I stayed in the Casitas in May 2005 and enjoyed it. I was on the 4th floor with a water view so I had a great view of not only the resort itself, but could see The Tower of Terror, Swan, Dolphin, etc. VERY nice view! The resort is huge, yes, but if you've stayed in the other moderates, it's similar to Carribbean or Port Orleans Riverside in being spread out. The Casitas are close to most bus stops and the main building, but yes, far from the main pool. A quiet pool is close by though. The health club and spa is in the casitas area too! The convention center had an added benefit - I made good use of the business center with the computers and also in shipping some of my purchases home! I would definitely stay there again.
