Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[MonaMN]

I've heard rumors of some refurb happening at CSR soon, but I don't see anything in the first posts here. Anyone know any more details on when or what may be done?

No word on when. CSR is due for a refurb, and it's likely to include some construction (bathroom remodels).

I think they have some 'test' rooms setup now. There won't be any photos going around until there is an official selection (I think)..I have no idea when that would be. It's just the information I've gleaned from reading around. I also have no idea if any guests are chosen to see the 'test' rooms.

Hi Everyone! I read back several pages just wanted to check if there is anything down for repair right now at the hotel? We will be there in a week and on our last trip they decided to close the bridge at CBR with little to no notice which made us have to walk a lot further then we planned not a huge deal except for those late nights you are exhausted and can't get to your room fast enough.

If you have even a single YA child under 18, Disney will go out of its way to help make sure you have connecting rooms.

Thanks for the info! I have DD14, DS16, DD19, DD27, and her boyfriend, plus DH and me. We want to have DH, me, DD14, and DS 16 in one room, and then DD19, DD27, and her boyfriend in the other room. I hope they will accommodate us!

Hi all, We will be at CSR from 7/16-7/23. Which means it will be HOT! So we have planned one afternoon to go to the pool and lounge around. My kids are DD14 and DS16. I looked at the pictures of the dig site pool and it looks like there is a ball court nearby? Is that basketball? If so, do people play or are there balls around to use? My kids are basketball fanatics and might enjoy shooting around or a pick up game (especially if they can jump in the pool afterwards!). Are there other entertainment options from noon-5pm for teenagers? Also, from looking at the pictures, it appears as if no pool toys are allowed, such as noodles or floats. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!!

That info was not correct. Disney will do what they can but sometimes they simply don't have connecting rooms to give out.

You can use a pool noodle in the pools. No bigger rafts or floats though. Sorry I'm no help on the ball court. Didn't notice it or look for it.

We were at CSR 3 years ago and had to walk to the main building to refill our mugs. I have seen posts about the pool snack bar having a refill station but it was not available when we were there. Is this only seasonal? We were there in November and will be returning in November this year. It would be so convenient to get refills and breakfast from the pool area. Does anyone know if the snack bar is year round or just during peak times? Thanks.

We were there in October of last year & DH got his mug refilled at the pool bar several times. The only thing I'm not sure of was whether or not it was self-serve or if the bartender filled it...maybe someone else can chime in.

It is not self serve, bar tender has to refill the mug.

I thought that was the case but I no longer drink soda so I never went up to the bar to refill the mug, he did.

It would have been available while you were there. There is no self serve station, you have to ask to have your mug filled.

There is a beach volleyball court that always seems to be in use. I don't recall seeing a basketball court.

Thanks everyone!

Did they affect your trip negatively? Starting to wonder if I should take a chance and switch to mid-December trip..

We have a Preferred King with FD booked at CSR (11/28-12/6) at the moment.

They really didn't. They were a little rowdy at the quiet pool but I have a young child so I'm use to noise...

Hello all. I am new to this so bear with me. My husband and I are planning to come Sept 5-10 and staying at CSR for the first time and really excited about it. He hasn't been to Disney in 30 years so I am excited to show him all the changes. For all of you that are veterans at staying at CSR, I have a very strange question. How are the beds? Are they soft, hard, good? What is your take. I appreciate it.

There's beach volleyball, but I don't think there's a basketball court. I mean, if there is, we somehow missed it on our last five stays

Think "baby bear in Goldilocks"

Not overly hard or soft. They're nice, though.
