Coronado Springs?

We have never stayed in a Disney Hotel as always stayed off site, but next year we are staying at Coronado Springs Resort for 6 nights. We would like to stay in the new tower hotel but were wondering do they just give you a random room when you check in or can you request or is certain rooms for certain guests?
Also has anyone stayed there and where would you recommend?
Thanks for any help.

You can request a specific area. Casitas 1-3 used to be 'preferred' which cost extra due to their proximity to the lobby. As that has now moved to the Tower that may have changed.

The Tower costs extra - if you have already booked and are not staying in the tower you would have to pay more and change the booking.

If you are not staying in the tower, I would recommend Casitas 4 or 5. We stayed there last year and the location is great.

The tower rooms are a different room classification, so unless you are upgraded you won't be assigned there.

You need to book a tower room to be sure of it. Although I say this but I appear to have got lucky as I definitely booked a water view room view but when my invoice arrived it is a Tower water view room.

Thumbs up

I booked Room Type: Standard View.
What does this mean and can I upgrade?
Thanks for any help.

You could call whoever you booked with and if there is availability and you are happy with the price then yes you can upgrade.

Looking at your time line you are going about end April / early May? I have done a couple of random searches around then and in early May the Tower Water view room is only £100 or so more expensive than the standard view for the six nights (in total not per night).

Having just stayed at CS, whilst the tower looks amazing and the lobby area is breathtaking, I would not choose to stay in the tower if I were fortunate enough to book again. We stayed in Cabanas with wtaer view and it was perfect! Not far to the ammenities, very close to bus stop 4 and so quiet! Tower stop was always busier and last, there was always a bustle around. Its personal choice, but not for me.

Hi
Have a standard view 2 Queen room booked for 8 nights from 22 August and was just about to submit a room request. I've been looking at the standard room views on Touring Plans and found one which looks nice in Cabanas 8C. It's on the second floor and overlooks the pool. One thing I'm worried about is that the room has a noise rating of 4. I was wondering if this was because of the noise when the tower construction was taking place. Would you recommend this block? Is the pool quiet and is 8c within easy reach of el Centro? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

We were in 8b and it was very quiet. No pool view, we had a water view and it was over the lake. When we walked past the pool it only had a max of 5 people in it. Not a problem imo.

Many thanks. Would you recommend the Cabanas area? Did the buses tend to be full with it being the last stop?
