coranado spring ?

has anybody stayed here? what did you think about it? pros - cons? where is/are bus stop(s)? how is food? pool?



coranado spring ?


I%26#39;ve not personally stayed there, but I recently has a co-worker who did and I grilled her for details.





Coronado Springs is a rather large, spread out resort often used for conventions and corporate meetings. According to my co-worker, the main building is a fair hike to the more remote buildings of the campus. I got the feeling it is much like Port Orleans Riverside in that respect.





She said the food and pools were ';Disney standard'; and above the average hotel, but nothing totallly spectacular.





There are four bus stops around the perimeter campus, but because of it remote location, the resort does have exclusive bus service and does not share with other resorts. However, bus time to the Magic Kingdom took about 25 minutes most busy mornings.

I have stayed and this is my favourite moderate resort!





However its only my favourite as i travel with my partner and no children. This resort is great for couples as not many families stay there so can be quiet after being in the parks.





The buses to all the parks are pretty quick except for the MK which is about 25 mins





The food in the pepper court is not great but to be honest i never eat at the hotel anyway





Coronado is a beautiful resort but if your going with kids i would opt out and go for the Port orleans or carribbean beach instead




Thanks Kat for all your info. Wow!!! 25 minutes by bus!!!




tjay2 we do have a couple of teens but if it is quieter than other resorts that may be just what we need after a long day of crowds. Glad to hear you liked it there. Thanks for the reply.




so... only 2 people have stay here! I guess it won%26#39;t be very crowded then ;)




I%26#39;m staying there for the first time at the end of next month. It is mousesavers.com top pick for a moderate resort. It is considered the most deluxe of the moderates. Also, if you are looking for more information regarding this resort, check out this guy%26#39;s Coronado Springs website: http://coronado_springs.tripod.com/





Coronado consistantly gets favorable reviews on www.wdwinfo.com/www.disboards.com. Because of the convention traffic, the buses tend to be less populated. I%26#39;ve read that it is more centrally located than the other moderate and that the trips to all of the parks are pretty reasonable. I heard it was more along the lines of 15 minutes to MK, but I guess that would also depend on where you are located in the resort.





Also, they have a ';fancier'; food court. This is a good thing if you are on the dining plan since it still counts as a counter service meal, but not necessarily the best if you are paying out of pocket.




Thanks for your reply sdfjhalkf ! I will check those sites out. Sounds like we will be staying there just before you will be.




Checked out those sites and this place looks so nice! Can%26#39;t wait to see it in person!




Hello ruleoffour,





The Coronado is my least favorite moderate resort, with the Port Orleans Riverside being my favorite!




The Coronado is the newest of the moderates. We%26#39;ve never stayed there, but visited and thought it felt very much like a convention center, but still very nice. The main pool area was beautiful and not overrun by little kids which would certainly be a draw for couples or older kids. 25 minutes seems a little long to me too. This site is pretty good and says 18 minutes but heavy traffic can make all the trips longer.
