Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is a large hotel property in Bay Lake comprising multiple building sections and recreational areas within Walt Disney World. The property is divided into four distinct sections: Casitas, Ranchos, Cabanas, and Gran Destino Tower, with each area featuring its own architectural style connected by courtyards, lakes, and landscaped grounds.
The resort opened in 1997 as the first moderate-level hotel at Walt Disney World to include convention facilities for conferences and large groups. The property expanded significantly with the opening of Gran Destino Tower in 2019, adding guest rooms, rooftop dining, and modern amenities.
The resort draws from Spanish and Mexican cultural traditions, visible in its architecture, indoor decor, and the names of its sections and buildings. Visitors experience these influences through fountains, artwork, and landscaping that evoke a sense of colonial exploration and historical settlement patterns.
The resort provides accessible facilities including elevators, ramps, and specially designed rooms for guests with different mobility needs, with trained staff available to assist. Free shuttle service connects all sections of the property and links to nearby theme parks, making it easy to navigate the extensive grounds.
The property features Gran Destino Tower with an advanced elevator system and rooftop restaurant called Toledo, distinguishing it from other Disney hotels. The Lost City of Cibola serves as a large themed pool area with a pyramid-shaped water slide inspired by Mayan architecture that draws visitors through its water-themed design.
