Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[Drusilla]

We have a BC room for our upcoming stay at CSR. Is there water in the lounge that we can each grab a bottle on our way to the parks each day so I don't have to order a case to have in our room?

Then it's OK to refill the bottles with water at QS self serve stations throughout the day, right?

I did not see any bottles of water in the pics my DD took last week. I thought I read somewhere that they stopped stocking them because too many people were taking out armloads of them.

There are not many self serve drink stations in the parks. All of the QS places that have soda fountains will gladly give you free cups of ice water though.

No, there are no longer water bottles thanks to folks grabbing enough for a full day at the park, each.

Do they sell cases of water at CSR? Just thinking it may be less of a hassle than ordering if the price isn't too outrageous.

 

[Jarvis23]

They sell cases of mini waterbottles (8oz) at Panchitos.

Do you know specifics? How many in a case and how much?

 

[Jarvis23]

I believe there were 20 bottles for around $16

You're probably better off ordering water bottles and snacks from Garden Grocers or Amazon.

Ask at the counter of the gift shop about gallons of water.

I buy distilled at the counters for $3. (medical need) They keep it in the back. Though last time they were out and had to bring some over from another resort.

I have been told that they also sell drinking water in the same gallon size for $3.

I only need some of that gallon so I use the rest for coffee. It makes the coffee taste better so win win. I don't drink it plain as distilled water can be flat but it is actually totally drinkable.

I bring a refillable water bottle for the parks and refill it either at self service or I go up and ask for a cup of ice or ice/water. Last trip I also brought my 36 oz Nalgene bottle and filled it at the food court and kept it in my room fridge to drink in the room.

Any experience with this? I finally managed to get a lunch fast pass for Be
Our Guest. A week later I received a e-mail invitation from Disney to use fast pass for this. The original pass does show on the BOG Lunch website so I think I will leave well enough alone. If anyone knows of problems with this please let me know. Thanks.

Can anyone give me their experience on ordering through Amazon and if it is a hassle to have to get their package from the convention center and how much the charge is? Trying to decide if I should go with Garden Grocer or amazon. Amazon is much cheaper, but I don't want to spend hours trying to find my package either.

I just picked up 2 packages from the convention center and it was quick and easy. 5 minutes in and out.

How far in advance of our trip should I order? We arrive very late on a Monday night.

We use GG and usually order 2-3 weeks ahead. You can pick the day and time of delivery. I usually have it delivered a few hours before our scheduled arrival.

Does anyone know how long they will hold packages at the resort? My cruise group is ordering shirts - but we are coming in from Korea. I'd rather have the shirts delivered to the resort, but don't know how long they will be willing to hold a package for us.

Just finished our 10 day stay at Coronado Springs. We had an excellent trip! Mousekeeping was very good. Always had plenty of clean towels & the room was clean. We didn't get towel animals but that was fine with us. And I just arranged my kids toys differently before leaving the room each day and my kids got excited to see what the toys did that day! Lol. We were in Casitas 4, right in front of the quiet pool. There were lots of conventioners there in the evenings but the noise was not bad at all. They were never around during the day. It was nice being in Casitas because you could walk the entire way to the main building under some sort of cover overhead so even in the rain we could get around. It wasn't far from the dig site either. A very doable walk for my 2 1/2 year old & 4 year old.

The food at Pepper Market was good. We didn't eat there much but last night we had dinner there. I got the roasted chicken and my husband had the BBQ ribs. Very large portions. The kids shared with us with no problem.

The pool is amazing! The play area for the kids was fun. We didn't use the hot tub but it's huge! And the food & bar by the pool were good.

We had a car so didn't use buses but the location of the resort for driving was great! 5 minutes to everything except MK which was maybe 10-15 minutes away. And we could see all fireworks from the lagoon! The frozen fireworks to our right, the Illuminations ones to our left. That was the best part! Many great viewing areas to see fireworks from the resort. I've stayed at POR a few times and I really liked Coronado much better. I will definitely stay here again without hesitation.

We booked a bounce back for next September. I'm going to try Caribbean Beach Resort next year.

Now headed to AKL - Kidani where we rented points for a Savannah view studio. Only 3 full days left of our trip.

Just checked in. Requested cabanas and got it, I can't believe it since we have two rooms. We are in 8B. We requested over the phone with a CM, not with online check in, I don't know if that makes a difference. The resort is beautiful, we just picked up our mugs in pepper market and the CM was super friendly, as well as at check in. We are super excited to relax here and have dinner at maya grill tonight before heading to MK TOMORROW.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how much drawer space there is in the standard rooms? Will mouse keeping bring more hangers for the closet? We are staying for 14 nights over Christmas and will have a lot of clothes (especially my tween daughter

Just didthis is my favorite resort by far, it's beautiful. As we were walking around this afternoon, a CM on one of those carts picked us up,and gave us a tour around the entire resort. We then had one of the best meals ever at WDW at Maya grill. While we were finishing dinner, the kids went back and watched frozen fireworks from the beach and said you could see them quite well.The CMs we have encountered here are some of the best. Hope the rest of the trip goes just as well.
