Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[nilla]

Are there any rooms facing DHS that you can see the fireworks outside your room?

We could see them from Cabanas 8 two years ago. This is probably true for building 9 as well.

I was sooo happy to see that different room types opened up at the Coronado this morning. It was only at 7am and they were gone by 9 but that is all I needed to change my room type. So excited that I finally got what I wanted. I hope others were able to also get what they needed.

Curious, What difference room types and for when are you referring to?

Probably a conference releasing a room block.

Good point. On that note, does anybody have the conference schedule for 2016?

I can tell you it's not complete, though. The Gartner IT convention has a block of rooms in October, and it's not listed. Buzz gets what he can based on public info.

I keep calling Disney to see if any special offers for my week(oct25),but still nothing. When I saw the post before about changing rooms, I thought maybe business class was available for less then rack rate! It's not!

I was stuck with a standard room to get the free dining. I always get water view at this hotel so I was thrilled to see it open up. They had all types of room open up even though it was for a short time.

I got it for Nov. 17-25th which is always perfect because usually a conference is just ending the day we get there and then there is nothing going on for Thanksgiving Week. It is nice and peaceful there. Also when we arrive there are no xmas decorations set up at the hotel but by the third day of our trip it is all decked out for xmas.

They never have big conferences the week we go. I think they are just releasing rooms here and there. I was checking at least eight times a day since free dining launched and then boom today it showed up just for a couple of hours. I hate when they tease people like this.

I'm guessing it's not a huge block of rooms this year:

Venue
Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2016 will take place at the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Walt Disney World Swan, Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts and Disney's Boardwalk. A full day of industry-specific insights kicks off on Sunday, October 16, at 9 a.m., with additional industry content throughout the week. Please plan your travel arrangements accordingly.

But look at the actual hotel LIST. Gartner's pretty huge, and I suspect CSR does have room involvement.

Do the Business Class rooms have a good location in proximity to the pool and/or main building?

 

[bigbabyblues]

Love the time board! Is that at all four stops?

We're at CSR now, and bus stop 4 (Cabanas) has a board, but it hasn't been turned on when we were there. The one at stop 2 was working this morning.

Best guaranteed building at CSR for both. Key word is guaranteed.

Also look at the map of the resort, building 9b is business class. I choose to stay there since I have tried buildings 3,4,5,7a and 7b. I found this a great overall location for food busses and pools.

I was watching a video on YouTube and the people in the video show their room. It looks different then the other rooms I have seen and I wonder if this is a mock up room. The difference I see is the bathroom/closet area. It is a king room so maybe that is why it's different? The room is in building 1, room 1244. Start the video at 6:30

Edit: I removed the video because the room is not a test room.

Huh. That looks different than any rooms I have seen.

One other differences I see, besides the obvious bathroom/closet area, is the crown molding like what is in the suites.

It looks like it's part of a suite.
