Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

We stayed at Ranchos Building 7A for a week. Rooms were clean, and they serviced every other day. It's beautiful and quiet at night when walking the resort. Ranchos is a far walk from main building, so highly recommend engaging bell services when you need help. Bus stop #3 was nearby, and buses were arriving an average 20 mins for each dedicated location (e.g. animal kingdom). Staff is friendly. Daisy Duck and Dale visited the main building on our first day while we were checking in, so our kids enjoyed seeing them. We requested and received a microwave for our room and a refrigerator for our connected room for our other family, which we share via the internal party door. We used Target 360 to have drinks, food, and supplies delivered to Bell Services while we were in route to the resort. Used the laundry room - plenty of washers and dryers; there's a vending machines for detergent or use your own. The Ranchos village pool is quiet. The Big Dig Site has the large pool with slide, and a separate hot spa area. Overall, enjoyed the resort. Only 'con' was the long walking distance to nearby food or main building, which can be a deterrent after a long day of walking the parks, hence us microwaving some Mac n Chz in the room for late night snack.

Absolutely Amazing. First off, the resort is gorgeous. The beds are so comfortable, provided with plenty of pillows. The pools are clean and my daughter had so much fun on the water slide. The hot tub is great after a long day in the parks. The staff are so friendly. My daughter got sick one night and staff came to give us new bedding. The next morning we received a phone call to check in to see how she was feeling and if we needed anything (thankfully she was feeling better, just got too hot). That evening she had a couple of gifts waiting for her in the room. She was thrilled and said she wanted to thank whoever gave it to her. So if you see this, thank you! My only complaint is the breakfast place doesn't open until 7. With early entry into the parks, there were a lot of guests complaining about it being open too late and I agree. I think it would be better to open at 6 for those early risers. Overall this is my favorite resort so far out of the 3 I've stayed at. I will definitely visit again.

The resort lobby is beautifully done. When you check in, cast members are there to greet you and help you. Bell men are there who will be happy to take you, your family, luggage, and any pre-shipped items you've got. We ordered Kroger to deliver the day we arrived. This was a total park trip, so we did not visit the pools. CS's strength, so we were told by Minnie Van drivers, is it's central location to all the parks. However, the only free Disney transportation is the bus system which runs from CS to all the parks pretty regularly. 1 park per bus. The Minnie Van service is excellent. But if you want to be more budget friendly, Lyft and Uber both serve the resort. From MCO to the resort and back, we chartered with We Drive You Fly, a private limo service. They were complete gentlemen.and very reasonable. After a 7-day Disney experience, the limo is what you will want. The showers were very nice, having an additional overhead rain faucet. Rooms were roomy in the Rancheros (also bus stop #4 close by).

We just got back from our stay here and… honestly it was a mixed bag. I am not one to post I usually just read everyone elses thoughts but I feel like I need to share about this one. For reference this trip was myself, husband, son (15) and daughter (9). My dad and step mom also accompanied us as this trip was to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The resort itself is beautiful but it was just too big for us. We knew it was large when we booked but between all the walking and the crowds from multiple conventions it felt a bit much. Our first impression was not great. The lobby was packed when we arrived and it was hard to get help. Even just asking a cast member where the restroom could be found seemed like an inconvenience to them. Thankfully the guys working outside were super kind and helped us find our building and where to park. The biggest downside though… the food... Every meal from the food court was terrible and I ended up getting food poisoning from one of them 🤢 which knocked me out for a day and made me miss park time. Buses were another frustration. We actually love and prefer bus transportation during our Disney stays but this resort had extremely long waits. The buses were always packed and because there are several stops before even leaving the resort people were crammed in and standing every time. One evening we waited 45 minutes for a Disney Springs bus that could not even fit everyone then on the way back we waited another 25–30 minutes. For a moderate resort that felt a little crazy. The night before checkout we tried to get a luggage cart to load up our car. We were told one would be brought to our room we waited over an hour and called again and were told we actually had to go get one ourselves from the tower (which was really far). My son and I made the walk and when we finally got there the cast member I came in contact with literally laughed when I asked if they had any and told me they did t have any. I explained we had been waiting and got misinformation and was pretty upset about the situation. Despite his attitude he went in the back and found one but that experience really summed up how unhelpful most of the staff felt. Housekeeping was amazing (seriously, they were the nicest people we met there) but overall the rest of the staff just did not feel very friendly or welcoming. We left our trip feeling sad and that it didn’t feel like “Disney” to us. I truly think it was because of this resort.. In closing this is a beautiful place but between the food poisoning, buses, and rude service Coronado Springs is a one and done for us.

Beware, its a large resort & depending on where your room is located, you will do alot of walking lol! Other than that, I always have a great time when I stay here. The food & staff are great. The rooms are comfy & clean. There's plenty to do with multiple pools throughout & a large pool, play area, arcade & pool bar centrally located in the middle of the resort. The shuttle to get to the parks runs often & there are several stops within the property.
