Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

[coolbrook]

Thank you so much for posting the recreation schedule pics! Do you know if the ping pong table outside at the dig site is available?

I saw that it was there and there were paddles left on the table, but I didn’t anyone playing. I’m not exactly sure how that works, sorry!

FYI, at the Ranchos bus stop since just before 6:40 (so just under an hour of waiting) and not a single MK bus stopped. One drove by. There are people who were here before us (probably about 2 buses worth). An AK bus came and had space left, so I assume everyone here is going to MK. We are bailing and driving- just drove past the Cabanas and it’s more packed than Ranchos (though maybe some are going to AK). I hate the TTC, but we would have been there by now.

Not unless they've added it in the last few months. When I was there the bar had been cleared of all the things a BAR should have. Mainly, alcohol.

Yep....I was actually confused when I went to get coffee one morning and asked where to get it. I was directed to the lounge downstairs and didn't realize it was actually a bar/lounge. There was no bottles of booze anywhere in sight and it was just being used as a coffee spot. It was closed later in the day

Ugh I know buses can be hit or miss at any resort, especially right now, but we'll be there in 2 weeks and this is making me think we should have an Uber on standby every morning.

I would be interested in this also. Do reservations support all 3 sections open? Would you say being put in the back of Casitas is the same walking distance as the Ranchos if you are going to the tower where Uber picks up.

Thank you for reporting. I think if the paddles were put out on the table that is an invitation to play! We are looking for a few things to do around the resort over memorial day weekend. I read on the Disney website that the sand volleyball court is available right now too. I also appreciate the person who posted the pic of the activities sign that was out this week. I realize it is spring break right now, so there are probably more activities, but I'm hopeful some of these types of things will be offered the week we are there. Thank you to everyone who has posted here!

It’s probably not a bad idea. We received a notification from MDE and on our room tv that driving to HS, Epcot, and AK would be the “best” method right now. (I don’t remember what word they used- preferred? Quicker? The point was to drive if possible.) They left MK off so I thought they were going to really up their MK bus game.

We are here now. The bus situation is less than stellar. We are in cabanas and our first day, we started at that bus stop and saw SO many full buses just drive in by. Ever since, we’ve been walking to the casitas stop and it has been a bit better. There have mostly been long waits for a bus when coming back from a park, but after the first bus would finally arrive, they started dropping in quickly(was always long lines back to the resort).

We hit the pool yesterday about 5ish and it was at capacity, but we only waited about 20 mins. Went today around 3, and it was not yet at capacity

 

[Tink3815]

For those of you there now, how have the buses to Disney Springs been around 5 or later? Has anyone been able to be picked up by Uber some where other than in front of the towers?

 

[HollyMD]

Sorry, we haven’t used Uber and haven’t gone to DS yet. Plan to tomorrow and will let you know how it goes!

 

[4forthemouse]

We will be heading to CSR next week! I’m excited and busy planning, but I am looking at their dining, and don’t see oatmeal anywhere. Maybe a strange question, but has anybody who has been there lately seen a place at the resort that I can get a bowl of oatmeal to go for breakfast?

We were at Coronado for 8 nights (2 park days) with no cars. We took Uber everywhere and our average uber was $8.50. I think we took Uber 15 times. One tip....schedule them ahead of time if possible. We've used Uber a lot in previous trips ...it was always 2-8 minute waits. Our first few Ubers were 15-25 minute waits. After that we scheduled them in advance and was a much better experience

Did you always have to catch the Uber at the Tower, or would Uber pick up at the building you were staying at?

We were in Cabanas about as close to the Tower as possible so we always just walked to the tower to meet them. Uber did register our location as "Cabanas", but others will have to chime in as to whether drivers can actually get back to the outer buildings.

Just drove by CSR. Not sure what’s going on but crazy number of cars heading in, backed up on Buena Vista, looked like things backed up around the GDT. Looked popular! May have just been a temporary rush, not sure.

Uh oh could it be one of the Cheer or dance competitions?

 

[Tink3815]

Do we know if there any competitions or conventions coming the week before Easter 3-29 to 4-4.
