welovedis-Trip Report 7/16-Arrival-CSR is Great!

[welovedis]

Quick background of the people involved on this trip:
Karen, 33, 4th trip to WDW since 2000
Tom, 37, 4th trip to WDW since 2000
Jacob, 6 1/2, 3rd trip since 2000-yeah I know we went without him!

We arrived at CSR around 8pm on Wednesday the 16th after taking a NS flight from Rochester, Ny to MCO. Rental car thru priceline was cheap and we got lucky with a PT Cruiser for about $22/23/day-yeah!

We were really impressed with the resort as soon as we arrived and check-in at that time of day couldn't have been easier. The front desk CM had a nice surprise for us--we were upgraded to a Junior Suite since the resort was pretty full & no more standard rooms were left. Great way to start things off!

Our room was 1482, in Casitas 1, 4th floor, right next to one of the really large suites. The resort was hosting a large Servicemaster convention while we were there & we found everyone we met to be really friendly.

A quick late dinner at the Pepper Market, which was really good, and off to bed before a fun day tomorrow!

Sounds like a great start..... Is this the first time you have stayed at CSR?

 

[welovedis]

Yes, thanks it was the first time we stayed there and really enjoyed the resort. I like the look of the casitas and would hope to stay in that section again.

What was the junior suite like?

 

[welovedis]

The Jr. Suite was essentially 2 connecting rooms-but each set up a little differently. Both of the vanity and bathrooms areas were the same and each had a wall safe. The one room had a Murphy bed that folded up into the wall-I think it was a double, might have been a queen? That room also had 2 wicker chairs with a cushion, an entertainment armoire that did not have any drawers, but did have shelves in it. The room also had a desk/chair and a fax machine, TV & phone.

The other room was a regular king bed room with a table & 2 chairs for dining, and entertainment armoire, 2 bedside tables and a phone & TV. Both rooms had ceiling fans.

The extra space was great! I do have some pics I took with my digital camera, once I figure out how to get them uploaded, I'll post some links here!
HTH!
