Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[crb60]

Would the room refurbishments beginning in July have any negative effects on my stay Sept 25-Oct 2 except for a chance that I may get a refurbed room or not? I've never dealt with a refurb before during a stay.

Been having a rough couple months, and really missing Disney, and Coronado Springs, as silly as it might sound.
I was looking at the Disney Parks merch and decided I wanted something specific to CS. Didn't see much I liked, but found on ebay a plush Mickey Mouse in a bellhop outfit carrying a bag with the Coronado Springs logo on it! It had an authentic Disney tag on it, but I've never seen anything like it before. It was $15, with free shipping, so I bought it It was too cute not to, and it made me feel a little less sad tonight.

What's the coffee like in the room? I have to have my coffee and don't really want to have to go out and get it in the mornings. Do they have the pods?

The new Joffery's coffee is better than the Nescafe

Most Disney rooms use the Cuisinart coffee makers. It brews one or two cups at a time, depending on your resort. Cuisinart uses coffee pods. Disney provides regular coffee, decaf and Twinings tea bags. We need our coffee, too. Have fun!

Can you see any fireworks from the resort?

I don't drink coffee, but I've read on the boards MANY times that if you're going to make coffee, use bottled water. The Florida water tastes funny to most people.

You can see the really high Illuminations fireworks from the Casitas side of the lagoon. The best view is from the 4th floor of Casitas 4 facing the lagoon.

You can also see the high Wishes ones from MK from the parking lot side of the 4th floor of Casitas 4.

It was reported last summer that you could see some of the Frozen fireworks from DHS from the Cabanas bridge, but we weren't there while Frozen was happening.

The illuminations view isn't nearly as good as from CBR, but still cool if you're at the resort at fireworks time. You can hear the music if the wind is blowing the right way.

They will close one building at a time and the work is inside the rooms, so it should effect anything other than that building being unavailable.

I missed the post on the refurb - are they just doing a soft refurb or re-designing the rooms?

I'm curious, too. We'll be there in November and I'm wondering if it will be worth trying to request a refurbed room.

According to Buzz's site, its a full room refurb

Anyone know the timeline of the refurb and if business class rooms are included?

Yes, all resorts sell distilled by the gallon in the gift shops and we use that. We also bring Starbucks via packets since we are coffee snobs and don't like the pods.

I have to laugh - my family and I are like the official resort refurb chasers - staying at resorts just as they are about to refurb or as they're doing so, never right after to enjoy the 'newness' LOL! But at least this time we'll finally get queen beds regardless!

I was told by a CSR CM that the rehab is starting in the Cabanas.

I hope this is one of those times a CM is actually correct. Hoping 9B is done by October!

 

[lovndisney12]

How long is rehab - what is the anticipated completion date?

Hi, this will be my first trip to Disney and I'm having trouble understanding how charges are handled at the front desk. Can someone please explain? Do I give them a certain amount of money deposit and am given a remaining balance? I read somewhere tips can somehow be transferred to the desk. Please explain this for me? thanks for the help!
