We just got back from our first trip to Disney and stayed at CSR. We absolutely LOVED everything about it. We followed Passporter's advice and asked for Cabana 8B which was close to the bus stop and the main building was a short stroll along the lake. We didn't make it to the pool although the quiet pool was right through the courtyard.

Everything was fabulous. We requested a rollaway bed...got it. After we got back from the parks, we could grab our mugs, catch a bus and be at the main gate straightaway. The bus service was incredible. We caught the bus at stop 4 and always had a seat. If we saw a bus coming back from, for example Hollywood, and it was filled we only had to wait a short time for the next one. Also, you can use the bus service around the resort itself so you really don't have to walk much at all if you don't want to but even on cool January nights, the walk was really nice around the lake.

We ate at the Pepper Grill on the last day and also were astounded that it was counter service since everything was cooked to order and the portions (breakfast) were unbelievably huge. In hindsight, we probably should have had a night at the Maya Restaurant as well...the menu looked fantastic.

The concierge also made sure Mickey left our 15 year old (autistic) son a balloon bouquet and a signed picture from Mickey on our last night. Everyone did everything they could to make our stay hassle-free, quiet, and relaxing. I'd be hesitant to stay in another resort.
