Couldn’t have written it better myself
We stayed at CSR in late September/early October 2019. The standard room was lovely and we really liked the pool area. We’d probably want to try the gran destino tower if we stayed again though just for something different. We found the buses really good (generally) and it only took a couple of mins to get to a stop from our room. We didn’t ever feel the journey to any of the parks was particularly long as I think the resort is quite central but closest to AK.

I'm currently booked for CBR in July 2020. CBR was £250 less than CSR so was a no brainer for us in that aspect.
I think CBR has a more 'fun' atmosphere around it (I've never been so correct me if I'm wrong!), all the colours of the buildings just seem to give off a lovely vibe. CSR just seems a bit too 'dark & brooding' for me!

Mmm this is my view only of course, but I didn't think CBR had fun theming or any vibe at all. The majority of the buildings are a mucky pink and I think look tired, like they could do with the exterior repainting (I don't know if that happened as part of the recent resort refurb). There may be a bit more colour in the buildings housing the main amenities, however we were so far from these that I only went once.
For fun theming I think Art of Animation would be top pick, although we have decided to go for Pop Century next year, I don't think the theming is quite as good but overall it will suit us better than AoA. I have never been to CSR, but it doesn't look dark to me, it looks very bright especially the new tower. I expect it would be more grown up and less themed than some other resorts though because of the conferences. |

I was considering Pop Century for our trip next year but we really enjoy the moderates and seeing how busy the buses get for the values terrifies me! We're hoping to move to POR if it opens up in time but I doubt that so we booked CBR instead, I've watched a couple of videos on CSR and CBR and much preferred the theming and look of CBR compared to CSR, plus having the skyliner at CBR wins it for me!
I'm not a fan of the new tower at CSR, I haven't seen it in person so can't judge too much, but in pictures it just seems to stand out like a sore thumb. The blessing about Disney is that there's a resort for everyone!
