We have been to DW twice. The first time we stayed at CBR and the second at CSR. We really enjoyed them both. Both our trips were right after Thanksgiving so the crowds were about the same. If I had to choose, I would probably lean towards the CSR, just because I liked the feel of it. But please don't think I didn't like CBR, it was fun and clean and quiet - all things I like to have in a resort when vacationing!
The food court was a bit different at CSR, but after the first day - no problem! The food was good and they gave you ALOT for your $$. It was get a table first, then go get your food and then pay on the way out. At CBR it was go get your food, pay for it, and then eat. The bars at the pools were both nice. The CMs at both resorts were friendly and very helpful. We had a wonderful experience with the CMs at CSR due to my DS losing his lanyard with all his Stitch pins and he was very upset and crying. Several CMs got together and put him a lanyard together with pins that you can only get by trading with CMs. One even gave him one off her PERSONAL lanyard (it was an '07 Stitch pin like he had lost). I was told several times "We can't let a little boy go home from Disney in tears!!!" Luckily, we didn't have any kind of crisis at CBR, but I would bet that they would have been just as sweet. We did get towel animals at CSR but none at CBR, but from what I've read here - its the luck of the draw, some Mousekeepers do them, some don't. CSR is quite spread out, but we kind of liked that. The walk in the moring to breakfast was a good way to finish waking up and get ready for the parks. At CBR, we could hop on the first bus we saw and then get off at the main area for the food court - made us a little lazy first thing in the am. Well that's all I can think of for the moment!
Our next trip we are springing for AKL!!! YEAH!!!
