I don't know if I'll ever stay at CSR as I live in the Southwest...we'll see. The renovated rooms look awesome.

Experience the Coronado at least once. Incentive to get up early is this...

The new rooms are awesome. Remember you do have 3 distinct sections to choose from.

There is nothing more exciting than finding an update to your Trip Report when I settle down for the night. Well okay, there are a few things that come to mind, but this is definitely appreciated tonight!
Your pics make me so excited about going back in June-seeing Disney through your eyes is so much fun. I feel bad about Typhoon Lagoon though, I remember looking at the unusually cold weather while you were away and worrying that you would not be getting any lazy river time!
Cherie mentioned in her TR that it was not only cold but windy. I am always there in the hot weather and often wondered why they sell so much hot coffee and cocoa, but that would be appreciated then.
You would love the food and wine festival in October-it is so yummy trying so many different kinds of foods and drinks. Have you ever gone then? I don't remember. I wonder what the one is like in California Adventure? If you get the Annual pass for both Florida and California you could try out the festival there. The empanada reminded me of this.
Thanks for the Trip reporting!

I have not been during food and wine.

I am getting the Premiere Passport in 2011..

I've gone during every season and continue to do so....I love each season for different reasons.

Oh well... Its three hours later here... I'm getting ready for bed!!

I will check in tomorrow!

Finished! I love the picture of Rosie sitting behind Dylan!

The retreat looked like a great time! I`m with everyone else about the comments. in 2010? just ignorant!

What a nice morning in Epcot. except for the poof on M.S. ewww...

Hmmm......perhaps late tonight. I am getting ready for Lost.

Lost was a good one tonight. It cracks me up though how they always answer a question with more questions. I can't wait to see how it all comes together in the finale.

Yeaaa on your retreat going so well, I love it when the Holy Spirit moves like that. Sorry about your glasses, I guess it's time to get new one's. Costco has great deals!

I'm happy to hear your next day in the "world," was (so far) a relaxing and pleasant day.

Sorry I haven't been around much, it was spring week last week (so both kids home and driving me a lil bit crazy) and this week I have my FIL from Cali. and my DH's great uncle visiting from Oregon. And well, I'll go ahead and confess my dark secret.....I'm a closet spring cleaner. There! I said it! It's out and I'm now a new woman!
I've been trying to get some things accomplished before we leave for our trip, when we get back I have guests coming for our sons graduation and of course not a lot of money (cause Disney took it all ) and not a lot of time, so I have to get stuff done now. I had carpet cleaners out yesterday, from the time I was up and out of bed I only sat down once that day for about 15 mins. and not in a comfy chair at that. I moved things around (the cleaners like most of the furniture out of the rooms when they clean the carpets) from one room to another, along with Mackenzie's help we did a great job, but needless to say with back issues I was one worn out and tired girl at the end of the day. Then I had to put everything back together and make dinner after going to get Mackenzie from ballet class at 7:00, company wasn't suppose to come until the next day. I finally sat down at 9 to finally eat. Crazy time to eat, but that's how it worked out.
This of course leads to not a lot of time on the boards.
Miss you all.

If I had to share a bed, I could not do a value or even a moderate. I would need a queen at least. Or I'd do what I always do, sleep on the floor.

Alone time is great as is family time...but completely different beasts....

I don't know if I'll ever stay at CSR as I live in the Southwest...we'll see. The renovated rooms look awesome.

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the pictures of CSR. Didn't appeal to me in the least. Then! I found out they just did a remodel, and they have queen beds, and less of the southwest look and more of a spa look (in the regular rooms). I love the ability to close the doors to the bathroom and sink area so as not to disturb the rest of the room while getting ready in the wee hours of the morning.
I also liked the fact they had different looking areas around the resort, some beach areas, and so forth. I recommend looking over on KatMark's thread to see the pics. Once I saw them I was convinced!
They have everything a deluxe resort has, including a gym. Just not the price, do I think the deluxe places are the same as here, no. But I also think that some of the deluxe resorts are probably equal to this resort....or vice versa...you know what I mean.

He works with the Art Galleries/Museums on campus.

Does he work at the Yale Peabody in New Haven? We absolutely love it there. They have quite the collection. Impressive for a small museum.

 

[hucifer]

Okay, so in a little over 2 hours--only one attraction. Was it a waste of a morning? Absolutely not. What a relaxing, different morning. So crazy just to walk around and not be running from ride to ride....

Totally agree. I had a day where it was all about walking around and enjoying the atmosphere, and I had the best time. It all depends on the day and the mood.

 

[__disneygirl]

Hi Jordan... just discovered your TR and obviously, I love it. I enjoy your sweaty asianness very much and look forward to reading much more!

I know waiting until 2012 seems long, and it is... I HATE two years in between Disney trips..but just think of that feeling when you finally arrive through those gates. Priceless.

Can't wait for more

Hello Peeps! I got back from Vegas early Mon morning, still trying to wake up and catch up - came back to a really full calendar. I'll be back later - not too many pages until then, K?

Sorry to hijack, but I finally found these additional pics of Dylan (you know, the ones I'm going to whip out for his girlfriends and wedding...).

Here he didn't know what he was getting into... Erin was just dressing him and he went along with it...



And here is the one he asked for himself...



He had this big ol' stye in his eye at the time... poor thing.

 

[that's nice]

ITA with all your statements!!!!!!! WE LOVED CSR!!!

We stayed at CSR last March in a renovated King room. It was awesome! I have pics in my 'character meal' TR. Also Kathy KatMark runs the CSR thread on the resorts boards and does a great job!

LOL You need to back these up and hide them in different places incase he ever finds them!!!

These are awesome!!

Wendy these are great.


I have some great ones of my oldest and only boy. My favorite is of him in my pink panties. He loved anything silky when he was little. It's a picture from behind and since there is a big difference in our sizes he has his arms through the leg holes too. It's from the 80's so not digital.
