Resort Description

The Coronado Springs Resort is Walt Disney World's first family/convention center resort. The resort theming is based on a mix of Colonial Mexico and the American Southwest. The nearly 2000 rooms are dispersed amongst three villages that surround a 15 acre man-made lake. The resorts feature rustic stucco buildings, Mexican-style bungalows and festive villages with Spanish terracotta roofs. The convention center is 95,000 square feet and has a 60,214 square foot ballroom.

ROOMS: The Coronado Springs Resort is divided into 3 village areas, the Casitas, the Ranchos and the Cabanas. The Casitas are commonly used for the convention accommodations. The Ranchos have a more rustic, rural flavor to them. The Cabanas are 2-story Mexican-style bungalows.  The typical guest room is 314 square feet and has 2 double beds, a table with 2 chairs, a coffeemaker, an iron and ironing board, a TV, a dresser, a nightstand, a hair dryer, and a single sink and mirror in a vanity area outside of the tub and commode. There are handicap-accessible rooms available as well, with one king size bed, and a wheel-chair accessible shower in place of a tub.

While the rooms accommodate up to 4 guests, a roll-away cot can be rented for $15/night.

TIP: For a room close to the main pool (the Dig Site), ask for Casitas building 5, Rancho building 7A or 7B, or Cabanas building 8A. If you like to be close to the main building and food court area, request Casitas building 1 or Cabanas 9B. For a room closest to the main bus stop, ask for Casitas 1.

DINING: There is a food court and a sit down restaurant at the Coronado Springs Resort. The Pepper Market Food Court is an interesting alternative to the typical food court. Upon entering, you are seated by a host/hostess, and each guest in your party receives a card. You can go to any of the food counters to order, and as you get your food, your card is stamped to reflect your order. At the end of your meal, you present your card(s) to the cashier for payment. A 10% gratuity is automatically included, as there are bussers available to refill your drinks, clean the tables, etc. There is a wide variety of food available here, such as Mexican (tostados, burritos, tacos, etc) pizza, hamburgers, rotisserie chicken, baked goods, pasta, sandwiches and Asian stir-fry. The hours are usually from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The full service restaurant, the Maya Grill, offers Mexican and American Southwestern cuisine. As the "grill" suggests, meats and seafood are grilled over an open wood-burning fire. Breakfast buffets are also available here. Breakfast hours are 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and dinner hours are 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Room service is available, but has a limited menu. A continental breakfast is available from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and pizza, cold sandwiches, and salads are offered from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

POOL/RECREATION: The Dig Site is the main pool area at the Coronado Springs Resort. Here you will find a sand volleyball court, an arcade, a poolside bar, an enormous hot tub, a playground (fashioned after an archaeological dig site) and of course, a large pool! A Mayan pyramid is the centerpiece of this 120' by 90' pool. This area is like a mini-water park with a 123 foot long water slide with a jaguar perched over the water slide to spit water at guests as they go down the slide. There is also a children's pool here. Pool towels are available at the Dig Site. There are 3 quiet pools, one at each of the village areas, but guests must bring their room towels here as pool towels are not offered.

There is lots to do at Coronado Springs besides swim. There are 2 arcades, bicycle rentals, a marina with kayak, pedal boat and electric boat rentals, a nature walk, volleyball, jogging trails, a fitness center (that includes whirlpool, sauna, massage and esthetics) and the Explorer's Playground.
