OMG I can't wait. Just upgraded to CSR from POP. Last year got a little pixie dust and was upgraded from pop to ssr at no added charge. Woohoo. While I am anxious to try a value, pop especially, I am so happy to go to CSR. This thread has been a godsend. The pics are amazing!!! I feel like I know so much about it and just cant wait to get there. We just missed free dining and will be there from 8/12 to 8/15 before a cruise out of Tampa. Hope to see some fellow Dis'ers.

We just spent 6 nights at CSR, it was our first time at this resort and we LOVED it! The beauty of the grounds was refreshing to the soul. It was a lot of walking, but that didn't bother our family (DS8, DD6, me and hubby). The bus service was far superior to that of POP, where we have stayed in the past. The wildlife was amazing...bunnies, turtles, ducks, snails, etc. We stayed in the Casitas section, I requested the cabanas but none were available. Turns out we loved the casitas and it was great being the first bus stop to be picked up and dropped off from. We also checked in around noon and our room was actually ready even though they were booked to capacity the night before...bonus for us! I would highly recommend this resort, the family and I LOVED it and plan to go back again!

Thanks for sharing!

I was at CSR last sunday through saturday for a CPA conference. We ate lunch almost every day at Pepper Market and some breakfasts. We had excellent service all week at the Pepper Market. The food was some of hte best quick service we've had on property. Some many choices. We also went to the quick service Cafe Rix which was also good. They had great m&m cookies and coffee. They serve Illy coffee which is one of my favorite coffees.

Our check-in went very smoothly and had a great CM from Oklahoma State. She was at disney for the college program. Very nice and got us rooms close to the conference center which was really nice since we had classes starting at 730am.

The rooms were very clean and kept that way all week. I thought they were better then POR or POFQ.

Buses were good but I really say we got on at bus stop #2 which is the first stop the busses make. Several times the buses were packed before they got to El Centro (bus stop #1 which is the front lobby stop) which was good for the tons of people at that stop. We never waited longer then 5 minutes for a bus going or coming back from the parks.

Thanks for sharing!

I stayed at the Coronado Springs last week. It was a last minute trip and it was all that was available. I have stayed there twice before once for a convention and once just over night. Neither trip did I have time to enjoy the resort.

This trip was different. I was pleased to see they had room service, I didn't use it but it was nice to see it there. The pool was very nice and the atmosphere was really fun.

The ground were really nice.

I hated to leave.

Thanks for posting!

My DD and I have definitely found our new favorite resort! Just returned from a 9 night stay and I'm so glad we tried it.

Here are the reasons why we loved it:

1) As you can tell from the pictures, it is absolutely beautiful.

2) The bus service is far superior to that of the other resorts we've stayed at (Pop and POFQ) and also better than other resorts we've visited. I'd even venture to say I'd prefer it to the monorail. The experiences we had on the monorail this trip were not positive, with huge crowds and frequent delays. The only time the buses were packed were at MK closing and on a MK EMH morning. It was rare that anyone had to stand. We also never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus, it was usually more like 5 or less.

3) We loved our room location. I received the section I had requested - Casitas 4. I mainly chose this for the proximity to bus stop #2, and was so glad I did. We could see the bus stop from our room. Being stop #2, we were the first picked up and the first dropped off, a big plus when you are tired and hot. I did not find the walk to the Dig Site or the main bldg. overwhelming. It was a very pleasant walk. I much preferred being close to the bus stop than to the pool or food court, as we spent a lot more time travelling to and from the parks than walking to the pool or main bldg.

4) It's a quiet resort. It wasn't until the last 2-3 nights that we ever heard any noise from our neighbors, and this consisted of kids yelling while coming back to their room around 11:30 at night. Nothing to complain about.

5) Great pool. My DD loved it, of course.

Can't think of any negatives at all about CSR. We only ate at Pepper Market twice, so I can't critique it very well. I'm not sure that I would prefer its setup to a traditional food court, but it was fine.

Thanks to everyone that provided info about CSR that helped me choose to stay there. Whenever we return to WDW, it will be our first choice!

Thanks for posting!

Hi Mr. Coronado!!!
I know this has been asked before,,,and I have poured over
past threads,,,but can you help us?
When requesting a room,,,We would need one close to Pepper
Market,,,and to the Best BusStop...
"Best" meaning one that will not stop at all the other stops around
the complex..Does that exist in unison?
You work at Coronado don't you?
IF you still do,,,What are our chances of getting a request
when the only flight we can get out of Chicago in September
gets us to the resort at 8PM!?
What are your recommendations,,,
We will listen to whatever you have to say.

Coronado has been our dream destination for years now...
The PepperMarket is better than most Disney Counter Service.
The Hammocks are calling my name,,,,no place in the world
to be more relaxed with the true feeling of "vacation"

Your post cracked me up and I am going to let Buzz answer all your questions. I'm curious though why you couldn't get a flight that doesn't get in until 8:00. Were they all booked up? Because we have an 8:00 a.m. flight that gets to Orlando at 11:40.
