Coronado Springs Resort - New Unofficial FAQ Thread - November 2011

[Mommee]

you can´t pay the tip in PP with the room key? thats bad... normaly we pay everything with the key, so that we must not take any money with us

we found out later that it's only dinner that you can't do that. Breakfast and lunch buffet you can

Just came back from our 7 night stay.
Beautiful resort got cabana 9A.
Did online check in didn't save much time.
This was our 2nd time at disney...first trip was at All Star music. Did not think it was worth the upgrade to moderate this trip. If we go back we would do another All star or pop century.

So, what time does the slide close?

Way too early....7:30pm and the bar 6 and the movie screen is so small

I'm completely baffled as to why the bar is not open in the evenings, as that's when a lot of people go to the pool after a day in the parks. They lost a small fortune in margarita money from me by not having evening hours.

Subscribing since I just booked CSR for two nights in October. After looking at just the pics on the first page I'm really looking forward to it.

Are there any places to refill a mug late or very early? (After midnight, 5-6am)

When we were staying at CSR last week there was a bounce back offer for free dining for Aug 2013 don't remember the exact dates but I did bring the flyer home. We loved our stay at CSR and tried to book it for next Aug but there was no rooms available so we booked POR. We prefer the theming at CSR we loved strolling around the resort at night it's so pretty and relaxing. Linda

only 10 days till i am "home" at CSR!!

10 days for me and the family as well! Did you do on-line check-in? I did but it didn't take my building request. I guess I'll have to call them this morning.

12 days!! I am not doing online check in because the options I want are not listed on the survey. I'll just check in when we get there.

We could use some pixie dust. I'm on antibiotics for bronchitis and am slowly getting better but am not 100% yet. My main worry is dd, coughing a lot and congested. The doctor switched her allergy meds, but so far no improvement. I'm very worrying about this morphing into an ear infection before our flight and trip. I told dd to let me know ASAP if her ears hurt or feel clogged and I'll take her back to the doctor. Prayers and PD for quick healing and no ear infections are appreciated!

8 more until we head out.

Also still looking for any places to refill a mug late or very early? (After midnight, 5-6am)

Hi everyone!! I actually stayed at CSR in July for a conference but I was so busy with that and with the parks that I feel like I barely explored the resort. I'm going again in January 2013 with my family and we've booked a junior suite. Does anyone have any recommendations about potential requests related to ideal suite locations? I believe that most of them are in the Casitas....but does anyone know if there are certain blocks that have water views ...........or are they located on all 3 floors .........or do any have decent views of any fireworks, etc?? I'm looking for any insight...

Thanks!!!
Jen

Hey there.

I am new to this forum. Our family always stays at the Beach Club each August so I spend most of my time on the Beach Club forum.

I am heading down to WDW for my annual December conference and I received a great rate at Coronado Springs. $620 for 4 nights (room only). Since I have never stayed at CS before I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the resort since I am totally clueless on it.

I will be traveling alone so I would prefer to be as close to the main building as possible and I also prefer an upper level room. Convenience is key for me.

Also any recommendations for dining options would be greatly appreciated as well!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!
