My mother [68] and I [39] just got back last night from a quick trip to WDW. I hadn't been since I was a kid [in 1993 with my grandmother] and my mother hadn't been since my parents' honeymoon in 1980. My father and my husband had little interest in going so mom and I made it a mother/son trip. I take a travel journal whenever I travel and this trip was no exception so I'll post my thoughts here as I wrote them in my journal. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about Coronado Springs Resort and/or the general state of the parks/restaurants.

We arrived at Coronado Springs around 8pm this evening. What a gorgeous place! I'm so happy we decided to stay here instead of Pop Century. Originally they assigned us to room 7666 in the Ranchos section but we HAD to change form that unlucky number so they put us in 7582, still in Ranchos. I was hoping for Casitas but this is still lovely. We had dinner at Three Bridges which was very good. Thankfully the bar was first come/first serve because it was an hour wait for a table even at 8.30pm. The burger was decent but the fries with tomato aioli was the star of the dish!! Mom enjoyed her poke bowl as well. We went to Dahlia Lounge for after dinner drinks and dessert. Gorgeous views and the chocolate profiterole with chocolate mousse was delicious and beautifully presented "in the shape of Salvador Dali's favorite hat" according to our waitress. The views form the outdoor terrace on the 16th floor of Grand Destino Tower were great. What a perfect way to end the night.
