So I am really struggling to decide whether to stay at the Coronado springs resort or the Contemporary resort.
It would be myself and my wife who has some back problems. My 8 year old and 5 year old.
We would stay in the tower at CS. Planning on magic Kingdom 3 days and one day for each of the other 3. At CR would be staying in the garden wing.
The most concerning thing for me is that my family isn't great at long walks. We have about 2 consecutive hours before we start falling apart.
I just don't know whether it would be worth it to pay $1100 extra for 6 nights. I am also surprised they both have the same score on TripAdvisor.
Any experiences out there of these 2 or better resorts for our situation?
Thanks in advance
**Edit**
A couple other concerns I have with coronado is that it doesn't have the daybed for my other kid. It has wood floors that look uncomfortable for sleeping.
I have heard from many many sites that Coronado doesn't have good food. In looking at menus it seems like bar food and not much else which is a bummer.
Dont think we have the option of lyft because finding a car with a booster and a car seat seems slim.
I have heard being the last stop is actually a bad thing as buses will fill up and some people end up walking to another stop.
Concerns with contemporary would be obviously cost, wondering how far the walk from garden room to MK is.
Is the pool situation at CR really that bad? My kids can't swim so I would need to go in any deep water with them.
Are there better resorts for families that check these boxes? Magic Kingdom and Epcot will be our main goals coming back to the room twice a day for rest. Going out 3 times.
