Enjoy a blend of Spanish, Mexican and Southwest American influences at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. This moderate resort is one of our favorite Disney World Resorts for a number of reasons.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Situated along a beautiful lake, this resort has everything you would want from a Disney Resort… nice pool & play area, wonderful onsite bars and restaurants and a full-service spa.
What makes this resort so convenient is that is utilizes a bridge system that allows guests to easily get from the resort buildings to the restaurants and pool areas.
Coronado Springs Rooms
Bedrooms are roomy enough for a family of four with two queen-sized beds, a desk area, and a sitting chair.
The Three Caballeros theming is subtle, yet adds that Disney charm we expect in a Disney Resort.
The bathroom can be sectioned off by the barn doors so that those getting ready in the morning (or at night) have a bit more privacy.
All bathrooms come fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower area and a stock of other bathroom essentials at the sink.
Coronado Springs Resort Pool
I have to say that the pool at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is one of my favorites.
You really feel like you are taken away to a tropical paradise with plenty of trees and a large replica of a Mayan Pyramid with a cascading waterfall as the backdrop.
The pool is quite large and laid out in such a way that you don’t feel like you are on top of each other when it does get crowded.
There is also a fun slide the entire family can enjoy.
Seriously, this slide is one of my kids favorite of all the Disney resorts!
Coronado Springs Dig Site
The playground, arcade and campfire site are all just a few feet away from the pool.
It is easy for your kids to enjoy everything at once rather than have to plan separate trips to enjoy each of these places.
The Explorers playground sticks with the Mexican theme throughout. Among the Mayan ruins, you will find a jungle gym, slide and much more.

Shopping at Panchito’s
Coronado Springs Resort has a nice gift shop that has tons of merchandise.
This is one of the few places to find both Coco and Encanto Merchandise. They have everything from clothes to Lougefly bags featuring designs from the animated films.
Reviews are mixed of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort due to the fact that it does have a convention center and some guests are off-put by the idea of a family resort being overrun with business people.
This has never once been an issue when I have stayed there.
