Which buildings have been done so far?

Only 9B--which is Club Level. Casitas 1 and 2 are the first of the "regular" rooms to start getting the full makeover (although all rooms in the resort have the queen beds).

Thanks, Buzz, for correcting me.

I can report that the 4th floor of building 1 is finished. Although the rooms still smell heavily of paint. They are now converting the 4th floor of casitas 2 and 3.

Do you think any of the Cabanas will be finished by mid-July 2009? We are thinking about staying at CSR and Cabanas would be my first choice, but a refurbished room would also be really nice.
Thanks for the updates Buzz. I assume you work at CSR? What do you do?

Thanks for the update. We were thinking of staying there this summer since it has been 7 years since we have been there. Now if there the place is getting refurb, all the more reason to go again.

No, I don't work there but I have quite a few acquaintances that help me out.

If they continue in their current direction of the casitas, to the ranchos and finish up with the cabanas, I doubt any will be done in July. I'll keep posting updates on the progress though.

Building 9b has been completed and CSR will go live with business club level at the first of next year. Some CM's will see the new lounge on the 16th.

Renovations have been completed on the 4th floors of bldgs 1,2,and 3. All is progressing nicely. Check ahead as to where the work is going on. The third floors of those buildings were noisy; but only during the day (regular work hours). Most will be in the parks at that time, so it is no big deal. But if you have infants that will need mid-day nap, ask when you are checking in.

The quiet pool at bldg 4 is being rehabbed. Should be finished soon.

CSR has the resort shuttle running from 7 pm until 2 or 3 am. It seems strange; but they received more complaints about the shuttle service when they are running it, than when they don't.......so CSR has cut it out during the daylight hours unless a convention group pays for the extra service.

What was there to complain about? Were people being chase by mad shuttle drivers? I found it to be a nice and unobtrusive service. People are weird...

PS. Anybody able to sneak a picture of the new rooms?

Frequency, people want it there when they walk out the door. Also, if it was full and could not stop.

For anyone staying after the 19th of Dec. in Cabanas 9A you are in for a totally redone room. The whole building is empty of guests and an army of workers has begun to remodel the rooms. The rooms are being emptied totally, electric, painting, some woodwork and tile work are being performed. There has been trailers full of old furniture being taken away and the way it is being handled it is not coming back. The quiet pool was not so quiet today!

Cleaned out.


This is one of the papers taped to the window of a unit. It shows the order of things to be done and by which trade. The completion date for them is the 19th.


Another telling the trades the items for this room and locations in the room.


This one shows a bunch of rooms with the papers in the windows and a couple of the guys.

Cabanas 9A are the new club rooms right?

So the rooms in 9A are the traditional rooms? That means they are going to be some remodeled Cabanas for our July trip? This would be most excellent.

Thanks for all the updates! We are staying at CSR for the first time the last week of Jan. We already requested a Cabana room and it would be awesome if we got a refurbed room.
