Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[ADisneyQueen]

Does anyone know what fountain drinks are available currently? We haven't been there in 2 years and I'm not sure if I should get the mugs. I'm hoping the sugar free lemonade is still there.

Could you expand on this point?
Thanks

The Soda dispensers at Pepper Market are very modern, and use RFID chips to tie your cup into the refill system. You can "only" get a few refills per cup. The team dispensers aren't tied into that system.

Didn't see it answered, is there coffee at the dig site?

Yes

It was there during our last stay in Dec. 2014.

I believe the refills are unlimited, but you have to wait 15 mins in between fills.

15 minutes
That's nuts for someone really eating but I see why they would do that

This isn't exclusive to CSR. It's all the RFID refillable stations at all resorts from what I understand.

I don't drink much pop so it was't an issue.

I heard it was only 2-3 minutes between refills.

As of last week at CBR, it was 2 minutes. My parents were there and my Dad likes to time these types of things. The LCD display will even tell you how many more seconds you have to wait to refill again if you put your mug on the tray too soon.

Yes we saw lots of alligators

We saw one swimming in MK by Tom Sawyers Island last time we were there.

We are going in June and can now do online check in. We have 2 rooms, so our major priority is that they be either connecting or adjacent. Our travel agent made this request when she made the reservation. Would doing online check in help with this or do I need to call the resort? Any suggestions are much appreciated!!

If your TA added that request, there is nothing you need to do. Doing online check in will not have any affect on whether your requests are met. I will suggest that you skip the room request section during online check in. There are conflicting reports that if you have phoned in requests and then make requests during online check in your phoned in requests will be erased. Like I said, there's conflicting reports on whether that will happen or not. But I wouldn't want to take the chance.

Tonight is our last night at CSR. We've enjoyed it. We're in Ranchos 6B, facing externally on the bottom floor. Haven't seen any rats. We have seen two adorable bunnies every day that live right outside our building. For the longest we thought it was one (he's now named Pedro, in case you run into him. Pass it on.) It's been a highlight to run into them coming and going. We thought about getting RFID cups, but with our schedule, it wasn't practical. Since it's just the two of us we got some water and brought it back to the room and kept any leftovers in the fridge. It worked pretty well.

One thing to note is that you can utilize the busses to get to El Centro and back. Theme park busses start with stop 2, then go to 3,4 and then 1 (El Centro) before leaving for the parks. Downtown Disney busses start with 1, and then go to 2,3, and 4 before going to DD.

Hi Everyone! Great thread! I didn't have a chance to go back through and look at every page, but are there any updates about conventions coming up? We are staying here in a couple of weeks and I'd love to know. Thank you all!

Has anyone seen cartons of Lactaid brand milk at CSR? We bought some small cartons of it two years ago. I think they were in Rix cafe. We had never seen them for sale in other resorts.

I don't know about CSR specifically. But we have bought it at CBR, POR, POFQ, BC, BWI, and all 3 All Stars so I think your odds are pretty good.

Thank you. It was not at POP or AOA the last few years and we thought maybe it was something special at CSR.

the paper RFID cups get 3 refills within an hour. After 3 refills or an hour (whichever comes first) the machine will no longer dispense soda. The refillable mugs however are unlimited refills. Both paper cups & mugs have a 2 minute time limit between fills.
