CORONADO SPRINGS FAQ THREAD w/ PHOTOS (PART III)

[Skysdad]

Buzz,
What great pictures! Keep up the great work,

You really have us excited about our decission to stay at CSR for 2 nights in August and have us almost regretting that we booked OKW for 3 nights. CSR seems to have so much to offer.

On to my question

Do the pool ceremonies take place every day and at what time? DS loves the water and I am sure it would be a great memory for him to be part of the ceremony. I am just trying to fit this in to our busy schedule and wondering if we would be better off doing this on Saturday and heading to a park later in the day or on Sunday before we leave for the airport.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Well, looks like there is yet another conflicting date with the re-opening of the slide! Also, what do you think ONE SIDE OF THE JAGUAR SLIDE means?

Posted on ALLEARS.NET: Coronado Springs Resort's Jaguar Pool Slide will be closed March 31 - April 18, 2008. The Lost City of Cibola Pool will remain open during this time.

I guess we just have to keep our fingers crossed it will be open at some point when we are there April 18th through April 25th!

Is is possible that mouseplanet has old information? It seems like allears is usually on top of these things.

I just got a letter from Disney today announcing the slide closure (it was addressed to Disney's Coronado Springs Resort Guest). It states:

"Beginning March 31, 2008, the slide will be closed to Guests so we may begin a refinishing effort. We expect the work to be completed by the end of April 2008. The Lost City of Cibola pool will remain open during this time."

Hope this helps!

No cover charge at this time. They only charge for certain special events.

Thanks for all the great info!
I will be coming in weeks with 3 small children. How do I get as close to the Dig Site as possible? 8A? And that looks still pretty close to a bus stop and parking area.

We just received the same letter from "the Cast of the Coronado Springs Resort" as StitchandPooh'smom. Since they took the time to send the letter, I would think that would be the official slide rehab time period. It is great news that the rest of the pool area will be open---love the pool bar & food at the Dig Site!

Cabana's 8a is a great location. That is the building we stayed in. Bus stop #4 is right out back, and the pool is 30 seconds away. Any of the cabanas building are good thou. Enjoy!

Well, I just received my very own "For your future enjoyment" letter from Disney. I really hope that slide gets finished sooner than later!!!
(good thing we got that waterpark upgrade).

Does this resort have any connecting rooms? We are a family of 6 and I like to save every which way I can and getting 2 rooms is cheaper than the Jr suite. TIA!

They do have some connecting rooms. Not sure how many. You can request connecting rooms, but it's never a guarantee you'll get them unfortunately.
If you absolutely have to be together, then the suite would give you that guarantee - for the extra $ of course, but I've seen pictures and they look very nice!

50% of the rooms at CSR are connecting (door between).

It looks like breakfast will be the biggest challenge for the budget etc. I'm thinking I could bring a couple boxes of cereal and some bowls then grab some milk. Would this work? Where would I get the milk?
Any other in-room breakfast suggestions or options?
Thanks.
