From Our MouseForLess Members:

MouseForLess Interesting Facts about the resort: I've read somewhere online that this is one of the largest convention centers on the east coast. And look for the hidden Mickey by the pool. - TinaMarie Krasner

The food court at this resort is very unique with different "stations" and not like the traditional food courts. I found the food to be a bit more expensive than regular food court fare, but much better quality. - Allyson

MouseForLess Room Request Tips: Try the 2nd or 3rd floor at this resort for a better view. There is a lot of high shrubbery in front of the buildings which may obscure the view out of many of the first floor rooms. Also, we stayed in building 7-A (Rancho's section), which has great access to a quiet pool. However, avoid room #7184 (our room) - this room is in an interior corner of the building and we had a view of a walled walkway. - Rachel Brewer

We have stayed at this resort twice. Since our first stay when we have requested the Casitas section, which is near Bus Top #2 and the bus stops there 1st. You are almost guaranteed a seat. We found Bus Stop #1 which is at the main building that houses the food court to be more crowded. - Dina McKenna

This resort is so large that it doesn't really matter where your room is, you still have a long hike. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Hidden Treasures: CS has a couple of Quiet Pools. Take the time to walk the grounds and different areas where rooms are located. Some of the little courtyards have beautiful fountains and topiaries. There is a topiary of the Three Caballeros in 1 of the sections. - Dina McKenna

Swinging in the hammock is so relaxing. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Romance: A nice walk through the many walkways, the grounds are beautiful and a late night relaxing dip in the hot tub is nice as well. Strolling along the "beach" is very nice. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Families: The Pool area and playground are great and it has a water slide. There is also a game room at the pool area. - Dina McKenna

Rent a surrey bike or a paddle boat and use on the lake for some non-park fun. - Allyson

There is lots of sand for kids to play with on the beach area. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Large Travel Groups: This is a perfect resort for large groups. We had 2 adjoining rooms which worked out for our group of 9. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Guests with Special needs: Request handicap rooms close to the front of the resort. The walk to the bus stop isn't that bad if you are in one of the first buildings. And they have an "internal" shuttle if you need it.  - TinaMarie Krasner

This resort has rooms that are a bit larger than the value resorts, may be easier to fit a wheelchair or walker inside. - Allyson

MouseForLess Tips for WDW Newbies: If you are a coffee drinker/soda drinker get the refillable mugs. It's priced reasonably and you have a great souvenir when you get home. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Budget Travelers: When hunting for food, consider taking it "to go" from the Pepper Market in order to save on the automatic 18% gratuity. Right outside is a great area for seating, with lot's of tables, comfortable chairs and umbrellas for shades. Another great alternative for sandwiches and salads is the La Tienda convenience store. Everything is very fresh and you may find exactly the same thing here all ready to go that you would have to wait for at the food court. - Rachel Brewer

My cousins stayed at CS Easter week and they were on the dining plan. You can get the most bang for your Counter Service bucks at the Pepper Market for lunch or dinner. They have Ribeye Steak dinner that's $18.95 and a Grilled Tuna Dinner that was I think $15.95. These both counted as counter service not sit-down. -Terrie

Moderator resorts have refrigerators, so it's perfect if you want to bring food from home. - TinaMarie Krasner

MouseForLess Tips for Luxury Travelers: CS has some suites which you can't find at the other moderates. Of course they cost more. - Dina McKenna

They have on-site a hair salon, health spa and room service. - TinaMarie Krasner

The Maya Grill is a very nice restaurant for dinner or a great breakfast buffet for those who want to spend a little more. - Allyson
