Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[slzer0]

Is there an updated list of park fireworks we can see from CSR?

has the November movie schedule been released?

Can I still pick up purchases after checkout?

Planning on MK on 11/17.
Will check out 11/18, go to AK, then come back after park closing for pepper market dinner and to get CSR before heading home. I hear purchases can take 24h? That would mean those MK purchases would arrive after checkout?

You're not supposed to have packages sent the day before check-out because they're not guaranteed to be there. The cut-off for shipping the packages to the resorts is pretty early (1:00/2:00-ish, depending on the park and gift shop). You might want to use the front-of-the-park delivery service where they send your packages to a pick-up location at the park entrance and you pick them up the same day.

ETA: You might check with Panchito's earlier in your stay to see what they say, whether you could pick it up after check-out and what would happen if the package didn't make it on time.

Thanks
I'll check with panchitos but the front of park service is nice too, I haven't heard of that.

You can always see Illuminations from CSR from anywhere where you have a site line over the Cabanas buildings. The best views are from infront of Casitas 4 or ideally from the 4 th floor of Casitas 4 facing the lagoon.

You can see any of the MK fireworks from the 4th floor parking lot side of Casitas 4 and 5.

People were reporting great views of the DHS Frozen fireworks, but those won't be on anymore in November.

I haven't seen a November movie schedule yet.

We have a water view room booked with free dining for Nov 20-27, and wondered how difficult it is to upgrade to a BC room? I gather there are only a certain amount of rooms available with the free dining deal? Our TA says she has been trying to get us an upgrade, but so far no luck. She was not super helpful with the room information and choices, so we kinda just went with it. I'm sure we're going to have a wonderful time not matter what, but I was just curious. This is our first time staying on property, (many trips off property) so we are complete newbies with all of this. Thanks!

Is it possible to request extra luggage racks? We don't unpack into the dressers and would like to keep suitcases off the floor.

Other than the frozen event, does HS not have fireworks?

DH has showings of Fantastic in the evenings. The effects really aren't visible from outside the amphitheatre.

If BC rooms are all booked up then they're full, unless someone cancels their reservation then there's nothing your TA could do.

Even if a room opens up it might not be part of the rooms alotted for free dining. We booked our BC room w/FD the day it opened to Disney Visa holders and by the end of the day the BC rooms were sold out -- we had a friend try to book. I don't think they offer every room with the free dining promotion.

For the record, my TA didn't even know BC existed. I did A LOT of research and knew exactly what I wanted and just told her to book it because I didn't feel like sitting on hold for hours on opening day.

Back from our stay at CSR. Check in was easy. Mousekeeping did a great job and kept us supplied with plenty of towels and toiletries. Meal at Maya Grill was excellent. Our longest wait all week for a bus was 12 minutes, with no standing at all! The alligator joined us for drinks at Laguna bar by the lake. We were just relaxing, when all at once a big splash from the lake. Water hit our legs, we looked down and there he was! What a surprise for our 36th wedding anniversary! Was pretty big. Approx.5 feet long. The groundskeepers were watching him closely as he swam in the lake the next morning. I am willing to bet he was escorted to a new location by the time we got home. Third trip to CSR and still love this beautiful resort.

Oops! Didn't realize my ticker is still on. I've forgotten how to get rid of it. Any help is appreciated.

Oops! Didn't realize my ticker is still on. I've forgotten how to get rid of it. Any help is appreciated.

Go up to "User CP" on the far left side of the dark blue strip across the top of the screen. Click. It brings you to your user functions, down the left side. Click "Edit Signature" and in the edit screen, delete the lines for your ticker. It should start with and end with [url]. Hope this h...d about being back there in 18 days! :cool1:

My family and I are throwing around the idea of taking a trip at the end of February. I've been to WDW a handful of times, and have always stayed at value resorts (most recently Pop Century, which I loved!) I noticed the special offer for resorts during the time frame we may be going, and I thought the Coronado Springs or maybe the Caribbean would be a good choice for a change? Has anyone here stayed at values and then gone to the Coronado on a different trip? Is it better in your opinion? Would love some specific thoughts on this!

We do the same thing. Last year we asked for an extra luggage rack and had no problem getting one. I called when we got to our room and then we went out for a quick dinner. It was in the room when we got back. I think I also asked for extras towels at the same time which were also left for us.

You can see from our signature we started out in value resorts and loved them. However, we tried CSR and we are hooked. My two girls love it! They actually requested that we go back to CSR so I would recommend it. As far as is it better, we think so but you can't go wrong with either. We like CSR better because the rooms are a bit larger and the theme is so nice.

Thank you for your advice! I thought the theming looked really cool! I really hope we can make this trip, we went in September and stayed at Pop Century. I have been itching to go back since the day we got home lol

We saw him in early September....
