What Readers Are Saying About Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Really enjoyed staying at the Gran Destino Tower much more than our previous stay at Coronado's casitas. The view from our room was great and we also enjoyed Destino's restaurant and the Three Bridges lounge.

Coronado Springs was too big of a resort. With the convention center attached to it there were so many people traveling to and from the resorts that it took an hour to board the bus to get back to the hotel at park closing.

We have found the resorts located nearer the Animal Kingdom, like Coronado Springs, are some of the quietest resorts because Animal Kingdom doesn't have fireworks.

Our club-level room at Coronado Springs was well worth the cost for the huge benefit of the lounge.

Dining

Coronado Springas has four full-service restaurants, a food court, and two bars, so there's plenty to choose from. Still, having a car will expand your options.

Coronado Springs Private Dining

Maya Grill Maya Grill at the relatively overlooked Coronado Springs is owned by the same folks who run the restaurants at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT, but execution falls short here. Menu prices have come down somewhat, but over $20 for fish tacos is still expensive.

Rix Sports Bar & Grill

Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Villa del Lago Taking waterside dining to the next level, Three Bridges unites traditional bar fare with Spanish flair. Dishes are nicely executed and drinks are delightful at this beautiful island retreat. Fun Fact: The Los Angeles Lakers celebrated their 2020 NBA championship at Three Bridges Bar when the NBA finished their season in a "bubble" at Walt Disney World. [Our Disneyland writer, Guy Selga, made us include this] While Three Bridges doesn't accept reservations, you can add yourself to its wait-list using the My Disney Experience app.

Toledo - Tapas, Steak & Seafood Toledo caters to park guests and conventioneers alike.

Cafe Rix

El Mercado de Coronado El Mercado de Coronado is the main Quick Service eatery at Coronado Springs. The food court area is fun and festive and contained in a large space that vaguely resembles and outdoor market. The overall setup is much like a food court at a mall. There are several different stations, each selling one set of meals. For example, one station sells pizza and pasta; another sells burgers; another is dedicated to sandwiches, and so on. If your kids each want something different, you'll have to line up several times. The good news is that some of the food is prepared on demand, so you'll at least be getting your burger cooked to order. El Mercado is unique among the moderate resorts in that it is a Quick Service venue where waiters bring and refill your beverages; as a result, guests are expected to provide a gratuity.

Barcelona Lounge Offers breakfast and coffee by day and cocktails by night.

Dahlia Lounge

Laguna Dock Bar

Siestas Cantina

Panchito's Gifts & Sundries Gift shop with a small selection of snacks, drinks, and groceries.

Refillable Mugs Allows guest self-service soft drink refills from quick-service locations in hotels (NOT in theme parks) for $22.99 for the length of stay.

Practical Matters

Check In/Out Time

Check-in is 3:00pm
Check-out is 11:00am

Online Check-In

All Disney resorts participate in Disney’s Online Check-In program. If you’ve checked-in online and provided a mobile phone number or email address, you will receive your room number electronically. Then you can go straight to the room and use your smart phone or MagicBand to open the door, skipping the lobby altogether.

MagicBand

These rubber and plastic wrist bands can function as your room key, park admission, charge card, and more! MagicBands cost money, but if you'd like a free option you can use the official Disney World app on your phone or request an RFID-embedded card at the front desk.

Theme Park Tickets

Park tickets are best purchased online in advance either directly through Disney or via our Least Expensive Ticket Calculator. However, if you arrive without park tickets, head to the concierge desk in the hotel lobby.

Dining Reservations

Dining reservation are best made online in advance or on your phone or tablet during your visit. You can also use our Disney World Reservation Finder.

Laundry

Washers and dryers are availabile in laundry facilities at each Disney World hotel. Cost is $3 per wash, and another $3 per dry cycle. A small selection of soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are also sold, for around $1 each. Only credit/debit cards can be used for payment. For more information, see our Disney World Laundry Facilities page.

Lost and Found

If you lose something in a theme park or during your stay at a Disney-operated hotel, visit Disney's Lost and Found website or call (407) 824-4245.

Shopping

Disney hotels have gifts shops near their lobbies with a decent collection of Disney-branded souvenirs. You will also find basic pharmacy items such as sunscreen, aspirin, allergy and cold medicine, baby diapers and formula, shampoo, and the like. Resort hotels with Deluxe Villa rooms offer an assortment of groceries, as well.

Child Care

Disney recommends a third party company, Kid's Nite Out, to provide babysitting services at the resort hotels. See our Disney World Child Care page for more information.

Transportation

Driving to the Resort

Getting to the Parks
and Disney Springs

Destination	Bus	Car
Magic Kingdom	27 min	37 min
EPCOT	26 min	18 min
Hollywood Studios	24 min	16 min
Animal Kingdom	23 min	11 min
Disney Springs	27 min	13 min

Disney provides free bus service to all destinations except the Magic Kingdom. Buses run about every 20 minutes. Disney's bus transportation system is the fastest option to get to the Magic Kingdom. For all other destinations, it's faster to drive your car if you have one.

If you have your own car, it's faster to drive yourself everywhere except the Magic Kingdom.

Getting to Universal Orlando

The Coronado Springs Resort is located in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area. All modern GPS apps, and Google Maps, will have clear driving directions to it. As a backup, look for Disney road signs directing you toward the Animal Kingdom once you're on property, and then look for signs for Coronado Springs.

Destination	Bus	Car
Magic Kingdom	27 min	37 min
EPCOT	26 min	18 min
Hollywood Studios	24 min	16 min
Animal Kingdom	23 min	11 min
Disney Springs	27 min	13 min

If you have your own car, it's faster to drive yourself everywhere except the Magic Kingdom.

For all resort destinations, the fastest option is an Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Disney's bus service is free but slow, and will probably require you to use an intermediate destination like Disney Springs, to get to your destination. And that can take a couple of hours each way if you're unluckly.

if you have a car, the easiest way to get to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and other tourist destinations is to drive. Alternatively, Mears Transportation operates shuttle services between the Disney hotels and other theme parks.
