Hi Ashley!
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question!
Standard Rooms at
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort generally face into a courtyard between buildings or outwards towards the resort's internal roadways or parking lots. Standard Room types are located all around the property which surrounds a beautiful 15-acre lake, Lago Dorado. The furthest rooms from El Centro, the location of the lobby, shopping and dining, are approximately a 10-15 minute walk or 3/4 of a kilometer. There is an internal shuttle system available from each of the three 'villages' around the lake to take you in to El Centro if you prefer. Disney Bus Transportation to all of the parks and Downtown Disney is available from 4 Bus Stops located around the property, one at each village and one at El Centro.
If you have a preferred location that you'd like for your stay, consider changing your booking to a 'Preferred Room' location and have a Cast Member indicate your preferred building name or location in the notes within your reservation. This can easily be requested by calling (407) 939-7675. Have your Resort Reservation confirmation number handy at the time of your call. Keep in mind of course that requests cannot be guaranteed, however Cast Members will do their best to meet your requests based on availability at time of room assignment.
If you're traveling with children and would like to be near the main, feature pool area and children's playground, request Cabanas 8A or 8B or Ranchos 6B or 7B. These buildings are also close to Bus Stop 4 on the resort property.
I hope this information is helpful to you Ashley.
Please feel free to write me back if I may assist you further. I'd love to hear from you!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World!
