Happy September! 🌵 RESORT OF THE MONTH: Disney's Coronado Springs Resort 🌊
If you want Disney magic without the Deluxe Resort price tag, meet the resort that quietly does it all: Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.
🏨 THE ROOMS
Every room here got a refresh, so you're getting modern, colorful spaces no matter your budget. Want to splurge a little? Book Gran Destino Tower — the crown jewel of the resort, with sweeping views and a lobby so gorgeous you'll want to just sit and stare at it (the chandelier alone is a whole vibe).
🌴 THE GROUNDS
A moderate resort, built around a shimmering lake called Lago Dorado. Walk around it, cross the bridges, or just admire it from a hammock. And don't skip the Dig Site pool! A "lost" Mayan pyramid complete with a 123-foot waterslide. Kids lose their minds over it. So do adults.
🎨 THE THEMING
Coronado Springs pulls its style from Mexico and the American Southwest, split across three sections — Casitas, Ranchos, and Cabanas — plus Gran Destino Tower rising above it all like a Spanish palace. Warm, colorful, and unmistakably Disney without leaning on a single movie or character.
🍽️ THE FOOD
Coronado really shines here. Toledo, on the top floor of Gran Destino, serves Spanish-inspired dishes with a skyline view that rivals any restaurant on property. Three Bridges Bar & Grill sits on its own island in the lake (yes, really) and has AMAZING churros. Maya Grill brings modern Mexican flavors, and El Mercado is the go-to for a quick, easy bite.
Drinks? Dahlia Lounge, also on the top floor of Gran Destino, serves craft cocktails and small plates in a gorgeous, light-filled space. Prefer something quieter? Barcelona Lounge is the lobby bar — coffee in the morning, w**e and cocktails at night. Perfect for a low-key nightcap.
Coronado Springs is proof that "moderate" doesn't mean "basic." If you love relaxing vibes balanced with busy park days, don't overlook this resort! Thinking about booking here? I've got the tips and tricks to make your stay magical. Send me a message — I'd love to help you plan it. ✨
