Ultimate Guide to Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Enjoy a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American influences at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. This moderate resort is one of our favorite Disney World Resorts for a number of reasons.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Situated along a beautiful lake, this resort has everything you would want from a Disney Resort… nice pool & play area, wonderful onsite bars and restaurants, and a full-service spa.
It is perfect for families wanting to stay on Disney property or couples looking for a romantic getaway destination in Disney World.
This resort really does have some great features that make it one of my personal favorites.
Coronado Springs Rooms
Bedrooms are roomy enough for a family of four with two queen-sized beds, a desk area, and a sitting chair.
The Three Caballeros theming is subtle, yet adds that Disney charm we expect in a Disney Resort.
The bathroom can be sectioned off by the barn doors so that those getting ready in the morning (or at night) have a bit more privacy.
All bathrooms come fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower area and a stock of other bathroom essentials at the sink.
Convenience is really key when looking for a Disney Resort.
This resort has many things within walking distance, which makes it great for being able to access all the amenities.
Disney’s Coronado Springs utilizes a bridge system that gives guests easy access to the resort buildings, restaurants, and pool areas.
Coronado Springs Resort Pool
I have to say that the pool at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is one of my favorites.
You truly feel like you are taken away to a tropical paradise, with plenty of trees and a large replica of a Mayan Pyramid, complete with a cascading waterfall, as the backdrop.
The pool is quite large and laid out in such a way that you don’t feel like you are on top of each other when it does get crowded.
There is also a fun slide that the entire family can enjoy.
Located behind the pool, you will feel like you are sliding into a jungle.
Seriously, this slide is one of my kids’ favorites of all the Disney Resorts!
Coronado Springs Dig Site
The playground, arcade and campfire site are all just a few feet away from the pool, which makes it super convenient for families.
It is easy for your kids to enjoy everything at once rather than have to plan separate trips to enjoy each of these places.
The Explorers’ Playground sticks with the Mexican theme throughout. Among the Mayan ruins, you will find a jungle gym, slide, and much more.
Coronado Springs Restaurants
One of the best perks about staying at Coronado Springs is that there are plenty of choices when it comes to food.
Here is what you will find:
Three Bridges Bar & Grill: Bar Food with a huge cocktail List and a beautiful view.
Toledo: Tapas, Steak & Seafood: Rooftop restaurant featuring Steak, Fish & Ribs.
El Mercado de Coronado: Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza and Rice Bowls
Rix Sports Bar & Grill: Bar Food & Beer
Maya Grill: Traditional Mexican favorites like tacos, fajitas and enchilladas.
Shopping at Panchito’s
Coronado Springs Resort has a nice gift shop that has tons of merchandise.
This is one of the few places to find both Coco souvenirs and Encanto merchandise in Disney World.
They have everything from clothes to Loungefly bags featuring designs from the animated films.
Reviews are mixed on Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort because it has a convention center, and some guests are put off by the idea of a family resort being overrun with business people.
This has never once been an issue when I have stayed there.
