Coronado Springs Resort: A Hidden Gem in Disney World

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is often overlooked by visitors to Disney World. However, this hotel has undergone significant renovations in recent years and now offers a luxury experience at a fraction of the cost of Deluxe Resorts.

The Gran Destino Tower, completed in 2019, features modern, sleek rooms with stunning views of the lake or EPCOT fireworks in the distance. The tower's design is inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios' short film, Destino, giving it a unique and elevated feel.

The hotel also boasts an impressive array of dining options, including one of Disney's top-rated restaurants, Toledo - Tapas, Steak & Seafood, which has earned a spot in the Michelin Guide. There are ten restaurants and lounges throughout the resort, offering something for every taste and budget.

One of the main advantages of staying at Coronado Springs is its location in the Animal Kingdom Resort area, making it easy to get to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. However, be aware that the hotel only offers bus transportation to and from the theme parks, which can sometimes be slow.
