Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[nyrebecca]

This will be our first trip staying at CSR. I noticed on the Disney site it calls one of the room categories Standard View - Business Class , is this the same as the business club level that is referred to on this thread?

Sorry if this has been asked before, and I appreciate the help.

Request a room in the Cabanas section, they are closest to the main pool.

Is it still true to call the resort directly about 10 days before arrival to make your room requests? Or are you guys all calling as you make the initial reservation?

Just wondering, we've never stayed at CSR before so I'm not super picky about where we wind up.

send them a fax about 2 weeks before arrival
Fax number: (407) 939-1001

We're staying 8/15 - 8/24. DD12, DH43 and me 47. We will be arriving around 10 a.m. We may or may not have a rental car. It will depend on what rate we can get. We will probably use the main pool 3 or 4 times during our stay. I plan to do laundry in the middle of our stay. We'll spend most of our time at the parks and eat our meals at the park. We'll probably only eat breakfast at the resort. I've been debating whether have breakfast in the food court or bring bagels and cereal to save money.

What location would you recommend?

Do the rooms have microwaves or toasters? If not, can we use our own toaster?

Do I need quarters for the washers and dryers or can you charge it to your magic band?

So if I want to be relatively close to El Central & the pool, I should ask for Cabanas 8a or 9b? still true? I also need a first floor room, so not sure which request they'd fulfill if any, but it can't hurt to ask.

I know my requests at all the Values & CBR by heart! I should have gone & checked out CBR on my last trip to know where I wanted to be.

No and no, but there are microwaves and toasters for guests to use at the food court.

Building 9b is now "business class" category at a premium rate so if you've booked standard level room, 9b would not be an option.

No and no, but there are microwaves and toasters for guests to use at the food court.

Yes and no. There are microwaves available at check in only, first come first serve basis. THere is also a microwave in the seating area of Cafe Rix

Washers and dyers are 2.00 a load. Machines take quarters. I found the dryer real hot and didn't need to do extra time. It ran for about an hour.

Will you bring a pop up toaster? We brought fans and extension cords with us.One on the nightstand and the other we put on a cooler next to the bed by the door.

We only ate breakfast one time at pepper mill since we ate in the BC lounge. Breakfast was roughly 10.00 for a meal. My husband and daughter split a large omelet with home fries.

First time staying at CSR in November due to the FD offer. We have always stayed at POFQ, so I am anxiously learning as much as I can about CSR. Thank you soo much for this fabulous thread!

One question I have is, how would you get to and from the Boardwalk for dinner at Flying Fish? Would I take a bus to HS and then take a Boardwalk resort bus?

Another question, we are going with my DH, two girls, my mom, and my 'adopted' mom. We are going for my mom's 80th birthday! I noticed that there is spa on site..how much (ballpark) would a pedi cost? Also, is there a menu anywhere that I can look at? Thought it might be fun for the girls to get pedis to celebrate my mom's birthday.

Thank you soo much!

About the Boardwalk...we're going over there one night too. I think you could do the HS route, though I'm not sure if there's a bus or if you have to take the boat. I think you can even walk. We're probably going to take a cab. We're also staying there in November, first trip! Hope your trip is great and your mom has a fun birthday!

We are here now and the resort is really nice. The buses were PACKED last night going to Magic Kingdom and back to the resort. However we did not have to wait long for a bus.

The only complaint I have is the sensor thermostat. I have put in bypass but it keeps resetting while we are sleeping. We like it cool while sleeping but when you are not in bypass mode it gets really warm at night.

We took a few cabs for restaurants last year and it turned out great. It might be fun to take the bus to HS and then walk or take the boat to dinner. When your done you can pick up a cab, there are many in front of Boardwalk. I think we paid between $10-20 with tips depending on how far.

This is a dumb question (and a serious one, not meant in a judgmental way), but don't the ceiling fans help during the night? I was looking forward to having a ceiling fan for exactly this reason. I've always had troubles with this same issue at the values but never deluxe resorts and I assumed it was because I kept the ceiling fan on at night (like I do at home during the summer months). I was really looking forward to staying comfortable during the night with the use of the ceiling fan on our upcoming stay at CSR.

It does. It is just what you are used to. When I woke last night it was 75 in the room. We like it around 72 with a fan. Just 3 degrees I know but after a day in a hot park I like to be cold in my room.
