Any opinions on Coronado Springs? About This Page:

[angelridout]

Since Wilderness Lodge is a little out of the budget this year I'm thinking of trying CS for my trip the first week in March. I've looked several places online but I haven't been able to find a lot of opinions on it. I've stayed at all the other moderates and like them but I thought it might be fun to stay someplace new. What are the good and less than good aspects of CS? Any locations more preferable? I know it's a big resort but walking's not a problem. Does the fact that it's a convention center make it more or less crowded than the other moderates?

I haven't stayed there yet (I really want to though). I can only go by what I've read, but I've read several people commenting on how the busses and pools were less crowded since its a convention center-- and many people staying there weren't able to spend as much time going to the parks or swimming. I think it looks really beautiful!!! The only downside that I can find so far is that there's only one sink in the bathroom area, and I really like two, but other than that-- it really looks nice.

We loved the CSR. We stayed in cabanas 9B and we were fairly close to everything. My kids loved the Dig Site. The pool was awesome and we couldn't get the kids away from the slide. The Pepper Market was very good and we used it several times. The buses ran great, we never waited more then 10-15 minutes. The rooms were really clean and mousekeeping always put extra towels in the rooms for us. We will definitely stay there again.

A good friend of mine just came back from there. He and his family have stayed there many times and really love it. His kids especially love the slide - he says it the best one of any of the other resorts. We're going to try to stay there soon too!

Just got back from a 3 day stay there last Sunday We love love love this resort. It's my favorite value/moderate resort (and I even liked it better than Beach Club ) Everyone we encountered there was super friendly. You can fill up your refillable mug at Pepper Market OR at the pool area snack shop (handy having two places, although the pool snack shop does close around 8P or so). Our room was extremely spacious and we had 2 adults, 2 kids in the room. The one sink didn't bother me at all. We were on the 2nd floor in building 8B of the cabanas. It was a little jaunt to the main pool, but not bad. And there was a quiet pool just a few steps away. Also we were right next to the stairs and across the parking lot from bus stop #4. I would definitely ask to be in this location again if (WHEN) we stay there again. We also spent an hour just lounging on the hammocks across from our building - the boys looked for fish, too. I didn't feel out of place with the convention people at all. We walked back from the pool to our room in our swimsuits one day and passed 2 or 3 other families doing the same thing, as well as several people in suits and dresses. No biggie. It was great. Can you tell I love this resort?

We stayed at Coronado Springs last summer and loved it! It is very quiet, even though there were a couple of conventions going on while we were there. It is really a great place to relax. Taking a walk at night around the lake is really beautiful. The whole place is beautiful. We stayed in the Cabanas (9B, I think) and it was a short walk to the Dig Site pool and it was even shorter of a walk to the quiet pool. My kids (12 & 14 at the time) absolutely loved the Dig Site pool and the whole Mexican look of the resort. We never waited longer than 5 - 10 minutes for the bus. Food at the Pepper Market was great with generous servings. Frandiscos bar was fantastic, especially their free salsa and chips for the asking.

This year we stayed at the Beach Club resort, and actually we preferred Coronado Springs because it was so much quieter, less crowded and just plain peaceful. The Staff is much more friendly at Coronado Springs also. However, we can't deny that the fact that you can walk to Epcot and MGM Studios from the Beach Club is wonderful. And Stormalong Bay pool at the Beach Club is not to be missed. If you can only afford a moderate, we would definately recommend a stay at Coronado Springs! We will stay there again.

good to know we will be there in jul/aug of 2006 with my dbil. We have requested either cabanas or ranchos. Good to know I made a good choice. Now I can't wait to go.

yes, we stayed there too last year. Everyone loved it except for my DH, who did not like the food court very much. Everyone else liked it, but he thought it was too crowded. My kids loved the pool, especially the slide (which I had to try also). They did not like the pool bar, which would not let the kids sit at the counter, so we had to eat at a table away from the pool, but besides that we would definitely stay there again. I liked that they had a health club and they had two arcades which made the kids very happy!
