Staying in Coronado Springs updated room - questions welcome

[ScienceDad]

I will be staying in one of updated Coronado Springs rooms (currently only building 7A) for the next couple days and will be happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

If you see anyone that might know, ask how long till the next building they are working on (I think it's 8A) is completed. I am headed down in 4 weeks & was hoping for a refurbished room, but I only could book a Waterview and 7A doesn't have water view. Thanks!!

We check in on July 12. Would LOVE it if they had 2 buildings refurbished

Ditto @sbrost13 but I doubt it'll be done. We're July 5th, also in a waterview.

I will be sure to get some but will have to wait until they clean the room and before my 2 year old destroys it.

I will try to ask both a cast member and a construction worker if possible tomorrow.

Do these new rooms sleep 5 people now? Have always wanted to stay there but we are a family of 5 and don't fit currently in a regular room.

Unfortunately they are still only able to accommodate 4 full size people. If you have an infant they could sleep in a pack and play or something similar. Wish I had better news.

What room (water view, standard, preferred) did you book? and do you think it upped our chances of a preferred?

Did you do online check in? or wait to check in when you got there?

Was your room random or did you do something to get the refurb?

Standard room
No, building 7a is the only building that has been updated as it is about as far away as possible from El Centro

I did online check in.

I called the resort a week before my arrival as requested building 7a. They can't always fulfill these requests but they came through this time.

At least two months for cabana 8a to be completed.

Wow! Swanky McSwanksville. I like the updates, as different as they are.

Question -- how are you finding the hard floors? There's been chatter about the hard floors being an issue in new refurbs due to sound travelling better than ever.

I haven't noticed too much. However my wife commented that she has heard the neighbours more than other resorts we've stayed in. This is our first time at Coronado so I can't compare directly at this resort.

The room is very nice and even the TV is larger than any room we've been in and quite nice.

So how is the fridge?
I thought there were talk about it being more of a cooler than an actual refrigerator.

It looks like a wine cooler or something. I noticed when we first got here it wasn't very cold but I turned it all the way up and have kept water and milk for several days as they have been cold. Certainly don't plan on keeping anything frozen though. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

I would really like to know if they still have a blowdryer in the bathroom.Thanks.
