Hey there, hi there, Michael! Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad that you've stopped back by with another great holiday planning question.
Before you know it, you'll be arriving at
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, ready to begin your magical adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth. How exciting! My family and I stayed at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort last month, and it confirmed what I already knew: this is definitely one of my favorite Disney Resorts. With the beautiful rooms, gorgeous grounds, awesome
Resort activities, oh-so-fun pools and endless fantastic
dining options, you can have an unforgettable holiday here without ever even leaving your Resort! Of course, you
will want to leave your Resort to visit the theme parks and Disney Springs, so let's chat about transportation.
While it is possible that it could change, when we were at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort last month, the order of the bus stops to and from the theme parks was Bus Stop 2 (Casitas), Bus Stop 3 (Ranchos), Bus Stop 4 (Cabanas) and then Bus Stop 1 (Gran Destino Tower and El Centro). Bus Stop 1 near Gran Destino Tower and El Centro was the last stop picked up for the theme parks and the last stop for drop-off when returning from the theme parks.
The bus stop route to and from Disney Springs was reversed, as Bus Stop 1 was the first stop picked up and the last stop dropped off to and from Disney Springs. This reversal in bus stop routes allows for the perfect internal bus system to travel around this vast Resort. Since we stayed in the Ranchos section, we were able to use the theme park busses to travel from our room to El Centro, and then we could hop on a Disney Springs bus to get from El Centro back to our room. Just keep your eyes peeled for the "How to Get Around Disney's Coronado Springs Resort" signs at the bus stops for instructions!
Michael, every inch of this Resort is fantastic, so no matter where your room is located, you will be close to the magic! Be sure to stop by the
Barcelona Lounge in Gran Destino Tower for a delicious Spanish coffee or a cocktail. I love this little spot near the gorgeous, grand lobby, and I think you will, too!
I hope this was helpful, Michael, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable upcoming holiday! If you have any other questions about Disney's Coronado Springs Resort or any other planning questions, just
ask me! You've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon,
Mandy
