Hi Melissa,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy you dropped by with your question about dining in one of my favorite spots at one of my favorite resorts.
My family stays at the
Coronado Springs Resort frequently, and we never pass up a chance to have dinner at
Three Bridges Bar & Grill. It's always a treat to eat there with a view of the water and the Gran Destino Tower. The burger is so yummy, and don't miss the warm churros for dessert.
You are welcome to drive from Saratoga Springs to Coronado Springs for your dinner there. When you arrive at the entrance, you will show ID and let the cast member know you are headed to Three Bridges. Coronado Springs has ample parking, so it should be no problem.
You are correct that seating at Three Bridges is allocated on a walk-up basis. If a table isn't available immediately, a cast member at the entrance will take your phone number and text you when it's your turn. That's a good time to stroll across one of the bridges and check out the grounds. Or walk to the Gran Destino Tower and grab a pre-dinner cocktail or mocktail at the gorgeous Barcelona Lounge.
Thanks for your question, Melissa. Now you've got me thinking about what I want to eat at Three Bridges on my next visit.
Enjoy,
Wilma
