Hello Mario!

You are such a positive person all over these boards! We could all take a lesson from you on how to respond to other opinions and ideas in a thoughtful and non-aggressive manner! I have yet to see anything but positive remarks from you- wow!

My questions are:
1. The workout center- is it free for guests? And- what equipment is offered? My 17 year old DS and friends need to workout while on vacation- or they will face the wrath of their intense soccer coach when we return! They can do their running outside- but are there free weights? Also- I could use an elliptical machine to work off some of the DDP meals!

2. Somewhere- I remember seeing a picture of a roll-away bed in a CSR standard room- one with double beds. I'm thinking of adding one to my DS's room- since there will be 3 teenaged boys in that room. Could you show that picutre again?

And- I've already paid for my package- can I still add that rollaway? Should I do it now- or wait until we check-in. We have a late flight- coming into Orlando at 9:30.

Thanks again! Pam

Your DS can run on the sidewalk around the resort. It's just about a mile. The gym has a mixture of free weights and machines. Pictures are below.

2. Somewhere- I remember seeing a picture of a roll-away bed in a CSR standard room- one with double beds. I'm thinking of adding one to my DS's room- since there will be 3 teenaged boys in that room. Could you show that picutre again? sure

And- I've already paid for my package- can I still add that roll-a-way? Should I do it now- or wait until we check-in. We have a late flight- coming into Orlando at 9:30. someone else posted this question and I think she tried to add put they were told there were first come, first serve. I got mine at check-in.

Thank you so much for the advice and photos!

That workout room looks GREAT! Better than I expected!

I guess we'll take our chances with the rollaway. Our plane comes in at 9:30 on a Saturday night- so we may be out of luck. I suppose we can put our name down to get one whenever one is available.

Thanks for the assistance! Pam

Mario-
Could you please explain what Deluxe service/ reservations are? I have not heard of this before. Is this worth the money? Is it like concierge at a deluxe resort only at a Moderate? We are planning to stay @ CSR in September, and hoping to get our room in 8A or 7B. Are they both compareable?
TIA

Do any regular rooms in CSR have 2 sinks?!

Not sure what you mean by deluxe service?

I am starting a gardengrocer order- would a CSR fridge in a standard room be able to hold a gallon of milk- with extra room to spare? We are big "drinkers"- not the alcohol- just need lots of milk and Gatorade!

Thanks! Pam

I had no problems keeping a gallon of milk in the mini-fridge in my room. There was still plenty of room to spare, so if you want to keep chilled cans of pop (or chilled bottles of Gatorade), you can also do so. I too am a big milk drinker, as there was just me and lots of milk at my disposal!

Have a great trip!

It will hold a gallon but half gallons fit nicely in the door leaving the interior for other items.

 

[Patches]

I just changed my order from gallons to half gallons!

Mario- have you used GardenGrocer before? Or anyone else for that matter? We are landing at 9:30 pm- will my cold things in my order still be cold?

I would think about delivery on Sunday- but we are planning to be at the parks all day that day- until late also.

I usually do my own grocery stop on the way from the airport but I have read that CSR has a cold storage facility to store items order from these type of places.

I just wanted to say Thank You again for all the information and photos you share!! I have read negative reviews..elsewhere...not sure if they really did stay at CSR!!! While I realize CSR is spread out, so to say, I am just a bit concerned about my mom who will be 70 when we go. I love to walk...we will have a stroller for the little one. Do you think my changes are good if I request a cabana closest to everything? Should I play the "senior citizen" card while making my ressie? We are getting connecting rooms.

I am just so happy I was able to find out somuch about CSR!! It is greatly appreciated, you have done a wonderful thing for families and future guests trying to find the "right" place without breaking the bank!!

disneybride03, you're a breath of fresh air. I wish everyone approach resort planning like you. Not just for CSR but for all resorts. Some of the reviews I've read I wonder the same thing, did they really stay there. But that's what is great about WDW, there is a least one resort for everyone to like. Have a great trip!!

Well, after 26 years of wanting to go back to WDW ... we're GOING!! It's official, I put a deposit on a package trip last night for 7 nights at Coronado Springs (Oct 3-10). I can't begin to tell you just how excited I am about this and how much I love my husband for suggesting this for our 25th anniversay trip. This will be our first real holiday in 10 years and only our second 'alone' trip ever. Anyway, the point of all this sappiness is to thank you Mario for putting all this information together and help us make the decision on which resort will suit us best. We got an amazing price on everything (resort/passes/dining plan) with that 40% coupon Disney mailed me and I am just so darn happy... this smile is permanent I think

So thank you Mario, you're awesome
