The *NEW* Coronado Springs FAQ Thread (Part II)

[Buzz2001]

Buzz, you can write this off as a business trip because we keep giving you "assignments" (me included!)
I hope you have the most perfect weather and the most fantabulous time ever! Have a safe trip and we'll all be wondering what you are up to at any given time during the day. We'll be waiting for all your news and trip report when you get back. Maybe I'll just pick you up from the airport so I can hear it quicker???

I usually post daily so no worries. I just can't wait to get there.

I wonder what he's doing right now, besides basking in the warmth? Bet he's already had lunch at the Pepper Market and taken at least 45 pictures for us!

I just booked 6 nights in October beginning the 4th. I am really excited to go back. Me and my family went in 2004 for 3 nights: $47/night post card. What a super deal. Back then we stayed in Ranchos. It was really pretty. My kids loved the stone streams by our room. And the lizards! Wow. My DS, 8 at the time, thought Disney brought in the lizards just for this resort as it was Spanish/Mexico themed. So cute.

Now, my question: I requested Cabana building, just to try something different. Standard view...I am cheap. What do you think?

TIA!

I'll be at CSR starting Thursday. If anyone needs some more pics, I'd be happy to take some. Buzz, if you miss anything and need photos lemme know. I will likely have my laptop (thanks grad school), but if not, my iPhone can keep me up to date on posts. I can't wait to leave!

Standard view is what I booked too. Not much of a view considering there are no balconies. I asked for cabanas as well. I like the rancho look the best for the reason you stated, the stone streams, but since I am with my grandparents...I figured location was priority #1! Wow, I wish I payed $47 a night. I personally though I paid a little bit too much. I probably could have stayed at one of Universal Resorts for $170ish (I have an AP there).

It's a Sunbeam 4 Cup Coffee Maker and it uses flat bottom, standard 4-cup coffee filters.

Does Disney provide filters? Probably a stupid question. We're bringing down our own coffee (WaWa...yum. Think a clean 7/11). Thanks, and sorry for posting 3 times in a row...

You can request a building when you make your reservation, so yes you can call back and add the request to your ressie. Check out Buzz's site for good building locations!

WELCOME TO THE DIS!!

Hi Buzz and fellow Dis'ers....

My Sister and I are headed to CSR in about 70 days and we've been looking at the different sections on the Resort and decided we'd like to stay in the Casitas section. We requested it when we made our reservation and I plan on sending a fax to them a few days before we go. We are also going to be arriving at our resort at about 11:30am and are thinking we may just be able to request it again when we check in. We want to stay in an upper level (3rd level would be wonderful) room. Does anyone have any suggestions for particular rooms...We are booked in a Standard room....

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can make!

Interested too in folks advice around room requests - we will be checking in late (8pm or 9pm) on a Friday night - does it follow that the later you check in, the less likely a particular room request will be granted?

Rix's afe looks good but does the notice say that kids are not allowed at any time, or does it mean later in the evening.

The mattresses are pillow top - thick, around 15 inches or so..didnt have a ruler...great sleeping- one less thing to worry about - ( I was concerned as well)

I think it will have to do with how full the resort is.

We checked in around 7:30 pm and had a king room non smoking booked thru AAA (before the no smoking policy) and they did not have a king room available except a smoking one. They offered us that or a standard room for the night and move in the am for half off. I had a sinus infection so they upgraded us for the week to a suite.

 

[gooftroop22]

But does anyone recommend a certain building number in Casitas?
