Talk to me about Coronado Springs... please :-)

Hey,

SO, like a few dibbers I have now booked for August 2022. Life has changed a bit since my last trip in 2019 and this time around I'm single and have booked a mother/daughter trip for me and my youngest. (At the time of travel she will be 20).

We've been going to WDW since she was 2 so have been lucky enough to have stayed in several resorts (favourite definitely is Disney's Beach Club) but budget is now ever so important and I selected CS based on the cost and the fact that the dining credit isn't that much less than the deluxe rooms but the actual room cost is so much better. Also very excited by the Celebration gift basket

Now whilst we have stayed at a selection of resorts, we have never stayed here.

Would love to know your thoughts and experiences. We are excited to be heading back. There is also a chance that the middle child might join us. (Son who would be 21 at the time of travel).

Thank you!

Aww well thank you for taking the time to respond. Hope you enjoy the planning and have a magical vacation with your 10 year old. What a perfect age to be visiting!

We have stayed twice at CSR. We have really enjoyed both stays. It is large but we don’t mind that. It’s so pretty and there is the bridge now that makes it easier. We love the smaller pools as they are quieter. The tower is lovely and the meal that we had in the restaurant in the tower was one of the best of our stay. Transport was regular and we were close to a bus stop. Rooms are a good size with two vanity units in the bathroom with a bath and shower. There were separating doors between room and vanity area where you can get changed if sharing with others which was handy Can’t really think of anything negative to say about it.
Edited to add that we have also stayed at AKL POFQ AOA WL WFL and OKW so can compare. Would happily stay at CSR again

We’ve stayed at CSR several times and it’s one of our favourites. It feels more adult orientated than some of the other resorts and the facilities (such as a gym) put it more into a ‘deluxe resort at moderate prices’ category. There’s a variety of dining options, good pools and it doesn’t seem to take long to reach all the parks by bus. Not sure if the conventions will be back by next year, but at least the attendees wouldn’t be in line for a park bus after breakfast!

I am also in the 'CSR first timer' club so will read with interest!

Having watched lots of videos of the recent construction, it looks more beautiful than ever and I can't wait.

Favourite resort, hands down. I like the vibe there, it's not overly Disney so great for winding down after being in the parks. That also means it's more popular with adults than families (which I like) although I did see some families there as well.

I'm not staying there this time but only because it is a budget solo trip and I couldn't justify the extra cost over value. But if I end up going with someone, I'll probably upgrade.
