As far as the renovated rooms go, when should I request a refurbished room? Should I do it now or when I arrive in May? And no worries, I know that the request is just a request, not a gurantee. Thanks!!

I would wait until you get there. I'd put in a request now if you want a specific section of the resort, but then wait until you get there, and with a smile on your face, ask if possible to get a rehabbed room. By May they will seven months into it (it's scheduled to be done by October 09) so your chances will be a little better. We've not seen them yet, and can't wait to see them in person in September.

Hi everyone! We are going to CSR for our 2nd stay at this particular resort (Nov. 2009). When we booked about 3 months ago, they told us that they did not have club level rooms. We called back about 2 weeks later to ask another person and they told us the same thing - "no club level."

But, I know I just saw about a dozen pages back that Buzz stayed at club level - right?! Or am I just seriously "wishful thinking"!?

I've got 2 rooms booked and would love to upgrade - but do I waste time calling again??

Buzz - the pictures you posted of the newly renovated rooms look terrific. I am looking forward to our next trip.

I will answer on behalf of Buzz. After a trial run, they decided that it was not worth the money to have Club Level for regular resort guests. They could not justify the cost. Therefore, Club Level is only available to convention guests.

HOWEVER, if there is no convention happening at the CSR, guests can be put into Cabana 9B--they just don't get the Club Level privileges.

I stayed in building 9B in January however, we did not have access to the Club Level Lounge.

Can anyone answer for me, where are the Bus Stops located at each park for CSR? We have stayed at CBR and found that their bus stops seem to be the furthest away from all the rest. I didn't really understand how the stops are laid out, but just curious about CBRs. Thanks in advance.

Here are the Bus Stops at CSR:

BUSES
Theme park bus stops go in this order:
The bus stops are:
Bus Stop 2: Casitas
Bus Stop 3: Ranchos
Bus Stop 4: Ranchos and Cabanas
Bus Stop 1: El Centro

DtD and Exit buses
The bus stops are:
Bus Stop 1: El Centro
Bus Stop 2: Casitas
Bus Stop 3: Ranchos
Bus Stop 4: Ranchos and Cabanas

They go in this order to assist guests in getting to the main building and back to their village.

Here is the estimated amount of time to get to each of the parks once leaving the CSR:

Hollywood Studios - Bus Stop 6 (1st stop) - 6 min ride once leaving resort
AK - Bus Stop 8 (middle) - 6 min ride once leaving resort
MK - Bus Stop 10 (1st) - 10 min ride once leaving resort
Epcot - Bus Stop 7 (2nd) - 7 min ride once leaving resort
BB - Bus Stop 6 (middle) - 3 min ride once leaving resort

Thanks KatMark, your posts have been a wealth of information and I really appreciate it!!!

I know information has been posted about internet access before, but I am a little slow sometimes

Dh wants me to take my laptop, what is the difference between getting internet in your room or going to the common areas? Will I still need to buy a wireless card even though my laptop already has that? I take it that even in the common areas you still have to pay for it?

I hope this made some sense

I know that if you have wireless capabilities on yuor computer you don't need a seperate wireless card, but I am not sure wether they charge for the common areas.

The Internet Access in the rooms at CSR is High Speed via a cable. It costs $9.99 for 24 continuous hours. So If you buy the access at 11pm on Day 1 of your vacation, you will have access until 11pm of Day 2 etc...

The Internet Access in the Convention Centre, the Dig Site Pool, El Centro Lobby and I *believe* the Pepper Market/Rix is Wi-Fi and the cost is the same $9.99 for 24 continuous hours.

I've always used the High Speed Internet in the rooms. Typically I'm in my room from 2pm till 3pm and from 10pm till 12am so I try to charge the internet accordingly. Usually I'll buy it very late my first night and continue from there.

I never knew the times as we always rent a car. But I know a lot of people don't and that the information would probably be helpful for those who wanted to have an idea of what time to leave in the morning, etc.

jaycns · 03-02-2009, 09:34 PM

Is there any area at the CSR from which any of the WDW fireworks are visable? If so, where? Thanks in advance!

TinkerBelle_325 · 03-02-2009, 09:38 PM

The very top of Illuminations and a few of the big fireworks from Wishes are viewble from the 4th floor of Casitas 1, near the convention center entrance.

KatMark · 03-02-2009, 09:44 PM

We also saw some of them from the top floor of Casitas 5.
