We had a last minute change and will be staying there on Friday before our Cruise and I was wondering when i check in what I should request for a room?

I never stayed at CS before and I only have 4 days to prepare?

Thanks

Amy, we're staying there for the second part of our May/June trip. We've never stayed there before, so I studied the map in Passporter and read the reviews on Deb's site. Since DH will be "working" I requested Casitas bldg 3 or Cabana's bldg 9b.
Let me know where you ended up and enjoy your cruise. Our Magic cruises have been some of our best vacations!
See you soon!

I loved staying there in December 2004. Even if you are on the "other side" of the resoert, they have golf carts going around the lake acting as shuttles to the main building.

This resort was one of my favorite Moderates.

We stayed at CSR in December and loved it. We faxed a poem prior to our arrival requesting building 9 in Cabanas to be close to Dig Site, El Centro and bus stop. Instead, room assigner gave us building 8A which was even closer to all of these. It was a perfect location, IMHO. Be sure to make time to explore the grounds. It's a beautiful place!

We just did a stay there in March, it was our first stay at a moderate, we've always stayed in deluxes. I really liked the CSR. I thought the grounds were beautiful and that more than made up for the lack of a balcony. Walking around the resort is a wonderful experience, especially at night. We reserved a standard room, but looked out on a courtyard with a fountain in Building 3 of the Casitas.

I requested Casitas becuase I wanted to be close to El Centro and we were not planning on using the pool as it was a short trip. I faxed down my request-that we not be on the first floor and that we be in a high traffic area (I was alone with DD) and we got a wonderful room.

The only down side to the CSR was that on Saturday night, the Peppermarket was packed. I'd never seen a counter service restaurant so crowded and the Peppermarket was not your usual counter service.

The busses went around all the CSR areas and I don't think any place is really a bad place-they all have their positives.

CSR is one of our favorite resorts! We have stayed in the Cabanas and the Ranchos. We loved both of them! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/love.gif[/img] Although the Ranchos were further from El Centro, we absolutely loved the walk. It was quiet and serene, and beautifully landscaped. Make sure you get out to see the lake at night, it is reflecting, and spectacular. I know you take fabulous pictures [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/Flash.gif[/img] make sure you take your camera!

The Pepper Market can definitely get packed, but it is a unique experience. I love all the choices. I had something a little spicier, while DH (less exotic taste than me) went for more traditional foods. We only ate breakfast and lunch there, never did dinner. We love Maya grill, they have a nice breakfast buffet and we have had 2 dinners there. I heard the menu has changed since last time we were there, though.

If you have some time, the pool is great, as is the hot tub. We also had a drink one night in Franscisco's (margaritas, what else? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] ) which was fun. One morning, we got breakfast to go and sat outside by the dock. The birds are so friendly they eat right out of your hand, and one was eyeing up DH's croissant like "You aren't really going to eat that, are you?"

The resort provides golf carts for transporting your luggage to your room, that is a help if you are out further.

Despite this being a convention center (one of our stays DH actually was on a convention there) we never felt that the resort had a "business like" feel to it. Oh, and they have a pretty cool gift shop, too.

This resort was the first ever that we stayed at on property, so it holds a very special place in our heart. I think you made a really great choice! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks! Since I only booked it 4 days out the only thing i asked for was non smoking due to allergies. I will be happy as long as we had a place to stay but i'm excited to try CSR out!

I will let all of you know when i get back where i ended up and my thoughts!

2 more days and counting!

We stayed in Casitas 5 in 1998... it was close to the theme pool, but a long walk to the Pepper Market. We were able to see the construction of Rock-N-Roller Coaster going on at MGM.
