Just back from CSR!!

Just returned from another great stay at CSR! The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't that bad. It was another awesome trip.

CSR has a new alarm clock. You can attach your mp3 player. Here are some pics.

Re: Just back from CSR!!

CSR, yeah, one of these days we'll stay there.
After all, all that's left for us is ASMo, CSR, SSR, and the Grand Floridian and I'm sure we'll stay at the GF the soonest of the 4 on my list.

Re: Just back from CSR!!

Loved all the pictures ~ glad you had a great time! Love the hidden mickey!

BTW, we stayed at the POP and I'm pretty sure we had the same alarm clock. Did is also play calming sounds like the ocean and birds chirping?

Re: Just back from CSR!!

Wow - great pics! DH and I are really interested in trying CSR soon.

Quick question - is there a curtain you can close to block off the sink area like at the Port Orleans resorts? TIA!

Yes, there is a curtain separating the sink area from the bed area.

Great job Buzz! We stayed there once and had
a fine time. The only thing I did not like was the
curtain. But thats all I will say about your home
away from home!

Re: Just back from CSR!!

Very cool! Sometimes I feel like Coronado ends up as the unsung hero of the Moderate resorts. It was always MY favorite moderate but you really do have to take the time to explore the resort & realize just how much fun it can be & really how MUCH it actually offers.

Thank you for the report & photos! Cool!
