Room rehab at CSR

[blondeinbrandon]

We are heading to CSR on the 30th! Can't wait.
Last time we stayed at Ranchos 7B and LOVED it! It was so close to the bus!
If Ranchos 7s haven't been refurbed, where should I ask for a room? I want close to a bus with the queen sized beds, but other than that it doesn't matter. I don't need near the pools or the front.
Help!

Ranchos 6A and 6B are complete if you want to stick in the Ranchos area.

I'd go with cabana 8a. All the cabana buildings are done and 8a is the building next to 7b and is closer to the bus and pool.

Not many huge updates at CSR to talk about. Still working on the renovations but here are a few little things.

CSR now has blue velvet ropes in the lobby instead of those ribbon line guides. And they opened up the first three stations on the check in counter specifically for the "on-line" check ins. With the pre-arrival check in, they can have room keys and welcome packs already prepped. For the experienced guest, it's very quick. Newbies, of course, still have questions and need guidance, so it doesn't really change much there.

Casitas 5 is now down for renovations!

We will be there inOct!!

By then the rehab should be done or mostly done!

[Belster]

I cannot wait!!! My first time to CSR will be in October...

[KatMark]

Ranchos 7B is down for rehab. Trying to confirm if Casitas 5 is complete. If it is, then all that is left after Ranchos 7B, is 7A and the three remaining floors of Casitas 1, 2 and 3.

[buzz2001]

At a month per building, that should put them right into October.

After staying at CSR again after the refurb, I retract my previous statement. I really like the new rooms. I think it was just a bad experience all around. The beds did not have the runner down the middle, which made the bed look boring. We were in our least favorite building at CSR, and the food court absolutely sucked! This last time was much better, which made us both happy since we had enjoyed CSR a lot the first two visits.

Good to hear. Glad you enjoyed it this time around.

Here's another view on CSR

Rancho 7B is about half way done. Rancho 7A is up next.

[buzz2001]

Rancho 7B should be back up in a few days. Rancho 7A is also now out for rehab.

[buzz2001]

Rancho 7b is open.

[KatMark]

Ranchos 7A is done and open. Casitas 2 is down now for rehab and will be all month. So, as things stand, all of the Cabanas are done and all of the Ranchos are done. Casitas 4 and 5 are complete; once they finish Casitas 2, they will only have the first three floors of Casitas 1 and 3 to finish. Looks to me as if they are on schedule and will be done by October 09 as predicted.

According to a guest that just returned from CSR, the Pepper Market is no longer using the old PM mugs. They have begun to use the new WDW mugs. They also are not suppose to refill Pepper Market mugs any longer although she saw it being done frequently.
