Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[dansdad]

Has the pool reopened yet?

Yup. Opened on 12-7.

There was an issue with the pool and it was closed yesterday but they had free arcade play

Wonderful, I think we will switch our reservation to Coronado from POP ... any thoughts?

It might not be too much of a price difference depending on when you go. Coronado has table services and a way nicer pool! Depending on price difference might definitely be worth upgrading!

 

[eandt]

Difference is only about $25 per night so think we are gonna make the switch.

I absolutely would switch at that price (and I love Pop!)

Thanks, we did make the switch .... actually came to about $34/night hopefully that is worth it.

We stayed one night at CSR last Friday and mostly liked the new rooms, but man those sinks are awkward. It was either risk banging my head on the shelf above them or drip water on the floor while washing my face.
The tower also didn't seem quite so massive and overpowering as I had feared, so that was reassuring.

Will the preferred rooms locations change when we enter through the new tower?

 

[Olaf63]

I don't believe so because they are the rooms closest to the convention center and QS dining.

I would assume it's going to add a bus stop to the rotation though.

Does anyone know if the construction has started on the restaurant/island in the middle of the lagoon? Or, if not, when it will begin? Of all the projects, that seems like it will be the biggest eyesore. Thank you!

We were at CSR in May and it had already started then. I would assume it's at least a building by now??

Oh! I couldn't find that anywhere in my online searches - thanks so much for letting me know! We will be there in February

Yes, its well under way. We were there in late October and it was framed and roofed, but no drywall yet. The walkways from out to it were also constructed with railings being added at the time. Personally, I thought the tower was more of an eyesore. Especially given the fact that when you pull into the resort, the first thing you see is this monstrosity and scrims/walls everywhere. The only negative with the restaurant construction is that it created more noise for the rooms closest to it. We were in Casitas 3 and on our walks to El Centro each morning, once we rounded the corner of our building, we could hear the work being done on it as early as 7am. This included Saturdays. I'm sure this will vary depending on the work that day, but it was notable to us.

Thanks for the info!! I’m hoping by late March it will be mostly internal construction with minimal construction impact

We have a NYE stay at Pop and Coronado just opened up!
Its 4 adults and I think Coronado might be better suited for us given the extra space. Construction doesn't really bug me.

 

[Tallent]

We're comin' HOME!! Just switched to 2 rooms at CSR--our fave. Can't wait!!

 

[Once.Upon.A.Time]

Just booked for the last week of February into early March. Very excited. Was torn between CSR and OKW, but decided to go with CSR to save about 400 bucks.

We just had a short stay at Coronado Springs earlier this month (December) and whereas the construction was noticeable, it did not affect our stay at all. We stayed at Cabanas and hardly heard any noise at all. Here are some photos of the new building, if that is of interest to anyone.
