Coronado Springs Resort

Walt Disney World

Old World Charm Meets Modern Magic

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort blends the beauty of the American Southwest with the vibrant colors and architecture of Mexico. From tranquil courtyards and fountains to the impressive Gran Destino Tower, this moderate resort offers a more sophisticated atmosphere while still delivering plenty of Disney magic.

On a whim, Stitchy and I made the trek to Florida to ring in the Coolest Summer Ever during Magic Kingdom’s 2015 24-hour event. We decided it was the perfect excuse to explore a few Disney resorts we hadn’t called home yet, and Coronado Springs quickly became a favorite. A fantastic cast, amazing pool area and gorgeous grounds made this one an easy repeat for us.

The addition of Gran Destino Tower in 2019 only strengthened Coronado Springs’ appeal, adding a deluxe-style experience at a moderate resort price point. With elevated dining, a stunning lobby and a club lounge with views stretching toward Hollywood Studios and beyond, Coronado Springs continues to be one of our favorite moderate resort options.

      More Magic Tips

      A few tips go a long way toward making your stay at Coronado Springs even more magical!

      • Don’t overlook Coronado because it’s a moderate.
        Gran Destino Tower completely changed the game at Coronado Springs. If you’ve written this resort off in the past, it’s worth another look. The updated lobby, dining options and Chronos Club add a level of polish that surprises many guests.
      • Take advantage of Coronado’s central location.
        One of Coronado Springs’ biggest perks is its location. Sitting in the heart of Walt Disney World, this resort offers fairly convenient travel times to many destinations, which is nice when busses are the only complimentary option.
      • Request your location strategically.
        Coronado Springs is a beautiful, sprawling resort, but not every room location feels the same. Think about what matters most to your family — being near the pool, dining, transportation or a quieter area — before making your room request or choosing your booking category.
      • Let us help you choose the right room.
        Caribbean Beach Resort’s size is both part of its charm and something to consider when booking. The best room location depends on your family’s priorities — tower upgrades, dining, pool time or minimizing walking. When you book your Disney vacation with us, we’ll help you find the resort and room category that fits the way your family actually vacations.

      Our Take on Coronado Springs

      Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is one of those Disney resorts that can surprise you in the best way. It might not be the first one that comes to mind when you think about a Walt Disney World stay, but once you experience it, you’ll understand why so many guests come back again and again.

      Between the stunning Gran Destino Tower, relaxing views around Lago Dorado and the many details tucked throughout the resort, Coronado Springs feels like a place you’ll actually want to spend time enjoying — not just somewhere to crash after a long park day. The resort’s larger size and bus transportation to the parks aren’t the right fit for every family, but for guests who appreciate beautiful surroundings, great dining options and a more relaxed atmosphere, it offers a lot to love.

      If you’re looking for a moderate resort with a little more wow factor, a beautiful atmosphere and plenty of Disney magic, Coronado Springs deserves a spot on your list. We’d love to help you find the resort that feels just right for your next Disney vacation.
