Coronado Springs Resort -- New Unofficial FAQ Thread -- July 2009

[NEWfanNY]

Thanks for the idea

I just booked a massage for my husband for his birthday

It is NOT a spa like the Grand Floridian, Saratoga, etc. You can get a massage the Coronado (there are rooms by the fitness center for this service). There is also a salon next to the fitness center where they do nails, facials, etc.

Thank you!! I actually ment salon, no massage for me (I don't want anyone rubbing my fat) Just a plain old pedi is all I need. Thanks again

That looks like suuuuch a lovely idea. Like the idea of working out the kinks after a few days in the parks...

Hello everyone!! I would like to know if the pools are heated. This must be one of those obvious newbie questions, but I cannot see a readily available answer. I see where some swim sometimes in December......I just would like to know if the pools are heated?

Thank you all in advance!!

Also, is the resort pretty at Christmas time?

Thanks again,

Yes, all Disney pools are heated (I'm not sure to exactly what temp).

Here are a few pictures of the CSR at Christmas time:

Quick question regarding the Cabanas...

Do you feel that 9b is close enough to The Dig site? I see on the map there seems to be a bridge of some kind...looks like it could be close to the Dig and also...I guess what I'm thinking is 9b gives you the best of both worlds...close for the kids to the dig and also not too far from the main areas, i.e. lobby, etc. Am I correct? Or have I just confused everyone reading this as I am now that I typed it!!!

ALSO...in my reservation that they emailed me it says: Preference: Cabanas 9B not GTD. What does GTD mean? I"m sure it is something so simple...lol...but do you think I can figure it out!!

I noticed too on my reservation that they have noted that I would like a crib in the room...it says Crib:not full size. My daughter will be 2 1/2 and I don't think a pack-n-play will be long enough for her. Do they offer full size cribs and also...is there enough room for one?

GTD means -- not guaranteed.

I've not stayed in the Cabanas (only the Casitas) so I'm not real up on the walk from that area, but I can tell you it is not that far at all...five minutes max over the bridge maybe to the pool.

Great new thread KatMark. I have been away from the thread for awhile so I have to ask, Where is Buzz? I notice that he hasn't posted on this new thread. Just wondering if all is well.

 

[DearDaisyinDurham]

We are approaching 30 days

Does CSR have programs for children? I have seen that some resorts do...My boys are 6yrs and 8yrs...

Does CSR offer babysitting for the evening?
I don't know if I would be comfortable leaving my children with a stranger..Has anyone done this?

NEWFanNY, my kids LOVED the Neverland Club! The CM's there made them feel very welcome, they had a blast & asked if they could go again. Made our adults night out for dinner very relaxing to know they were in good hands.

That's too bad.

Thank you for the kind words. It easy to do when you love something!

Thank you, too. I'm glad you are enjoying the thread. I always tell people if they end up liking CSR half as much as us, we'll be thrilled--because we love it.

Just wondering if anyone knows when the resort gets decorated for Christmas? We'll be staying at CSR for the first time and we were hoping that it would be done up before Thanksgiving. TIA
