My husband (55) and myself (52) planned our first on site stay almost a year-and-a-half ago. I work with someone who is a Disney Vacation Club Owner who said that Port Orleans French Quarter was the best Moderate Resort because of it's smaller size. We were convinced and booked there.
Time went on and while the boat to Downtown Disney looked nice and the resort looked beautiful, I really did not care for the look of the main pool and the restaurant. To surprise my husband, I switched to the Wilderness Lodge but he found out and did not want to spend the extra money. After looking at reviews and You Tube videos, we switched to Port Orleans Riverside -Alligator Bayou.
I have been stressing over storage because of the trundle bed and saw a thread the other day regarding Coronado Springs vs. Port Orleans Riverside and and people were saying thar Coronado Springs had more of an adult feel. We looked at You Tube videos and decided to switch to Coronado Springs.
Also, we originally had the Deluxe Dining Plan for all of our 13 days and had reservations for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After thinking about how much time we would be spending eating and getting to and from, we switched back to the regular dining plan.
The negative reviews I have read is that the resort is large. We are staying in a Preferred Room King bed. We plan on having a rental car just in case we have early or late dinner reservations. I have read that it lacks the Disney feel because it is a convention resort. I have also read that customer service and housekeeping is shoddy.
I would appreciate opinions and reviews of those who have stayed at Coronado Springs. We are staying from December 4 th until the 16 th. I have been ordering gift cards for over a year to pay our out of pocket expenses.
We plan on eating at Kouzzina, Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's, The Wave and Kona for breakfast. We also plan on eating at Le Cellier, California Grill, Be Our Guest, and The Hoop de do Review.
