My Disney Birthday Wish Came True! – June 2025 Trip Report (Updated 6/12!)

[VAtink]

Woo hoo! New trip report. I'm still sad our trips didn't overlap a little so we could meet in person. (Although, we DO live in the same state. LOL) I'm glad your travel day went well. Can't wait to hear about all the birthday events.

Yeah, it's always fun to meet fellow Dis-ers while there, maybe one of these days our trips will align!

Thank you!! It would have been nice to have my own row, oh well! Yeah, taking the Minnie Van from the airport is awesome, just another reason we love CL!

Day 1, Part 2: Coronado Springs Club Level Deluxe Suite!​

We last left off pulling into Coronado Springs!

The Minnie Van driver helped me bring my bags inside, mostly because I left my tip money in the bag he threw in the back so we had a delightfully awkward moment of me telling him he couldn’t leave until I found my wallet since I had to give him more money! So he decided to take my other bags inside while I dug around for the money to tip him to make it slightly less awkward.

Once inside, and Minnie Van driver tipped, I went to the check-in desk. They got me all checked in, and my room was ready, yay. But I did have to ask about club level access since the CM checking me in didn’t notice that I was club. Once she realized she took me upstairs to check-in a second time.

I’m glad she did since my magic band wasn’t working on the door to the lounge at that point.

There was a line to check-in up there, so it was a bit of a wait. Finally, a CM freed up and took me over to a table to finish checking me in and verify my magic bands would work on the door. She also ran to get me a welcome POG-mosa. I LOVE those things!

Even though my room was ready, I decided to stay in the lounge to finish my drink and just take a breather. I feel like from getting to my home airport through to arriving at the hotel I’m in a constant state of stress, so it’s nice to arrive and just breath finally.





The lounge was lovely, I really liked how large it was, and the views were stunning! Although, similar to the lounge at the Beach Club, this one always felt a bit chaotic. No matter what time of day it was usually pretty crowded in there, and there seemed to be a lot more little kids running around than in other lounges we’ve been to. Not to say I don’t expect to see kids, it is Disney after all, but this lounge seemed like it was mostly families with younger kids, while other ones we’ve been to have been a mix of families with kids and adult only parties. I felt a bit like the odd one out being the only adult only party there!

After finishing up my drink I gathered all my luggage and made my way downstairs to my room. I was on the third floor, so a long way from the club lounge, BUT about a week before the trip I saw on my MDE app that I had been upgraded to a deluxe suite from just a standard room, so I couldn’t complain!

The room was nice, although it was odd having that much space for myself!





Love this little detail!















I also put together this video:

It was also weird there was no window in the bedroom, although I quickly realized that was a good thing since the room was directly above the bus stop, so in the living room I could hear the beeping of the buses constantly with the windows, but in the bedroom I didn’t hear a thing.

Next up: Lunch and Dinner at Chronos Club!​

Wow, the suite is really gorgeous! Too bad you didn't have more than a night to enjoy it. The only times I've ever been upgraded was for one-night stays as well ... think it's a thing. My CL experience is very limited so I hadn't considered that the lounge might not be on the same floor as my room. Is that common? Talk about spoiled, I'm sure the elevator is easy enough. I'm somewhat surprised there were so many kids in the lounge. Yes, it's Disney but I primarily think of it as a convention resort, guess the secret is out on all the great dining and amenities!

The room was really nice, I was surprised how big it was! I also loved the decor, the tile in the half bath on the wall was beautiful, I want to copy it in my house!

Yeah, it was a bit annoying the room was so far from the lounge. There are a few resorts where the suites are not on the same floor as the lounge, like the BC/YC. Coronado is a bit of an outlier where a lot of the club rooms, even the standard rooms, aren't on the same floor as the lounge. I'm not sure why they set it up like that, but in the end it wasn't that big of a deal, the elevators were fast, and my room was right by them, so it wasn't a ton of walking to get there.

I was definitely surprised at how many young kids were in the lounge, especially since the food didn't seem very kid friendly there. However they do seem to cater to kids in other ways, like they have a toy bin with tons of toys free to use. Plus I'm guessing since it's relatively a low price for a club room (I think with the discount I only paid like $575) it's a bit more popular with families since they can "save money" eating a few meals at the lounge so in the end the price isn't much more than a regular moderate resort room where they have to buy meals for everyone each day.

That room is gorgeous!!! I keep thinking about trying CS tower. I was actually going to do it for Thanksgiving but alas, that trip is not going to happen now. I'll just look at your pictures and dream a little!

That is a really nice room. I love the shower. But I do agree that it is a little weird not having a bedroom window.
