THE DIG SITE AND LOST CITY OF CIBOLA POOL AT DISNEY’S CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT

The Lost City of Cibola Pool is the main pool at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

Themed to represent a lost Mayan ruin including a decaying pyramid handy for sun-bathing, it’s the second best family pool among the moderates.

For families, it’s bested only by the more kid-appealing pool at Caribbean Beach. It’s by far the best pool for adults among the moderates.

For kids, the appeal is the exotic theming, the playground, and the 123 foot water slide.

For adults, the appeal is the expanse of pool chairs, biggest hot tub at Disney World, and hot food at the pool bar.

The pool is centrally located in an area of Coronado Springs called in total “The Dig Site.”

See the map below. The Dig Site area and pool is just above the words “Lago Dorado.”

This area is convenient to the Ranchos and Cabanas, and some of the Casitas. Other Casitas rooms are a hike. Each of these three areas also has a smaller pool, and this smaller pool is particularly convenient if you are in buildings 1-3 at the Casitas and you don’t need the amenities and fun of the Dig Site.

The pyramid dominates the pool.

Next to it is an 120 foot+ water slide.

It’s plenty big, with plenty of varied lounging areas.

There’s also a fairly weak kids pool…

…a fire pit..

…a hot tub–the largest at Disney World…

…a volleyball court

…and a bar, Siestas, that unusually among the moderates serves hot food.

The menu–Siestas is now open for breakfast as well. I’ll get a menu for that on my next visit.

Nearby is an extensive playground, with a sand play area…

…slide…

…and jungle gym.

The entire area is called The Dig Site…

…and is particularly nice at night.

Each accommodations area has its own smaller pool as well–and those come next!
