Coronado Springs Resort

I've not yet but in 25 days we will be there for 5 nights I'll be happy to share a million pics

I stayed there with my family when it first opened and also went back for a visit and walk around a couple of years ago. It is a really beautifully themed resort. I remember the plants and flowers were very beautiful and the pool area is nice. It is a convention hotel so there may be a lot of people walking round in suits rather than Mickey Shirts. I remember we ate in the food hall when we visited recently. It was very confusing and not run like other Disney food halls. I can't exactly remember why it was so confusing - I am sure Robyn will let us know unless it has changed. I do remember we ended up not paying for our meals because there were no cast members on the cash registers and we couldn't find anyone to swipe our dining plan credits. The reason we have not stayed at Coronado again is simply because we are in love with Port Orleans and also we would miss the boat to Disney Springs.

Stayed in business class every year since it has opened. Our latest trip was 11/2015 and have another planned for 7/2016 for 8 of us. I love it. For the location alone it is worth it but the lounge is the icing on the cake. No it doesn't compare to a deluxe club level but it works.

My mom and dad just visited and they stated it seemed more upscale moderate than other moderate resorts. They loved the room layout. The only negative was the location, bus rides can be a little long if you take Disney transport!

I'm going to stay here for part of my February trip.

well I didn't want to chime in as I truly want to see how the latest reviews go so that is why am weighing in as I stayed there and it was awful and I vowed never to go back so this should be interesting.

Yes and it started with check in...our rooms weren't ready (checked in Round 11am) and that was fine so they took my cell phone number and my girlfriends and we headed to Downtown Disney (as it was called at the time). Well about 4 o'clock we said let's head back and on the bus I called and asked about our rooms and was told it was ready a long time ago and so I asked why I didn't get a call and was told that they are at 100% of capacity. So I asked if my girlfriends room was ready and was told they had never checked in...what?????? They checked in with me. I was starting to get really upset so I handed the phone to my girlfriend and her husband. And when we got back to the resort we went to the front desk to get it straightened out and again was told they are at 100%. Arghhhh. Then our luggage wasn't in our room so I called and was told again we are at 100%...argh...I lost it and said I don't give a flying fat as s (sorry about the language) and hung up. So my friends called from our room to see about their room and was told that they are cleaning it now and that their luggage was in their room. So my girlfriend asked what the room number was and was told they can't tell them that as their room wasn't ready. What our luggage is in the room but we can't know the room number. Arghhhh... And our can this luggage be in their room when mine is still among the missing. So this is all am going to say to my 1st complaint.....there are many more and I can't tell how many times I was told we are at 100%.

We watched the Star Wars fireworks from the back of building 6 every night! As far as values go, Pop is my favorite!

yeah very frustrated so I know many people love that resort but not me...really put a damper on our vacation as I said that was only arrival day issues.
now last June I stayed at Pop Century (1st time at a value) and I was surprised I didn't mind it and 100% preferred it over CS. But my heart belongs to POFQ.

I love Pop. You've made a good choice.

We'll be at Pop too

I just got back from a quickie trip. I stayed at CS for the first time in more than 10 years. The last time I stayed there it felt so spread ou and I didn't enjoy it. This time I enjoyed the room but that's about I saw of the resort. I was in Casita 4 which is a great location to get a bus to the parks. It is the first pickup and first drop off. Since it was such a short trip, I had a resist for breakfast away from CS every morning so I have no clue as to how far my room was from El Centro (the main building).

We've stayed at Pop Century a couple of times. I like it better than the other value resorts because of location and not sharing a bus.

Well it sounds like I'm too late but we stayed at Coronado in Sept 2014 and enjoyed it. The food court is awesome and my only gripe was the truly awful bus service, but hopefully that was just a fluke on our trip.

I've never stayed at Pop but we will be there in 6 days!

We made the same request for next week so fingers crossed!

I love Pop. It is my favorite value. I'm considering changing resorts to save some money. If I do, I will more than likely change to Pop.

I changed my reservation today to Pop.

Drinks at the Petal Bar

Awesome!
We didn't stay in the Business class rooms but enjoyed CS. It's a large resort, it doesn't feel as big as CBR. I planned to explore the grounds this past January but never got over to the pyramid pool. We were closer to the food court/checkin area and bus stop #2 which actually was the first stop coming from the parks bus stop #1 was last in pick up and drop off. There were a few conventions happening when we went so it was little odd to see so many people in business attire at Disney. As always the CMs were great and I liked the convenience of the business center.
