We got home Sunday evening and I just wanted to give a little plug for CSR Business Class. If any of you are trying to decide if it's worth it to upgrade from standard or preferred at CSR, it definitely is!! Business Class rooms are all in Cabanas 9B, so the location alone is worth it. Saturday I had dh drop me off at the check in area on our way back from AK. He drove on around to the parking lot for 9B. I went in, got our boarding passes printed and walked back to the room. He was just sitting down on the bed to watch tv when I walked in the room. He kept say, "I can't believe you're back this fast!"
Our room was very quiet. We didn't hear our neighbors at all. We were at Pop two years ago and that was DH's biggest complaint. He could hear everything our neighbors said. It was loud and lots of kids running up and down the in front of our room. We were at Pop Sept. 29-Oct. 2, so basically the same time of year, so no real difference in crowds.
The food in the lounge was great for breakfast---yogurt, granola, cereal, bagels, muffins, danish, fresh fruit with the biggest blackberries I've seen, juice, milk, coffee, espresso, tea, hot chocolate, and cans of coke, tea, etc. but you had to ask for them. In the evenings they had chips, salsa, hummus, several types of cheese, crackers, kettle chips, various fruits, and veggies with dips. The same can drinks were out and there was also beer, sangria, and some wines. We don't drink, so I'm not really sure what all types of alcohol was available, but I remember the ones I mentioned. We got drinks to take back to the room each morning and each evening, so we didn't have to buy any drinks in the parks. We just put them in our bags when we left for the park. I don't think you could make a meal off the evening offerings, but the morning offerings could definitely be used for breakfast and this is what we did. We had a working fridge in our room. I know several people have asked about the fridge situation.
This was just a long weekend trip to celebrate my birthday, so we didn't go to the pool or hot tub. We did go to the grab and go place and dh got gelato, but we really didn't use any of the resort food places. We also had a car and didn't use the buses so I can't comment on them either.
This was my second stay at CSR. Last time we were in Casitas (3 or 4, can't remember which) and I enjoyed it even more than last time!
