PHOTO TOUR OF A STANDARD ROOM AT DISNEY’S CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT

The rooms at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, while generally familiar to those who have stayed in other traditional moderate resorts, do have some real distinctions–some from a different approach to handling warm and cool air, but most from adapting the basic layouts to the needs of convention visitors.

You’ll find two queens separated by a night table on one side of the room.

The night table has a drawer large enough for important books.

Here’s a view of beds from the bath side of the room.

The linens are elegant in a way typical of the room’s furnishings and fittings.

To the right of the bed you’ll see one consequence of the change to the handling of warm and cool air–a walled off area that at other moderates is open.

In the other moderates, air treatment is handled by a unit in each room below the front window. At Coronado Springs, each of the buildings does heating and cooling for a group of rooms, and distributes it via the vents you can see above.

As a result, the area right in front of the windows is open. You’ll find there, instead of an air handler, two ottomans. These can be used as chairs and moved around the room.

On the side of the room away from the beds, you’ll find a desk–not the table and chairs found here in the other moderates–and an integrated dresser/mini-fridge/TV unit.

Here’s the same side of the room as seen from the bath area.

The desk is fine for one person to work at, and, if you pull over an ottoman, can also serve as a table.

After the desk, the next feature of the room inspired by taking care of two convention visitors per room is the combined TV thingy/dresser/fridge, the next item along this wall.

Note the two columns of drawers. The other moderate rooms typically have several large drawers for a family; these rooms have six smaller ones, so that two conventioneers can each have a stack of drawers.

Next to these is a mini-fridge. Beyond, rather than the kids bench you’ll find in other moderates, is blank space–perfect for a luggage rack.

A couple of points distinguish the Coronado Springs baths from those at other moderates–each meant to reinforce that the expectation is that only one of two conventioneers will use it at a time. The bath has just one sink.

Moreover, instead of being separated from the rest of the space by fabric curtains, rolling wooden doors isolate the bath from the sleeping area. You can see these reflected in the mirror in the shot of the sink, and right above is a shot of these doors closed, from the bedroom side. In the other moderates, you’ll find similar doors only in the refurbed rooms at Caribbean Beach.

Also in this area is the hanging rod, iron, and ironing board.

Finally, as usual, the tub and toilet area is in its own separate walled enclosure.

There’s a couple of these differences between Coronado Springs rooms and rooms in the other traditional moderates that I see as losses for family visitors–the lost sink, the lost table and two chairs, the lost kids bench.

Others, however, are clear positives–the extra living space in front of the window, the extra drawers, the two ottomans, and the wooden bath separator.

On balance, I think these rooms are just fine for families, but you may have to think about each little difference compared to the other traditional moderates in the context of your specific family!
