We're getting in next week. Is the pool area still closed? I'm crossing everything that they finish the construction or whatever early!

I just booked CSR through Priceline Express and am assuming it will be a standard room. We have only stayed in the Cabanas but I think they are nearest to the construction, right?
Between Casitas bldg 4 or Ranchos bldg 6A which would you request? Casitas 4 looks closer to the public areas but I prefer the look of the Ranchos.
I'm 99% sure I don't need to be near the pool. It would have to be a freakish, record breaking heat wave to get me anywhere near a pool in late January.
I don't have plans to use the Food Court much. I lost my Dining Plan when I dropped my WDWTC POR reservation and booked through Priceline instead.
Any idea of the bus stop order?
Thanks!
We just got back from a week at CSR in Ranchos 7A right by bus stop 3. The park buses go to stop 1 last and there were a few times that the bus was full and did not got to bus stop 1 at all. We loved Ranchos! Very peaceful. I did make the walk one morning to get coffee and it was a bit of a hike, but I didn’t mind because it was nice to have a few minutes to myself!
Thanks, I really like the look of the Ranchos, the Casitas seem a lot less themey to me. I'm thinking that I don't need to be close to the front since I don't really have any plans to eat there. I'm driving down so I don't have to lug my bags from DME either.
So the buses start at stop 2/Casitas? Did you ever have a bus pass you at the Ranchos because it was full?
Thanks again!
Hi. I have a question. Have anyone stayed recently? We are arriving the 22nd to spend Christmas and we always stay at the Coronado Spring. We will be at the Casitas. I just want to know the noise level inside the rooms because of the construction. I'm getting a little nervous about that.
This is good to hear! We’ll be there in early MarchWe just got back from a 6 night stay in Ranchos and I literally never heard a single bit of construction in my room. The only time we ever heard it was when we were walking across the bridge that is right in front of the new tower or walking by the dig site pool, and even then it wasn't super loud. It seemed to me like they're doing more interior work now, which will be quieter.

1. What building would you recommend for a family with a 2 and 4 year old?
2. I'm looking at the Room Requests on the Disney site. The options for Room Requests are: Cabanas Area, Highest Floor, Upper Floor, and Near Transportation. Any suggestions? We will have a car but will probably take the bus once or twice.
3. I am a Florida Annual Passholder and already have Magic Bands. It looks like when you book at a Disney hotel you can order new Magic Bands. Since we already have them, is there any reason to reorder new ones?

Hi all, just booked a one night stay in early February through Hotwire Hot Rates. I do have a few questions.

Before the construction, the Cabanas area was our favorite because of the location between the Dig Site and El Centro (not sure how much construction is effecting that area)

If not wanting the Cabanas then highest floor for us. All rooms are pretty close to 1 of the 4 bus stops, we drive to WDW also, but always use WDW transportation.

You can decline them if you do not want any new ones. We usually get a new color, DW and DD's like to color coordinate
