1. How much would a taxi cost from the Yacht & Beach Club back to CSR?
I've used this option many times to return to CSR after IllumiNations. The cost varied between $6.00 and $6.50 plus tip.
2. Is it possible to see any of the Disney firework shows from CSR?
You can see parts of IllumiNations from the upper floors of casita 4 & 5, as well as from the walk way behind El Centro. If you are sitting by the Laguna Bar, you can see the higher ones.
Also, from the Laguna Bar and the walkway behind El Centro, you can see fireworks from Wishes in the general direction of the temple at the main pool.

Yes, CSR has elevators in each building of the resort. They are locate in the middle of each building next to the ice and soda machines.
4. How late are the pools open at CSR?
Hours for the Casitas, Ranchos and Cabanas quiet pools: 8:00 am to 9:00 pm
Hours for the Dig Site pool: 8:00 am to midnight with lifeguards from 10:00am to 8:00pm.
5. What time does the Dig Site pool opening ceremony start?

6. What are the hours for Siestas?

The lounge portion of Siestas is open from 11:00am until 7:00pm. The lounge must close 1 hour before the life guards go off duty.
7. Will CSR offer the Club Level option to regular guests?
No, it's too cost prohibitive to offer this option to regular guests. If guests were charge the cost needed to stay at a club level room at CSR, the rooms would cost as much as a deluxe so there would be no incentive for them to opt for CSR.
8. Does CSR have a on-site bakery?
Yes, CSR has its own on-site bakery. You can get fresh loafs of bread (as well as other items) there. It is located in the Pepper Market. Panchito's does not sell bread because of the bakery.

Yes, you must be in your room in order for the business center to deliever your packages. The reason is because they are not WDW CM's.
