The *NEW* Coronado Springs FAQ Thread (Part II)

[shellbel]

We are planning a trip for mid November or beginning of December. Just waiting to see what deals com out.

We are trying to decide between CSR and CBR. I'm wondering, if you've stayed at both, which you prefer, and why.

CSR has a better pool, smaller resort and awesome food choices.

 

[shellbel]

You had me at food!

I've read about problems with rooms being dirty over at CBR. Any problems at CSR?

 

[FBandA]

I have stayed at CBR and CSR and have never had a problem with rooms being dirty.

After reading through many threads and Buzz's awesome website we've decided CSR from 11/28 - 12/5 is our next trip!! The best part is we'll be there for DS's 5th birthday.

I was won over. CSR in 2009 it is.

When i've stayed at the ASMO resort they have had a 28oz glass for beer at the pool bar which has cost a bit but the refils have been cheaper.Do they do these at CSR?

Hi All,
Great thread, lots of info....
This will be my first stay 9/20-9/23... Can't wait.....

We will be arriving in the late afternoon. How long does it take to get to CSR on ME... ? Trying to plan for our first day....
Of course I realize it will depend on how many hotel drop off their have.
Thanks

i have a question about the hair salon there.... im thinking about going and just getting a styling.. no cut or perm or anything... before my california grill reservation. but i'm not 100% sure... depends how long we are at the park beforehand.

question is.. is it necessary to make an appointment?? it would be a friday afternoon. i dont know if this is something i should make a commitment to before i go. thanks!

Going to CSR June 21-25. I have a picky question. Do you know if the resort/ theme parks serve Coke, Pepsi, ??

 

[megnsamsgracie]

Hi Everyone! My boyfriend and I just returned from Coronado Springs on Saturday! We had such an amazing stay. Our room was in Casitas 2 which was really close to the health club (where you could find my boyfriend every morning at 6 AM lol), the quiet pool, Bus Stop #2 (first pick up and first drop off bus stop), and not a far walk from the Pepper Market and Main Lobby! We landed in Orlando around 9:30 and were at Coronado by 10:45, 11:00. We checked in early with no problem and headed right off to the parks which was great! The only problem we had during our stay was our refrigerator wasn't working properly and house keeping was great and replaced it no problem! These grounds are unblievable! I have so many pictures and will try to get them up and running asap! You will without a doubt love this resort if you are staying here! The food at pepper market is really great too! We had the ceasar wrap, ceasar salad, chicken pasta dish, pizza, and fresh fruit while there and all was great quality and HUGE portions!!!!! Unfortunately this was our last stay at CSR. We just became DVC members this past weekend! Hope everyone enjoys their upcoming vacations at CSR!

I'm not sure about this. Usually drinking the margaritas.

Buzz2001, someone told me to ask you this question.

What is going on for construction at CSR, how is it impacting guests?
We're going to be there June 24th-June 29th.

Thanks for your help. I love all the information you give on CSR. This is our first time staying at this resort and we're really looking forward to it.
