Don't go to CSR and eat Mexican food. It's terrible! Stay at CSR, the
Casitas are reportedly the best, and enjoy the theming and the cool
looking Aztec themed pool, but get your Mexican food from Epcot, not the
food court.

I think the length of the bus rides are overblown. The long one is
from MK, but that's because there's no convenient route. Look at
it this way. At park closing, if you were driving, you'd still be
trying to get out of the lot. :-)

It's the same distance to/from All-Stars, and I don't hear as many
complaints about the travel time. Perhaps higher dollars spent
leads to higher expectations?

(If they continued Epcot Center Drive down across Western Way
and to Animal Kingdom, it would greatly improve travel times.
But it's probably not worth the cost to save a guest 10 minutes.
Unless, of course, another theme park comes to fruition in that
great big empty void North of Western Way and East of Crescent
Lake...)

But many agreements on that long walk thing. I've lucked out two
of the four times I've been there, but the first time I stayed there,
I remember saying to myself, "There's another damned segment..."
