I have a mother daughter (she is 8) trip planned for November, we are up to 3 hotels for different parts of a 5 night trip (universal is in there as well)! Don’t ask I tend to go over board! Arrival night, 2 nights at Disney and 2 at universal. We have to switch for universal as I want the express pass and it’s included with my hotel room there.
For the 2nd part (2 nights), I had the beach club booked which is one of my favorites for location and pool. However today I moved to Coronado for about $700 less!
I’m 2nd guessing myself, we will arrive close to 8/9am drop our bags and head to HS where we will spend most of the day, we might purchase a ILL for guardians and hit up Epcot later. The next day is Epcot hopefully for Ratatouille, VQ and ILL for guardians and maybe some food and wine, then at MK by 2 for lunch and the Christmas party.
We aren’t really going to be at the hotel that much, if DD wanted to do the pool on HS day we would, but she has told me her goal is to ride all her favs twice at HS….pray for me!
If a monorail resort opened up I would switch for easy return to room after the party, but if not do you think I’m going to be disappointed with Coronado strictly based on bus and location. I know the actual hotel will fit our needs.
