    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Do they still do pin trading at the hotel? Has anyone traded pins at this hotel recently? Just wondering if they are keeping their boards pretty filled?

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    I will be at Coronado Springs Tower for one night in September. I have an option to leave on a 7:30AM flight home or a 3:30PM flight home on my departure day. Thoughts? Would there be things to do at the hotel in the morning that would make it worth it to hang around at the hotel for a bit...

    Official 2021 "Disney After Hours Boo Bash" Thread

    I also called to cancel my boo bash tickets. I was told that they do not expire and that the amount could be applied to a future DisneyWorld ticket. She said that even though I bought the tickets for my parents and they are assigned to them in MDE that I could use the credit for me or my...

    Thanks everyone. Based on availability and pricing, I went ahead and booked the Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in a standard view room. Hoping we like it!

    Best Disney hotels for less walking

    My mom does not like to walk far. I know that when we stayed at POFQ many years ago, my mom was able to park her car very close to her room, so she did not have to walk far. If she does not want to walk too much at hotel, what are the best hotels to choose? Which ones should I avoid?

    Ogas cantina

    Great point. My family and I had to stand at a table. But my brother and his family were on a different reservation and got a booth. My sister-in-law had a brace on her ankle from an injury and at check-in she told them she needed to sit. They accommodated her request.

    Ogas cantina

    We had a reservation, but once inside, we ordered our drinks in to-go cups and paid when we ordered. That way, as soon as we were tired of the loud, crowded atmosphere inside, we just left and walked around SWGE with our drinks.

    was the service your way gift card worth having no mousekeeping?

    I did not decline housekeeping at the Dolphin hotel and regretted it since they did such a lousy job and I had to empty my own trash and go get my own toilet paper and other toiletries myself anyway. Absolutely from now on, I will decline. (At Dolphin, they were offering a $10 gift card per...

    Worst meal experience?

    Boma is the only TS restaurant that we try to go back to consistently. All of the others have been just okay. So, glad we have done just about all of them once, but no need to go back. But to answer the original question, Hollywood and Vine is our #1 worst meal experience. We went Thanksgiving...

    Portofino- club level or cabana?

    We have stayed CL at Portofino many times and always find it worth it. Food is good and it is so nice to have a lounge area to relax in. My kids are similar age and love it.

    POFR or Dolphin? Same price..

    Will you be driving? My parents love that they can park their car close to the actual rooms at POFQ. It ends up being a lot less walking for them.

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    It was a combo of an allergic reaction and an esophageal stricture( I think that was what it was called). He could breathe, but couldn’t really swallow or talk.

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Overall Thoughts My kids thanked me multiple times for getting mid-day passes. They have done many trips with me where we are getting up at 6 or 7 to be the first bus out for extra magic hours, and they do not miss those days. We saved $30/day by using mid-day passes. I spent $50/day for Club...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Day 4 Today was Thanksgiving and our departure day, but we did manage to get some good pool time in in the morning. We asked for a late check out, and they allowed us to check out at noon. We picked up our rental car from downstairs and left at noon to drive to Ft. Lauderdale for the second...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Day 3 -DHS Again ,because of mid-day passes we had a leisurely morning. My DD12 really wanted to rent a surrey bike at Boardwalk, so we did that. My DD9 was not tall enough to pedal, so she got to sit in the front section and ring the bell. It was so much fun. I have not laughed that hard...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Day 2 – Animal Kingdom A text at 6AM from my husband confirmed that was feeling better and he had gotten on a flight and was heading to Orlando. Yay! Since we had mid-day tickets, there was no need to wake up kids early, so I let them sleep in until about 9AM, and then I went downstairs to get...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Day 1- Epcot Crazy morning at the airport. We had a 6:30 AM flight, but my husband got sick at the airport after eating breakfast there, and ended up going to Urgent Care instead of getting on the plane. My 3 kids and I went on without him. We landed in Orlando at about 10AM and were met by...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    Hotel We stayed in an Alcove Room (which is what qualified us for Club level fastpasses) on the 6th floor in the East Wing of the Dolphin hotel. The room was nice for 5 people, but had way too much furniture in it, so it was hard to find a place to put the cot. The room location was not the...

    A Quick Trip of Firsts

    We took a quick 3-Day trip to Disney over Thanksgiving. DH, DS15, DD12, and DD9. I titled this a trip of firsts because although I have been to Disney dozens of times, this was the first trip: 1) where we stayed at the Dolphin hotel, 2) where we use mid-day passes and 3) where we used...
