Hi everyone! I am happy to announce that we will be returning to CSR this Nov for the second time! We had booked Poly but it is just too pricey for us this year! Loved everything about CSR last year except for the buses and having to pack a stroller. How are the buses this year? I figure we can use our AAA parking pass and just take our vehicle if the need arises. For now i am wishing for a discount code!:)
 
In reading the reports from guests that have recently returned, all is well with the buses. I've never had any bad experiences with them, they usually are less crowded due to conventions.

Have a great trip!!
 
This year we will be staying at CSR for the first time (thanks to the info from BUZZ). I have never heard of problems with the buses there. I'm curious, what did you experience?

Here is nursejilly's review of what she experienced last November.

We stayed at CSR 11/19-11/25. We had 3 rooms requested in cabanas 9B through AAA. When we arrived at about 8am they had put is in 3 rooms in 3 separate buildings!! Needless to say we complained and the CM found us 3 rooms together (2 connecting, 1 adjoining) in Cabanas 8A.We didn't get room numbers til about 2pm. We had rooms 8228, 8229, and 8230 with a great lake view and close to bus stop 4. I thought the rooms were great! they were clean, quiet and we slept like the dead (maybe this was from being at the parks all day and wearing ourselves slap out!) The beds were comfortable and the pillows were nice and fluffy. It sure was nice to have the refrigerator for kids milk etc. The pepper market was okay. I thought the breakfast was the best meal we had there. I thought mouse keeping did a good job and we got some cute towel animals! We did use the laundry facilities and found it not crowded at all. The buses to and from MK and AK were very crowded at times!! I didn't find this to be as true for the Epcot and MGM buses. It was not fun at all to get on a crowded bus with a stroller, diaper bag, and tired 2 yr old DD. I really missed the monorail resorts when we had to stand with all our gear for the bus rides! We even took our car to the parks a few times. We had a AAA parking pass that got us some pretty close parking spots at every park but MK. I would stay at CSR again however i can see how some people justify the extra $$ to stay on the monorail, especially at holiday time. Overall CSR was a treat!!

We just switched to stay at CSR for November too!!! We'll be there the week before Thanksgiving (Nov 15-21)!!! When are yall going? Maybe we'll see ya around! We enjoyed our last stay at CSR too!!!!
 
Hi Buzz and Magic2000! Magic we will also be there 11-15 to 11-21! Isn't that a hoot and i am also a Louisiana girl. I am glad to hear that the buses are running smoothly. I want my DH to have a great first trip to the World! I was looking at the CSR map and now i am wondering if we actually stayed in building 8B last year?? All i know is they were great rooms with a beautiful view. I haven't put in a building request yet. We'll see if a discount code comes out. :goodvibes

We'll be arriving on Thanksgiving Day, so we'll miss each other. Have a great trip!!!
 
There seems to be a few people going around the same time I am! I'll be there Nov 15-19. Only 98 days to go! :cool1:
 
Last year we arrived the sunday before thanksgiving and left the day after. This time i am going to pull DD age 11 out of school for 2 days so maybe we will have a few days of less crowds. I am such a bad mom:rolleyes1 I may have to change one of our ADRs because it is at 8:05am at the Poly. I am thinking of a character breakfast at MK?? Not sure yet. I hope everyone has a great trip!:wizard:
 
I was at CSR in June. Lucky to go to a convention that ended at 1pm each day so brought the family along. Buses were great except the bus to DDT. Was bad every time and heard others complaining as well. Did not come often and also seemed packed.

Had a great trip. We loved it.
 
Just back from CSR on July 22.

Every time we needed a bus it pulled right up as we arrived at bus stop 3 (our stop). The buses were not over crowded AT ALL except for at night when EVERYONE comes home from the parks at closing or at the end of EMH. Those rides were not as fun. But all in all it was a wonderful, pleasant and smooth experience!
