follow what you feel. If you want something new, do it. We alternate between Pop & CBR for this same reason. You can become "tired" of the same resort each trip.

Whatever you decide, have a great trip!

I say try something new! All four of our visits to wdw we have stayed @ CBR and love it, but these next two trips we are trying something different. We loved staying @ the same hotel b/c we knew it was fun, clean and our dd loves the kiddie pool area, but its time to try something new!

Have Fun

Thanks for your input, I'm going to call tonight and switch to CSR!

I would in a heartbeat switch. To be honest, And I mean disrespect. I think I'd rather stay at pop over CBR.

Let it be known that both times I went to these were during Jersey weeks in Nov.

CSR- Resort Grounds: The theming here is really nice. All 3 areas are unique to its section and very well maintained. A nice walk around the whole resort is roughly 15-20 minutes or so.

POR- Resort Grounds: The theming here is also very nice. Just a little different. Southern feel. Both gorgeous grounds though. I'd say just a tad longer to walk around the grounds, but a pleasant stroll again.

CSR- Rooms: Stayed in Casitas 4 which had renovated rooms & was a perfect location. Queen Size beds too.

POR- Rooms: Stayed in Magnolia Mansions. Also Beautifully redone, w/ queen size beds as well.

CSR- Pool The main Pool is awesome. Really nice slide. Plenty of lifeguards on duty. Never Ever,ever crowded. I think the most amount of people there while we stayed was maybe 20. The quieter pools are very nice too.

POR- Pool: This Pool Is very nice as well. Slide is just a tad smaller than CSR but equally nice. the pool always had plenty of people around , but never felt like overcrowded. You always had plenty of chaise loungers to sit at. a lot more kids it seemed too. quieter pools were just that very quiet..

CSR- Food Court: aka. pepper market. I know not many people like the idea of being escorted to you seat, but literally u wait maybe 5 secs, honestly. Never is it packed, the market itself has a nice array of food too. A small gratuity ( maybe $5 ) should cover your server.

POR- Food Court: Although the food selections here are awesome, the way it's set up is like the values. And yes the seating area is bigger, It was always busy, no matter what time of day. Mornings are Chaotic though. Worse lines here than the darn parks...LoL

CSR- Bus Service: The best hands down: Although there are multiple stops, It seems most people grab it at the main one, to go to the parks. Never di we wait for more than 1 bus which were sooo frequent. NEVER did we have to come close to standing either, Going to the parks or returning..

POR- Bus Service: This one was just Eh. Imho. At least heading out to the parks in the morning. I think we waited for an extra bus 3 days going to parks. Coming back from DTD we waited for 3 buses, & forget coming back from Fantasmic. That was like 7 buses... But when we do return, the west stop ( i think) was very close to our mansion, which was nice.
Also POR, Has the Boat ride to DTD, which is a pleasant ride & convenient.

I didn't eat at either of the 2 TS restaurants here, but have heard very good things about both. Also POFQ is just a smaller version of POR, but the New Orleans theming & closer feel, just didn't do it for me. Also the pool is a lil on the kiddish side. CBR I'm just not a big fan of. Layout, Theming, buses. The pool is good though. If I want to get a tropical theme ,then I'll go to the islands, not here. Thats just my $.02. Sorry. Don't mean to offend all of the CBR lovers

My suggestion, ( although its a hard one ) would probably got to CSR. It's a convention hotel , so it's never too crowded.

Either one you pick I'm sure you won't be disappointed.. Have a fun time choosing and once again...Sorry for Rambling here. LoL
