We returned home a couple days ago after a 10-night stay at CSR. It was our first non-value resort; we're usually Pop people, but we're both afraid of heights so the Skyliner is more of a negative than a plus, and we were concerned about reports of crowding at that resort anyway. We stayed in Casitas 5 - I had specifically requested that we be near a bus stop and on the ground floor because I use an electric wheelchair. Both requests were met.
Overall, we really liked the resort. It had enough of a Disney feel for us, which I had been worried about, and the beds were very comfortable. And of course it's just a gorgeous resort. It was also pleasantly mostly-empty, so we never had too big of a problem with people around.
There were only two big negatives for us:
1. No QS. I had known/been concerned about this going in, and it was ok but not great. Rix Cafe being open was a life-saver, but we're really sick of chicken strips! I also wish that there had been a refillable drink station; we ordered a bunch of beverages from
Amazon instead, but I miss that option.
2. The lack of specified bus lines. We never had a problem getting on a bus or getting to/from a park whenever we wanted. For that matter, we never had to wait very long for a bus. The biggest issue was that it was basically a giant cluster of people with very little distancing and no sense of who wanted which bus. That really wore on us, even as people tried to be considerate to one another. It just really needed some structure/order/something.
I think we'll definitely be back to CSR, but we'll wait until QS is back.
