Hi Kim,
I hope that you and your son are looking forward to your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation! You two are going to make so many special memories together and will cherish the time for years to come!
I, too, have an upcoming stay at
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, and I can't WAIT to relax at this gorgeous lakeside retreat. I was able to experience the brand new
Gran Destino Tower on a recent trip and WOW...it's breathtaking! I'd definitely encourage you to head up to the rooftop to enjoy the spectacular views! (While you're up there, I highly recommend
Toledo - Tapas, Steak & Seafood! Mmm...my meal was FANTASTIC!) As far as your room location goes, any of the rooms within Gran Destino Tower would be a great location, and easily accessible by elevator. If you'd like to stay in a non-Tower room, I'd encourage you to book a
Preferred Room so that you're guaranteed to have a location near the main building. The Preferred Rooms are located in the Casitas buildings 1, 2, or 3, so they'll definitely be close to dining, shopping, and transportation. Of course, now that
Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Villa del Lago is complete, it's much easier to access every area of the Resort. Don't forget, too, that you are also able to use the complimentary bus system to move around the Resort. My dear friend and fellow Panelist Robyn shared the
current bus stop order here, so feel free to hop on and off wherever you'd like!
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kim, and please come back and see us again if we can help with anything else as you're planning your trip. I hope that you and your Mouseketeer have a truly magical vacation together next
spring!
Missy
