...and we really enjoyed our stay at CSR. We didn't make any room requests before going (we paid for standard view) and our flight didn't arrive until after midnight so we were expecting to get the worst rooms but we got a nice lake view room in the Casitas 5 building and it was perfect for our purposes. Distance-wise, it was about halfway between the Dig Site and El Centro.....and best of all for us, it was near Bus Stop 2, which was the first stop for most of the busses (except the Downtown Disney ones) Our first day there was Thanksgiving Day and for the first two days, the busses we got on in the morning were packed before it got to the last stop so it was great being at the first stop and always getting seats, especially since we were traveling with young children and strollers. And we were the first ones dropped off at night, which was great for sleepy children and tired parents.
For those of you on the dining plan, you can use your snack credits to get big bottles of milk and water in the gift shop Panchitos. Don't get them at the convenience store La Tienda because you'll just get the single serving sizes (only the gift shop has the large sizes)
There are only two things that I sort-of have a complaint with:
The first is with the Pepper Market. The meals I got weren't that tasty (maybe I just made bad choices) and the servers and cashiers weren't very consistent in what constituted a dining plan counter service meal. For example, my friend got her DD5 a chicken tenders kids meal one day and it consisted of a 3 chicken tenders, one small cookie and a small drink. On another day, I got the same kids meal for my DD4 and the meal had 5 chicken tenders, 2 small cookies and a small drink. Then when I got to the register, the cashier told me that I could get another drink and dessert for my DD because the cookies and small drink were considered part of the kids meal. So for the same kids meal credit, we got more chicken, 1 extra cookie, 1 small drink, 1 adult-size drink and an adult-size dessert. I'm not complaining about the extra food but it seems as though they should be more consistent.
The second complaint is that our room was cleaned too late in the day. There were two days that we were in our room in the afternoon to allow the girls to take a nap. The first day, housekeeping showed up while we were eating a very late lunch (around 2-3pm) Another day, my friend was trying to get her DD down for her nap around 3:30pm and housekeeping showed up close to 4pm. I ended up taking my DD out to the hammock and eventually in her stroller to get her to nap so that we wouldn't be interrupted by housekeeping but it was inconvenient having to avoid our room so that housekeeping could do their work.
Other than these inconveniences, I really enjoyed staying at CSR. It was nice, quiet relaxing atmosphere. Maybe it wasn't as "Disney-fied" as some of the other resort but that was fine for us.
