Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Coronado Springs is the Disney Moderate that was built for adults as much as for families, which makes it unusual on the property.
30-Second Verdict
Book Coronado Springs if you want to be on Disney property at Moderate pricing with grown-up restaurants and a spa. Skip it if you need short transfers, because it is bus-only from the western side of the property, or if you want a resort aimed squarely at children.

Location and park fit
Coronado Springs sits on the western side of the property, closer to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios than to Magic Kingdom. Transport is by Disney bus to all four parks.
Rooms and family fit
Standard rooms sleep four. Gran Destino Tower adds a block of rooms with a different, more adult character and its own restaurants, which no other Disney Moderate has.
A family of five or six needs a different resort entirely.
Transport and mobility
Bus to every park. Internal walking distances are significant, because the resort is built around a lake with several villages.
Park benefits
Early Theme Park Entry as a Disney resort guest. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours have applied to Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts rather than Moderates.
Disney sets which hotels qualify for Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, and has changed both. Confirm the current rules on the official Walt Disney World site before booking for a benefit.
Pool and rest-day fit
The main pool has a water slide, and there is a full-service spa, which is rare at this tier. It works well for a slow afternoon and it is not a water park.
Cost beyond the room
No theme park parking for resort guests. The rooftop restaurant in Gran Destino Tower is one of the better meals available at a Disney Moderate.
You get adult-facing restaurants, a spa and Moderate pricing, and you give up every fast transport option Disney runs.
Alternatives worth comparing
Book this hotel
Rates in Orlando move constantly and depend on your dates, so check the current price rather than working from any figure on a website. Confirm resort fees, parking charges and any theme park benefit directly with the hotel or the park before you book.

Common questions
Is Coronado Springs good for families?
It works, and it is not aimed at children the way the Value resorts are. Families wanting theming and activity usually prefer Caribbean Beach or Port Orleans at the same tier.
Does Coronado Springs have a Skyliner?
No. Transport is by Disney bus to all four parks.
What is Gran Destino Tower?
A tower added to Coronado Springs with its own lobby, restaurants and a more contemporary room style, aimed at adults and convention guests.
