Hi Jamie, my fellow Carolinian! Congratulations on your first trip to Walt Disney World!
I have stayed at
Disney's Coronado Springs many times and absolutely love it! I really enjoy jogging around Lago Dorado, the lake in the center of the resort. This is also the only Moderate Resort that includes a
fitness center. The pool is also amazing, as it is built around a 50-foot replica of a Mayan pyramid! I have stayed in both the Gran Destino Tower and the Casitas, and both are wonderful!
Transportation from Disney's Coronado Springs to the theme parks is best using the
Walt Disney World bus service. The bus will make several stops throughout the resort to pick up Guests staying in the different areas. The route proceeds from the Gran Destino Tower to Casitas to Ranchos to Ranchos and Cabanas. The bus will follow the same order for dropping off Guests back at the resort from the theme parks.
While you are there, make sure to try out the great
dining options! I personally like the T
hree Bridges Bar and Grill! Their homemade guacamole is wonderful!
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
