I only reposted them because I didn't know you merged them...I just thought they were gone. You didn't PM me until after the repost and I didn't read your post in this thread until after I reposted the threads. It would help to notify people first so they are aware of what's happening.

Plus, I don't see the big deal with three posts on different topics of CSR. It's not like the board moves pages a day but whatever, you're the mod.

Guys, there will now be club level at CSR. It's true!! One more reason why I love this resort. Cast member said that the booking category is standard room with club level access. I asked if this standard room was in any "special" location and where the lounge would be. The CM checked (while I was on hold) and said that it cannot be booked until January 1 but that the groundwork is already set in motion. She says that the reason for the category is because the clients requested it and it is a convention center. Per CM, there will be the same offerings in the lounge as in the deluxe lounge. This resort is already head and shoulders above the other moderates with room service, spa and beautiful deluxe pool. For now, I consider this the best kept resort secret.

2009 rates are up at mousesavers and no increase in the room rate!!

I feel the same way, we LOVE CSR and are so sad not to be staying there next week!

Most all of Walt Disney World resorts are going through major upgrades and updates. GF has just finished and Caribbean Beach is in the middle of some very fun and exciting changes (pirate themed rooms with “Black Pearl” décor). Coronado Springs is next. They will be replacing the double beds with queens and new furniture to suit modern tastes; but still in theme. Another 100 rooms will get upgraded to king beds. One building (not Casitas 1) will be transformed into a “Business class” club level building with rooms described below. The décor is still being tweaked, so cast members still have not seen the prototypes; but construction will start next month. The aim is to provide a level of experience that is equal or better to most upper end resorts outside of Disney. For instance, all of the rooms now are getting modern flat screen TV’s. Tables are being replaced with desks so that floor space is preserved after putting in larger beds. Most of these updates are done with great stealth, so visiting guests will not be aware that changes are happening. New rooms will just magically appear and some buildings simply won’t be available for a short period. Walt Disney World, as you would expect, is getting itself set to continue to be the best vacation destination in the world. Some accommodations are getting a little out of date, so Disney is moving up to the future.

Business Club Level services include personalized Front Desk and Guest Services, turndown service and a lounge with continental breakfast, midday snacks and evening wine (additional fee) and cheese. All Business Club Level Rooms have two queen-size beds or one king-size bed, desk and chair, vanity area with sink, a ceiling fan and a bathroom. All rooms are non-smoking. Amenities include DVD player, in-room wall safe, voice mail, data port, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, mini-fridge, robes and coffee maker. A crib is available upon request. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available. These rooms offer views of the lake, courtyard or parking lot.
