It wasn't moved to the photo board because it was more reviews than photos. If the OP wants to change the title of that thread I can move it here to the photo board.

Can we combine the two threads. The other thread was started so nicely and there are so many pictures on that thread. Can we change the name and incorporate all of the pictures?

[vicki845]

The pictures look lovely! I'm so happy we are staying here in August/Sept!
Thanks for posting them!

I stayed in the coronado during my honeymoon for 7 nights. I was not all that impressed. I must admit, the pix are beautiful; it is a pretty hotel, but very VERY big...I would have preferred to stay in the caribbean instead. However, we did not have a good experience from the beginning- our room smelled of vomit so we had to change ( we were not compensated like i was hoping we would be-especially considering we were married in disney and on our honeymoon). A few days later there was an awful sewage smell. I will not stay there again.

Sorry you had a bad experience at the CSR. But it puzzles me why you would want to stay at the Caribbean when you said hte CSR was VERY big and the Caribbean is even larger and more spread out.

Thanks Buzz. CSR is our new favorite resort. Hopefully we will be back next year! Looking forward to seeing what the new rooms are going to look like.

I posted these elsewhere, but Buzz2001 asked me to post them here, so here they are:

The Review
Just arrived home from a week at Coronado Springs last night. Here are some thoughts…

• It is a beautiful, beautiful resort. You truly feel like you are at an expensive tropical location. We've stayed at POFQ, and loved it there, too, but for that "resort-y" feeling, CSR can't be beat. The landscaping is simply spectacular, lush, and gorgeous. It does not feel like a moderate at all, and I really mean that. Walking around there at night is just breathtaking. The various resort lights reflecting off the lake are sooo beautiful. You just keep stopping and going "Oooh. Ahhh." You can't help yourself because it is so pretty. It also feels really safe at night because there are a lot of folks walking around and the golf cart transportation vehicles run around the lake circle until 3 a.m. shuttling people from the main building if they want it.

• Location is kind of important here. We were in Cabanas 9B (I think that's what it was; it was the second closest building to Pepper Market, room 9250 -- oops, turns out it was 9A per Buzz2001). This was a 2nd floor room, but the elevator was nearby and never took longer than 5 seconds to arrive. The elevators don't seem to get much use as the Cabanas are only 2 stories, so when you do want to use it it's very convenient. Even in these "close" buildings, it's a good 10-minute walk to the main building, but as I said, it is sooo beautiful. After POFQ I thought we'd hate the walk, but we didn't mind it at all. Now, the Ranchos units are quite far away. They, too, are gorgeous, but a long walk. If you picture a large circle around a lake, the main building and the ranchos are directly across the lake from each other, while the other two areas (Casitas and Cabanas) are on the left and right sides of the lake. We were initially put in the Ranchos, but because I faithfully read the DisBoards, I asked for something closer in. We ended up with a water view Cabanas room right next to the quiet pool (Pixie Dust!). Our room also was a corner room with the 2 windows, and what a difference that makes in making the room feel bigger. That second window really takes away the "tomb" feeling of a hotel room and gives you some breathing space. It was just a lovely, lovely room. The man who checked us in was so sweet and accommodating. In fact, all of the staff at CSR were amazingly helpful, kind, and pleasant. We had a friend staying at the resort who got a Casitas room, also close to the main building, and that Casitas section is just beautiful. I felt privileged being in the Cabanas and getting to look out at the Casitas day and night. They provide just a spectacular view.

• The CSR pool has got to be the best one at all of Disney World. First of all, it has a large deeper area (5', 1" I think), so it doesn't have that yucky warm bathtub feel (this was our biggest disappointment at Wilderness Lodge a few years ago). The slide is really long and fast. My kids — both teenagers — loved the pool and wanted to go every night even when they were exhausted. There is a large baby pool and a large hot tub. We also spent a lot of time at the Cabanas quiet pool as it was just outside of our room. It was so relaxing and peaceful. I had to do a load of laundry while we were there, and the laundry room is right next to the quiet pool. Honestly, we had the best possible location. I don't know how we were so lucky.

• The resort was full, but mostly with Conventionears, so you wouldn't know it. They don't really go to the parks, so the buses were awesome. We never had to stand one time! There are 4 bus stops at the resort, and the one in front of the main building is the most crowded. We always got on at stop #4, behind the Cabanas, and there were tons of seats. Coming home from the parks was amazing — all the other moderate resorts had these incredible lines of people, but not ours. After Extra Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom, there were 5 people in our line! We could not believe it.

• Pepper Market — I know a lot of people don't like the set up of this counter service because they seat you and give each member of your party a card. You go around to the various food stations, get what you want, and the person at the food station stamps your card with what you ate. You take it back to your table, eat, and then give the card to the cashier and pay on the way out. I was concerned about how it would work, but we LOVED it. It felt very civilized and peaceful, without the typical jostling to get in a food line, and standing around with trays looking for an empty table. It was so much less hectic. The food I will review later on the dining board, but like most of Disney (in my humble opinion) it was just OK. Not horrible, but not out of this world either. The highlight for me was the soup counter. I love soup and they have two soups a day; you get a HUGE, and I mean huge, bowl along with a nice piece of french bread to dunk in it. Very nice. We also appreciated that there are so many placed to fill your refillable mugs: inside Pepper Market, at the coffee counter just outside Pepper Market, in the Rix Cafe snack shop, and of course at the pool. Very convenient. And speaking of Rix Cafe. This place has an amazing assortment of pretty tasty breakfast and snack foods. My daughter has a breakfast quiche from here one morning and she loved it, said it was delicious. There are also sandwiches, fruit, etc. A large selection definitely not available at other moderates.

• We also ate the breakfast buffet at the Maya Grill. This TS restaurant is — like the rest of the resort — very peaceful and lovely. It wasn't crowded at all, it was quiet, and the food was good. It's a much smaller buffet than, say, Chef Mickey's, as it is definitely more "adult." That was the only meal we had there, but we would have no problem going for another meal. We never made it to the Rix Lounge bar in the main building.

• We had a rental car, and for anyone bringing a car, CSR can't be beat. The parking lots behind each building are never crowded. We parked literally right outside of our building each day and night, no problem. It was so handy when it came to loading and unloading luggage, though they will transport you and your luggage via the golf carts if you take Disney transportation. When we got home after 10+ hours at the parks, it was so nice to park and be 50 feet from our building.

OK, so I think that's about it. I highly, highly recommend this moderate resort. It is ABSOLUTELY a cut above other moderates in so many ways. If you stay here, you will say, as we did frequently, "I can't believe this is a moderate. It sooo feels like a deluxe resort."

We'll be returning to CSR again in just over 2 weeks (doing a split stay) and I cannot wait to get there. These pictures are fabulous and remind us why we love CSR so much!

My picture-taking time was up, so I headed to the front bus stop. It was time to meet up with my family for more fun in the parks.

This was the third trip I've made to Coronado Springs just to eat and/or take pictures. Maybe someday we will stay there. It is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Yes, they do. If you go to Buzz's CSR site, he has layouts of each type of room. Also, the CSR is in the process of getting queen beds to replace the full size beds.

Here is a pic from MissMichelle showing the new beds though.

[monte]

I agree, it's one of the better resorts. Question: Did you try the fitness center, or spa services, if so what are your thoughts? Thanks for a great review.



I posted these elsewhere, but Buzz2001 asked me to post them here, so here they are:

The Review
Just arrived home from a week at Coronado Springs last night. Here are some thoughts…

• It is a beautiful, beautiful resort. You truly feel like you are at an expensive tropical location. We've stayed at POFQ, and loved it there, too, but for that "resort-y" feeling, CSR can't be beat. The landscaping is simply spectacular, lush, and gorgeous. It does not feel like a moderate at all, and I really mean that. Walking around there at night is just breathtaking. The various resort lights reflecting off the lake are sooo beautiful. You just keep stopping and going "Oooh. Ahhh." You can't help yourself because it is so pretty. It also feels really safe at night because there are a lot of folks walking around and the golf cart transportation vehicles run around the lake circle until 3 a.m. shuttling people from the main building if they want it.

• Location is kind of important here. We were in Cabanas 9B (I think that's what it was; it was the second closest building to Pepper Market, room 9250 -- oops, turns out it was 9A per Buzz2001). This was a 2nd floor room, but the elevator was nearby and never took longer than 5 seconds to arrive. The elevators don't seem to get much use as the Cabanas are only 2 stories, so when you do want to use it it's very convenient. Even in these "close" buildings, it's a good 10-minute walk to the main building, but as I said, it is sooo beautiful. After POFQ I thought we'd hate the walk, but we didn't mind it at all. Now, the Ranchos units are quite far away. They, too, are gorgeous, but a long walk. If you picture a large circle around a lake, the main building and the ranchos are directly across the lake from each other, while the other two areas (Casitas and Cabanas) are on the left and right sides of the lake. We were initially put in the Ranchos, but because I faithfully read the DisBoards, I asked for something closer in. We ended up with a water view Cabanas room right next to the quiet pool (Pixie Dust!). Our room also was a corner room with the 2 windows, and what a difference that makes in making the room feel bigger. That second window really takes away the "tomb" feeling of a hotel room and gives you some breathing space. It was just a lovely, lovely room. The man who checked us in was so sweet and accommodating. In fact, all of the staff at CSR were amazingly helpful, kind, and pleasant. We had a friend staying at the resort who got a Casitas room, also close to the main building, and that Casitas section is just beautiful. I felt privileged being in the Cabanas and getting to look out at the Casitas day and night. They provide just a spectacular view.

• The CSR pool has got to be the best one at all of Disney World. First of all, it has a large deeper area (5', 1" I think), so it doesn't have that yucky warm bathtub feel (this was our biggest disappointment at Wilderness Lodge a few years ago). The slide is really long and fast. My kids — both teenagers — loved the pool and wanted to go every night even when they were exhausted. There is a large baby pool and a large hot tub. We also spent a lot of time at the Cabanas quiet pool as it was just outside of our room. It was so relaxing and peaceful. I had to do a load of laundry while we were there, and the laundry room is right next to the quiet pool. Honestly, we had the best possible location. I don't know how we were so lucky.

• The resort was full, but mostly with Conventionears, so you wouldn't know it. They don't really go to the parks, so the buses were awesome. We never had to stand one time! There are 4 bus stops at the resort, and the one in front of the main building is the most crowded. We always got on at stop #4, behind the Cabanas, and there were tons of seats. Coming home from the parks was amazing — all the other moderate resorts had these incredible lines of people, but not ours. After Extra Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom, there were 5 people in our line! We could not believe it.

• Pepper Market — I know a lot of people don't like the set up of this counter service because they seat you and give each member of your party a card. You go around to the various food stations, get what you want, and the person at the food station stamps your card with what you ate. You take it back to your table, eat, and then give the card to the cashier and pay on the way out. I was concerned about how it would work, but we LOVED it. It felt very civilized and peaceful, without the typical jostling to get in a food line, and standing around with trays looking for an empty table. It was so much less hectic. The food I will review later on the dining board, but like most of Disney (in my humble opinion) it was just OK. Not horrible, but not out of this world either. The highlight for me was the soup counter. I love soup and they have two soups a day; you get a HUGE, and I mean huge, bowl along with a nice piece of french bread to dunk in it. Very nice. We also appreciated that there are so many placed to fill your refillable mugs: inside Pepper Market, at the coffee counter just outside Pepper Market, in the Rix Cafe snack shop, and of course at the pool. Very convenient. And speaking of Rix Cafe. This place has an amazing assortment of pretty tasty breakfast and snack foods. My daughter has a breakfast quiche from here one morning and she loved it, said it was delicious. There are also sandwiches, fruit, etc. A large selection definitely not available at other moderates.

• We also ate the breakfast buffet at the Maya Grill. This TS restaurant is — like the rest of the resort — very peaceful and lovely. It wasn't crowded at all, it was quiet, and the food was good. It's a much smaller buffet than, say, Chef Mickey's, as it is definitely more "adult." That was the only meal we had there, but we would have no problem going for another meal. We never made it to the Rix Lounge bar in the main building.

• We had a rental car, and for anyone bringing a car, CSR can't be beat. The parking lots behind each building are never crowded. We parked literally right outside of our building each day and night, no problem. It was so handy when it came to loading and unloading luggage, though they will transport you and your luggage via the golf carts if you take Disney transportation. When we got home after 10+ hours at the parks, it was so nice to park and be 50 feet from our building.

OK, so I think that's about it. I highly, highly recommend this moderate resort. It is ABSOLUTELY a cut above other moderates in so many ways. If you stay here, you will say, as we did frequently, "I can't believe this is a moderate. It sooo feels like a deluxe resort."

Does anyone have "before and after" pictures of the new beds? I would like to see if the new queen beds are much bigger then the old doubles. It looks like the headboards are the same.

I looked all of these pictures of the hotel and when we went over the summer. The pictures were true to form. The hotel was beautiful and the grounds were really nice. I would love to back to the hotel, but my husband likes us to go to a different hotel everytime we go. Just to try different ones out. :banana: :banana: :banana:

[shannon1219]

We have been trying to stay at all the resorts and I am so excited about finally getting the chance to stay at CSR. :cool1:

[ckret01]

I will be staying here for the first time in a few weeks and am very excited. Everyones pictures are awesome and it is making me even more excited to go there.

[Lilolvr]

Where do I start?????

In September I, along with around 20,000 other Disney fans, applied to be on the 2009 WDW Moms Panel. I really never thought I had a chance and was amazed to make it to round 2 and then again to the final telephone interview round. I'd convinced myself that I really mucked up the interview so was absolutely astounded when the call came on November 5th to announce that I'd made it :faint:

Fast-forward a few weeks and I'd chatted online with all the other 15 panellists, signed my contract and was waiting at Gatwick airport ready to fly to Florida.

I must admit to being slightly nervous, not only was I flying alone for the first time but I was also diving head first into the unknown. I had no clue what I would be doing for the next few days, where I’d be eating etc, a completely different trip to which I’m used to!!! Plus most importantly who was I going to talk to for the next 14ish hours :rotfl:

After a 10 hour flight, thanks to a head wind, I arrived at MCO and it was almost dark :eek: As we normally travel in August this was very weird for me!!!! I knew that I had a driver to pick me up but suddenly realised that I couldn’t remember where I was meant to meet him! I vaguely recalled A so I headed that way and I was right, there was Tim holding a VIP sign with my name on it :yay: Now I’m not sure if Tim realised that I hadn’t spoken to anyone in hours but by the end of our journey when I hadn’t stopped for breath I think he must have realised :lmao: He was such a lovely man and so easy to talk to.

I arrived at Coronado Springs Resort at approximately 7.30pm (12.30am my time) and checked in, a nice touch was the manager coming out to greet me and hand me my special envelope.

After wandering around for a while I eventually found my room in Casitas 1, I was on the fourth floor and literally only the second room from the elevator which led directly to the convention centre so a superb location. After a quick bite to eat I was in bed by 8.45pm. Now on a normal trip I would literally fall straight to sleep but having read my itinerary for the next few days sleeping was impossible, this became a recurring theme of the week!

Here are a few photos of the gorgeous newly renovated rooms at CSR. (sorry the photos aren't fantastic quality but I was very tired!)

I'd also like to say a big thankyou to my fellow Moms as some of the photos in this TR are there's!

Friday 5th December Part 1 here! (http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=29155793&postcount=52)Thanks for the pics!!

[Buzz2001]

Thanks for the pics!!Thanks for posting!

[Buzz2001]

Here (hopefully) are some pics of the newly renovated rooms. There is a lot of dark wood in the room so some are kind of dark. I tried to lighten as best as I could so you see everything.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/jalynn1976/Disney%2008/coronado0001.jpg

There is a light above the bed. The headboard is wooden as well with carved detail and I believe there is also some leather type of padding on it as well.


http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/jalynn1976/Disney%2008/coronado0002.jpg

Flat screen tv with dvd player underneath. There is an ice bucket with glasses and a coffee maker with coffee mugs as well. The refrigerator is pretty good sized as well.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/jalynn1976/Disney%2008/coronado0003.jpg

I'm not sure if the bathroom was renovated or not. The handle on the shower didn't want to seem to shut off so it seemed like it had been new and maybe not just broken in yet? :confused3

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/jalynn1976/Disney%2008/coronado0004.jpg

The large dark wooden panels on either side of the doorway are actually sliding doors that close for privacy in the sink/bathroom area.

The room had a very updated contemporary look to it. I loved it. It wasn't overly themed yet subtle touches of Spanish culture remained in the deco. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2Thanks for posting the pics and glad you enjoyed CSR!!

[Buzz'sBetterHalf]

Can't wait to try the new rooms!!

[Buzz2001]

Hi everyone!

We've been here for 8 wonderful nights in a newly redone room located on the top floor of Casita 1, and sadly we must head back home tomorrow. I'll be giving a full report soon with lots of pics, but I wanted to let everyone know that the temporary fence around the Casita quiet pool was removed today, the rehab is complete, and it's open for use!:banana:

BTW - CSR is a strikingly BEAUTIFUL resort! We thoroughly enjoyed everything about it, and every CM we've talked to has been extremely courdial and helpful in every way!:cloud9:

Here's a few pics now. Sorry they're a little big. I'll resize them later when I have more time.

That's it for now. We've got to get ready to go to EMH at the MK tonight. Our last big HURRAH before we have to leave tomorrow. (Oh, and crowds have been between moderate and moderately heavy. Nothing too bad, but Fastpasses are needed for the more popular attractions unless you want to stand in line for an hour or two.)Thanks for sharing!

[zackiedawg]

Well I didn't stay there, but I went there to eat at Maya Grill one night during Mousefest, and brought the camera along for some shots on a beautiful cool night:

As I said, our stay at CSR was truly FABULOUS! The CMs were wonderful, and although I know that some have reported less than magical CMs at the Pepper Market, we had nothing but the nicest Pepper Market CMs. (Although we did see a few less than magical guests at the Pepper Market, actually fighting over who was in line first. That was kinda funny in a dumb sort of way.)

Everything was clean and neat, the landscaping really is gorgeous, and the walk around the lake is quite relaxing and pretty. We made that walk a few times actually, going to and from the pool. Since we were in Casita 1, we'd walk to the pool going past El Centro and across the bridge in front of the Cabanas, then we'd return by going past Casita 5 and back around to Casita 1.

We were very fortunate to receive a newly renovated room, and it was lovely.

These pics are beautiful. I think I may have to bite the bullet and change my hotel for June.:scared1: Staying at POP but I am liking CSR so much better now. It only comes out to a $245 difference for me. Is it worth it?? Pros/Cons??

[Lilolvr]

For only $245.00, I'd make the switch. You'll get queen beds and a larger room.

Oh my goodness, yes! It is so worth the difference! It is so relaxing and quiet there. I have stayed at values, mods, and delux (Poly) and like CSR the most. The values are so "concrete". Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather stay there than offsite, but CSR has such a "lush" feel to it, with lots of landscaping and room. I guess that adds to the complaint of it being too spread out, but I like that about the resort.

Well I did it! Changed reservations to CSR. I'm soooo excited now. Even got a waterview room. I think i will enjoy CSR a lot more than POP.
