Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[jbrown22]

We are here! Got Casitas 4 close to the first bus stop.

On a very slow DME. Heading to the Pops the Coronado!

We are here in casitas 4 too. I really wanted to be near the dig site but casitas is really convenient to the front and there is a quiet pool very close. We ate at pepper market for dinner. My burger was okay and my dad said the ribs were really good.

does anyone know an exact date that the pool slide will be closed? I am coming on the 20th and my kids will be so upset if it is.

Business Class Lounge: This was nice, but I probably wouldn't do it again. The times were not easy to make (7-10am and 5-10pm) and we often missed it. There were only 3 tables in the lounge (with a few easy chairs as well) so we rarely had a seat and ate breakfast standing up (we could take it back to the room, but we were trying to eat on our way out to the park). The lounge attendants were lovely and shared a lot of interesting Disney info with us. Food was the same every night. I think if you enjoy beer/wine more than we do, you would get more out of it than we did So that was our experience - take it for what it's worth - hope it's helpful in some way! Hope everyone has a great trip!

Are there now water bottles available in BC or are they done away with still? I remember seeing somewhere the lounge no longer had them because guests were stocking up :-( . I'm hoping that maybe they are available by request & if need be, limited to one per guest per visit. If not, I'll be packing a stainless water bottle & filling with ice water.

I stayed at business class in September at Coronado Springs and I dont recall seeing water bottles. Everything else was great about the resort though, besides the lack of hallways!

Has anyone ever seen any exotic wildlife at this resort?

Does anyone know if Las Ventanas has gluten-free bread? My wife has a gluten allergy and I'm trying to decide which restaurant might work for lunch on our resort day. Thanks!

It may be the playground slide. As of right now 2 people have confirmed the waterside is open.

 

[no capes darling]

No water bottles.

Thanks! I'll pack one as planned!

Thanks for the info.! I certainly don't want to spread misinformation.
I forgot all about the playground.

As of yesterday, both water slide and playground were still open. We did both. No news of when they will close - I will see if I csn ask.

I'm not sure of Las Ventanas but a lot of the restaurants seen to carry the same gluten free roll. I think they are frozen and they microwave them. Siesta's at the main pool denotes what is gluten free on their menu. We ended up eating at the Pepper Market and my son who has gluten allergy had nachos and they have some bagged gluten free cookies.

Saw these at the Poly. They probably have them in more places.

Thanks! That's good to hear. I was actually wondering if the nachos were safe so I especially appreciate this reassurance.

Those actually look pretty yummy. I hope they have them at CSR.

 

[LemonNeko]

Sadly they didn't have those brownies at CSR, when we ate there. We did go to the Grand Floridian and ate at a quick service there and they had them. Not sure if it's only deluxes that carry them or random.
