Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[LSUmiss]

Unfortunately this tower was meant for conventioneers and not families.

That’s disappointing. I find more & more aspects of wdw are not geared toward families with young children.

As a couple in their 40s with no kids, I can promise you almost all of WDW is geared towards young children.

Besides, it's only the Tower that has no bathtubs, the rest of the resort is very family friendly.

I was watching a video of tower room and he showed the evacuation map on the door.

I TOTALLY FORGOT about that, can someone take a picture of that. It will have the room numbers on it then all we need to do is know what floor number we are on.

Thx!

Here is the pic from the back of our room, 9257 on the 12 th floor:

That’s an odd shaped room. What kind was it?

 

[trishadono]

The shape in black looks like all the deluxe rooms I have seen so far online.

Anyone know if Rix Sports Bar and Grill is part of Disney Dining Plan as a Table Service Restaurant?

Yes. 1 TS credit.

 

[trishadono]

Ah ha, this is the other version of the deluxe suite/aka the triangle version.

I like this one better.

Actually, it wasn’t that long ago that we traveled to wdw as a couple in our late 30s without a kid. I didn’t develop that perspective until recently when I traveled to wdw with a toddler. It’s not as conducive to ppl with young children as you may expect...long fp lines, long security lines, long waits for transportation, etc. And, what I meant is that lately it seems when something nice & new is built, it’s aimed at adult travelers. I find that disappointing.

I disagree, but such is life!

I guess my only point is I’ve done it both ways & it gives me a new perspective. It’s disappointing when you realize one of your favorite places is no longer really designed for you.

Thanks @trishadono. I didn't realize there are 2 styles until now. I like this one best, too.

I tell people all the time WDW is no place for little kids. They look at me like I have 3 heads....LOL.

Disney made it known from day one that this tower was geared towards convention guests. They never at any point tried to hide that. CSR has been our go to resort for years and I've always felt it was the most adult orientated resort. Although kids do really love the pool area. It's probably the 2nd best pool on property next to Beach Club.

This is the one we had! Loved it!

I am going to emaill dss and request the triangle version. LoL hope they know what I mean.

Unless you bring your own curtain whoever is showering is visible to anyone using the sinks or entering/exiting toilet.

Just like any other hotel room in any other hotel, mostly.

That’s disappointing. I find more & more aspects of wdw are not geared toward families with young children.

We took my 3 year old nephew and 4 year old niece. With regard to the rooms with no tubs, we stayed in one and the kids actually loved the shower. It worked out fine and was not an issue for us. So while the lack of a tub may be a deal breaker for some with small kids, its not necessarily geared towards adults since it can work for anyone. Its really just a preference thing.

But, I don't disagree that Disney is challenging for those with small kids. This is the exact reason my parents waited until I was 10 to take me for the first time. Older kids hold up better to the challenges of heat, long lines, waits, etc. If you take younger kids, as we did with my niece and nephew, you have to manage expectations and go at a slower pace. It may not be the best for maximizing your time or dollar, but its the only way to make it not so challenging.

So are odd number rooms standard view, and even numbers water view?

Thanks!

If you can't see what I'm talking about I won't explain it. Beating a dead horse really. I was asked about a comment from almost a month ago.

i just really think the tower should have their own dedicated bus service separate from the rest of the resort

Why should the tower have its own bus service instead of bus service being increased around the resort loop in general? The tower is not a separate resort, it's a component part of Coronado. Tower guests should not be treated in a preferential manner over other resort guests just because they want room doors that open to hallways instead of humidity.
