Where are you guys seeing the new rooms?
Cabanas is nice. A short walk to the Dig Site pool and to El Centro. Plus the pretty beach out front, and nifty hammocks on the beach. We stay preferred in Casitas, but we love to take romantic strolls over to Cabanas at night and sit on a bench by the beach under the stars. You'll love it!
Thank you! I'm sure my husband picked it only based on it's proximity to the pool <and pool bar! > So we definitely like hearing about what everyone likes about the other areas!
Just wanted to chime in that we are staying at CSR for the first time in April - and thanks to this thread, I'm really excited. We are going at a tough time - Easter week - but my son will be performing with his HS Orchestra so I couldn't miss it. Though it's been <gulp> 11 years since we've been, at first I wanted to avoid the crowds totally - we were going to stay in Disney Springs at the Hilton Orlando BVP and do limited parks. But when I went to make dining reservations today, the pricing info that I had originally been playing around with popped up and I realized CSR was the same price as the Hilton. And just like that - we switched. I've definitely been one that has heard the "it's too big, it's far from everything" reviews but reading this thread, watching some videos....I think it might be the perfect resort for us. We arrive Sunday 4/9 and leave 4/14 <quick trip!> Of course I'm a little concerned about the refurbishments going on but not overly so. I believe my husband requested the Cabanas area. One thing I didn't realize, though, is that there are no balconies <slight bummer> so I'm wondering why we are paying for a waterview...?
Regardless, now I have 3 months to bring myself up to speed on this resort! I've known about this trip for months but I guess thinking we'd be staying offsite had me dragging my feet in planning - one phone call and I'm so excited to get going!

I'm a long time 'reader' to DisBoards but I have a question that I can't seem to find a clear answer on. What type of coffee makers are in the preferred rooms? We have 7 coffee addicts so I have a feeling that whatever is provided in room will run out quick. Thanks!!!
I think the coffee pots are the same in all the rooms, they are the pod kind. It looks like they are switching over to the Keurigs for the renovations. You can ask for more any time you want it.
