The *NEW* Coronado Springs FAQ Thread

[Mercy]

cjeong... we have a similar situation. We are me, DH and 2 DS's 17 & 14. I purchased a twin aerobed which DS 14 will sleep on. It's pretty comfortable and has come in handy in several situations since I bought it.

Good idea. May be a problem though - we're coming from Australia. Not much room in our luggage.

Thanks, for the help.

CSR offer roll-a-way beds once again

 

[cjeong]

Excellent! I'll check it out. Will CS charge if I was to hire this from elsewhere?

Thanks.

Just back from Coronado Springs and going through severe Disney withdrawl. The resort is just as wonderful as my first trip, and I'd be happy to answer any questions or share any information!

When I spoke to ABBF, they told me they had been doing this for years. I rented a fridge from them and they delivered it to CSR. The fridge was left in the baggage room. They called me on my cell and then told me the number rack it was left in. When I checked-in, I just let them know and the bellmen got it for me. The box had a built-in handcart so it was no problem. The bellmen delivered it to our room and it was great! No delivery charge, just a tip. Then you have to have it back by 11:00am to the baggage room by the return day.

Ooops! Sorry, I didn't see where you were traveling from. Buzz's suggestion looks like it will work!

Did the twin size air mattress fit comfortably in the room where you werent tripping over it at night? We come from a tall family and were thinking of putting one of the twins on the air mattress on a rotating basis

I'm thinking about booking a stay here for a couple of days in late October. My DD (7) really wants to stay here after seeing so many great pictures on Buzz2001's and EpcotFan's websites.
My question is to get a view of the beautiful lion fountain would I need to book a waterview room? Or are there any standard rooms I could request to have a view of the lion fountain.
TIA,
Erin

Just back from a recent trip where we used A Baby's Best Friend to rent a frige. We rented a frige for our 8 day stay. $54.00 for the 8 days! They delivered it to CSR and left it in the luggage area. It is tag with your name and comes on a small hand cart. When you check in, just tell bell services that you have a frige and they will deliver it to your room along with you luggage. It is well packed. When you trip is done, just return it to the same spot. The frige worked great. We were able to freeze water bottles over night for our trips to the parks. That was great since the heat was a killer. They have other stuff as well.

Just so you know, you can BUY a refrigerator at WalMart for less than that - then you get to keep it. If you keep the box it comes in, you can treat it like luggage, if you're flying. There's a lot of things listed at that website which might be a lot cheaper to just buy outright (like that camp cot which Buzz posted a picture of). Just a thought...

Does anyone remember when Mercy is coming home? I know she posted on the 10th from DQ. I hope she's okay!

I can't remember how long her trip was going to be.

Does anyone know of a supermarket that we can stop at on our way from the airport that's not too far from CSR? We just want to grab a couple things like water, snacks, film.

 

[Buzz2001]

We usually stop at Publix which doesn't seem that far from CSR. Prices are reasonable.

Publix at Colonialtown (Store #00662)
1400 E Colonial Dr
Orlando, FL 32803-4704
Main: (407) 896-8154

I've also heard guests mention WalMart.

Last time we were at Disney, we stopped at Albertson's. It was off the highway on Orange Blossom Trail. It's a large grocery store and the prices were good. We bought a case of water for about $5.00! Have fun.
