Gran Destino Tower or Caribbean Beach?

[e_yerger]

I currently have a reservation for Labor Day Weekend at Caribbean Beach. We like to stay deluxe but can't stomach the prices without a discount. Thoughts on switching to the new Gran Destino Tower? How are buses to & from Coronado Springs (I've never stayed there before). The only thing making me want to hold onto the Caribbean Beach reservation is the thought that the gondolas will be up and running (I would imagine they would have to running by SWGE). What would you do?!

I would switch to the tower, unless I had a preferred room at CBR.

Transportation by bus seems to get pretty good reviews at CSR.

Honestly, with Uber and Lyft, I don't worry much about transportation anymore. If the bus looks like it will be late, I'll pay $8 for an Uber to get to where I need to be pretty fast! Only transportation I would prefer is being able to walk, but that comes at a premium price.

CSR - best resort! Never a bus problem....except for the impatient who will always have a bus problem.

Skyliner opening announced for 9/29 so it won't be available for you.

Just returned from a stay at Gran Destino and it’s gorgeous. The views from our high floor room were amazing as were the views from the rooftop lounge. Felt deluxe at a moderate price.

Agreed! Buses were great all week last week. They have moved stop 1 in front of the tower and I’ve never had quicker bus service - even at the deluxe resorts.
