Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

Walt Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort is the newest Moderate and is the only one in this category which has convention facilities.

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Due to this the clientele tends to be weighted more towards the adult side of the age spectrum and the atmosphere a little more laid back.

Club Level rooms with a club lounge and other upgrades are offered at the Coronado.

Tower Standard View Room. Note the loading dock (with dumpsters) at the bottom of the pic, parking lot and bus stop.

The theme at the Coronado is Southwestern, with four different themed groups of buildings. The new San Destino Tower, Casitas is modeled after a Southwestern urban area, Rancheros, which are themed on Southwest cattle ranches, and Cabanas, which represent Mexican coastal villages.

Tower Water View Room

In 2019 a new 15-story tower adjacent to the resort’s old main building was added. This became the new main building and added 500 rooms, including suites and concierge-level services.

The new tower features rooftop dining with panoramic views of nighttime fireworks from Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

MDT Tested

This Disney Resort Hotel is a Military Disney Tips Tested Resort!

The Coronado Springs Resort lacks “the Disney Feel” due to its convention atmosphere. We’ve stayed here many times over the years, but typically when it’s the only Disney Armed Forces Salute discount available for our dates.

Features

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Main Pool

Four Pools

Main Pool with Water Slide and Hot Tub – Worship the sun at an awesome aquatic area built around a 50-foot replica of a Mayan pyramid. Watch water stream down the steps of the massive stone structure into the Lost City of Cibola pool or plunge headlong into it on the spitting Jaguar Slide. This complex, known as the Dig Site Pool, is also home to the largest outdoor hot tub at Walt Disney World Resort, with room for 22 people!

Three Quiet Pools – One located at each settlement—the Casitas, Ranchos and Cabanas—provide Mayan civilization.

Playground with “Dig Site” – Kids can climb, slide and play on an archaeologically themed playground near the Dig Site complex.

Movies Under the Stars – Watch some of your favorite Disney films outside in the fresh evening air near the Lost City of Cibola pool.

Coronado Springs Campfire Activities – Gather ‘round as the sun goes down for old-fashioned family fun as you roast marshmallows by a crackling fire.

Arcade – Iguana Arcade for video games, air hockey, pinball and more, visit this arcade beside the Dig Site pool complex.

Jogging Trail – 0.9 miles along the scenic trail that loops around 22-acre Lago Dorado.

Guest Laundry – A 24-hour self-service laundry room is adjacent to each of the 3 quiet village pools.

Fitness Center – Revitalize your spirits at La Vida Health Club—a full-service facility featuring exercise equipment, massages and more.

Business Center – Fax, print, ship and more at the Business Center inside Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Convention Center. The Business Center also provides a full range of office services and supplies.

Location

An Animal Kingdom Area Resort

Transportation

Bus transportation is available to all Disney World guest areas. There are 4 bus stops located at the tower and at each area.

Our Thoughts

The Coronado is located closer to the Animal Kingdom than most Disney resorts and also is the very first resort you will come to if you are driving in the rear Disney World entrance from SR-429 via Western Way.

The Coronado is a very diverse resort, with very unique, spread out lodging areas. There is the new Destino Tower with new dining and lounge options, the 3 story Casitas area with a large portion of it near the convention center and all the original dining and lounges, and then the 2 story Ranchos and Cabanas.
