Another gret update with lots of pictures! I love you trip reports. I hate that you had so much rain, but you semed to do well with it. After all it's still Disney right? Well, I'm still posting stuff on ebay trying to get enough money to come to Disney again this year, but I still need about $700. I don't think a yard sale would even come close. I'll just keep posting. I have a bunch of the girls costumes that they're outgrowing. When do you think is the best time to post them? Any ideas?
we will met up some time somewhere.

OMG!!! Stroller mom on the warpath!! Yeesh!!! It's kind of funny but scary at the same time! I guess people can really lose it!!

What do you sell on ebay., I've tried selling a few things here and there, and nothing seems to ever sell for me.

Tammy. great updates. I love Darth dancing. That is too funny. I can't beleive the rain. Wow. I hate rain like that.

[ladybugmom]

Great update! I can't wait to show Brent those SW videos!! He'll love that!! Sooo sorry about the crazy rain! I believe that's the night we flew home so we missed that storm. And OH MY WORD! I cannot believe you saw a mom punch another mom! What was she thinking?! YIKES! I would not have wanted my children to have seen that! That's INSANE!!

Just catching up. OMG, the stroller mom fight was hilarious....well, I'm sure it wasn't for real, but the way you described it made me laugh like mad! I've always wondered why people get crazed with the freaking strollers at Disney. I got slammed so hard in the back of the legs in May waiting for Illuminations. Maybe it was the freaking rain we had?? I totally agree with the way you described the blinding rain. It was amazing. In all my years of Disney visits, I have NEVER seen anything like the rain we had over Memorial Weekend!

[xoktenox]

Wowwww I can't believe the fight! In front of their children no less! It sounds like the stroller mom needed to get a beat down though LOL I can't believe the husbands didn't break them up before the cops had to be called! Jeez, thats nutso.

That food from foodcourt looks good, makin me hungry over here girl!

People get mean in crowds...especially wet crowds. The stupid woman knew better than to run over someones feet again and again. She kind of desrved to get knocked down but it sucks that little kids had to see that. I've never seen a fist fight at Disney. The one I saw on the monorail last Christmas was hilarious though. There would have been fists had the hubby not settled down the attitude.

Isn't it crazy? Definitely makes for a memorable vacation. Not necessarily a good memory... We still had a blast though. I totally agree...people can be over the top rude with an umbrella at WDW! I don't know how many times we were jabbed by them this past trip!

Sounds like a horrendous storm - I expect to be caught in at least one downpour every trip to WDW, but it usually passes quickly - not that time though!

I was in the truck with the kids. Sidney was walking behind this on the way back from getting the gun. I'm glad my kids didn't see it. That's ridiculous that people have to act like that. I hope they both got arrested and kicked out of the parks for good!

So wait a minute....we are going to be in WDW at the same time!? Where are you staying. I leave on the 22nd and stay through the 5th. PM me your number and all!

I know!!! Can you imagine the youtube hits!? He said it went on and on and the stroller woman was asking for it. The woman told her to stop nicely. She kept on. Then after a few times of SM just being a B the woman let her have it. I probably would have done the same at that point but I would have told Sidney to go forth with the kids. There's no need in that.

I didn't see it, Sidney did. The security was in it almost immediately. I feel sure they were taken to jail if the police took them down that street. I think it's funny that the womans hubby left her!

People are hateful! Simple as that.

Thanks girl! I used to sell on ebay years ago and made a ton of money. Now clothes auctions do horrible for me. I haven't listed that kind of stuff in years! The fees are too high, and I hate dealing with the PO mess. Costumes...I bought some new ones from the DS a while back. Brand new baby ones. I really need to sell them. I don't know...I'd say list them in mid to late September!?

Next year I'm bringing the real video camera to tape it! Good thing you missed that storm! It never let up and the one the following day...it stuck around for a good hour or two!

I didn't see the fight. Sidney saw them. I was in the car with the kids thank goodness. I have to say though...the woman who threw the punch...I'd be on her side. That stroller mom was being evil and Sidney said the other lady was nice to her the first few times and asked her to please stop. The crowds coming out....it was a mess. Imagine the monorail lines at the end of a busy night but add in a lightning storm with tons of rain. It was awful that night and everyone was trying to get out. There was nowhere else to go. For that woman to keep running over that lady and her little girl was plain mean. After a while I would have wanted to punch her too. I don't think I would in fear of being banned from WDW but I sure would have wanted to hit her!

Wasn't for real!? Sidney don't lie. I bet they both spent a night in jail! How do you explain that one to the kids? We'll miss extra magic hours tomorrow..we have to go get mom out of jail! That is why I try to stay away from the crowded areas and I'm either early out of the parks or the last one out of the parks! I think we've all been slammed into by a stroller a time or two. I've yet to throw a punch. I am guilty of giving some dirty looks though.

Agreed! I'm telling ya'll....this trip coming up...if I see anything of the sort I will pull out DD's camera and start recording. That will make for some funny laughs when we get back home! The funniest thing I've ever witnessed was the monorail fight with the woman in the wheelchair. It was like watching a comedy show. I'd pay to see that one again!

I just had pan seared salmon...mmmmmmmm.

May 24th...Our last full day at Disney! We added on this day at the last minute and none of the values were available. The cheapest thing we could get was Coronado Springs Resort. We knew they had changed things since we last stayed there and I was curious to see the new rooms so CSR it was! We booked a one night stay with quick service dining. We always do this. We book our trip then add a day at the beginning or end, no matter how long it is. We woke up, said our goodbyes to All Star Sports. Very cute rooms. I give them that. And our football section was really cute and close to parking, food, etc. I still hate that location and would never want to stay over there if I had to rely on the busses. However, if I were having to choose between one of the three All Stars I would avoid the Movies. The rooms there have not been redone (to my knowledge) and although you have cute curtains and neat bathroom decor the actual room is oogly! Two thumbs up on the decor of the ASSp and ASMu!!! If the pop rooms were that cute I'd be all set!


So anyway....we gather our goods while Sidney goes down and checks us into CSR. Did I mention our travel documents did not arrive before we left so no packet? Meaning we were missing our free 5 x 7 pic, free Planet Hollywood food, Free Mini golf etc. They tried to fix it all over at CSR but the fella only got us the free golf and free game card. Since he couldn't get us the rest he gave us $25 in cash back for the picture and PH vouchers. This made the dining plan $40 and the room was $98. Not bad for an extra day with food. Sidney came back and got us from ASSp....and we checked into our newly refurbished CSR room. We were in the building closest to the main check in area. The rooms were GORGEOUS! Those of you who have followed me this past year know I'm a little iffy about CSR. We had a bag stolen from inside of our truck a couple of years ago. So I had this feeling about the place...like it can't be trusted as soon as we pulled up. I unload what I had brought insde and started taking pictures of the new room.

The throw has Mickey's on it...the pillows do too! The bedding itself was so thick and plush. I've never seen anything like it at WDW before!



The bed....

















You have a LCD tv on a gorgeous piece of furniture...it has loads of room inside and it also houses your fridge! Your coffee pot sits upon this table as well.





Here you have a desk and a very comfortable chair and the lamp...it has Mickey on it!



See it? So cute!



This place actually looked BETTER than the bedrooms we toured that would be over at Bay Lake Tower!



Check out the nice doors that separate the bathroom and the bedroom!





Close up of Mickey throw...



You have so much room to hang your clothes! You only have one sink but it's a big one! It's very bright and absolutely gorgeous!







Continued in next post....

[OneTreeHillAddict]

At this point I was so excited to see the new shower toilet area! I open the door and what do I see!? THE SAME OLD STUFF AS BEFORE!!!! Come on Disney! Tile is not that expensive and it's so obvious that it's different from the room outside!!!

Blast from CSR's past and I suppose it's future since they skipped a refurb on the toilet/shower area! I am talking about the wall tiles here, not the floor. The floor of course is the same. It had to be. They do have a new curtain but to leave those ugly tiles from the old rooms around the tub....EW!

















Look how good the kids are being as we get settled in...





This is what they were watching...



Next we go to DTD! I know a bunch of ya'll are planning to stay at CSR. I hope these pics help ya see what to expect. The rooms are GORGEOUS! Honestly I think they are the best in all of WDW! (As far as decoration goes...) Everything goes so well together and the furniture is gorgeous!

[BigEeyore]

Those CSR rooms are beautifully done (other than that shower...hmmm). Your pics really capture the details!
On our upcoming trip - we also added another night at a different resort months after we booked the original trip! I'm hoping switching resorts doesn't turn out to be a bigger hassle than it's worth.

[joy13]

Those rooms are gorgeous!!! Of all the pictures I've seen of the resorts - these are my favorites so far.

[Goofy22]

Those Csr rooms are great! I love the Bedding! One of these days I'll be staying there! I actually booked this for this time and a month later switched back to POP! Just couldn't veer away from POP! But I will eventually!

[ladybugmom]

WOW!! The CSR rooms ARE nice!! I just love the brown and blue decor! Too bad that the shower tiles weren't updated as well.

[Sunset Cliffs]

I have to say first that the post you did about the two women fighting was one of the craziest I have ever read! I don't think I've ever seen a woman hit another woman in the FACE. Crazy!

Those rooms are gorgous. I love the color of blue that they used and the doors to the bathroom are cool.

Ya don't wanna meet up?

I am switching too. Had to CBR for the first night. I wanted Pop but it was full.

I think so too. They look better more "deluxe" than the deluxe resorts do!

I'm the same way Colleen. I'll book another resort and almost always end back up at my "home". We must be weird. Less than 2 weeks. OMG I have so much to get done!!!

Those colors look so good together. It really inspired me. I want to redo my bedroom now. I don't know why they'd skip the shower tiles..that's so weird.

I must have hung out in some wild places then...I've seen a lot of girls get in beat downs! Shoot, I've seen girls beat the hell out of guys before!

If CSR was closer to everything I'd like to stay there every time. They have a fantastci playground for kids over there and a wonderful pool with a really long waterslide! The grounds are gorgeous too!
