Disney’s Coronado Springs Standard Room (Photos, Amenities, and Video)

Since our last stay in the village, the rooms at Coronado Springs were completely updated. Of course, those updates are no longer new, but they still feel fresh and modern. Our past couple of stays have been at Gran Destino Tower, where we’ve compared a water view versus a resort view room.

We had several things planned for this stay, including a visit to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to discuss the pros and cons of staying at a moderate resort on a party night. However, due to a hurricane, we had to exchange our party night for one the following week. So we stayed in the room for the majority of our two-night stay.

As it turned out, our room at Coronado Springs wasn’t the worst place to ride out a hurricane. Thankfully, we felt snug and secure on the second floor of the Cabanas section. As mentioned earlier, our standard view room looked out to the parking lot. Hence, the reason I was happy to be able to see our car during the storm.

That said, the only time the curtains were opened was to check on the car or see what the weather was doing. So, I don’t think it’s necessary to pay for a water view upgrade when it comes to staying in the villages. However, when staying in a deluxe resort, I often throw caution to the wind and book a room with a view upgrade. Who doesn’t want to sit on a balcony and watch animals on the savanna or see the nightly fireworks from one of the parks?

So, in some instances, room views are important. We don’t, however, consider them a big deal when you’re staying in a room that doesn’t offer a balcony. The other village room upgrade in the village section of the resort is a preferred room. These are rooms located in the Casitas section of the resort near the main lobby, dining, and shopping.

A standard guest room at Coronado Springs comes with two queen beds. A few rooms have a king bed, but that is an upgrade that comes at an additional cost.

We were impressed with the mattresses and felt they were soft and comfortable.

Several electrical and USB outlets were available between the beds.

Light fixtures were positioned above each bed. Additionally, each side of the bed had a small pin light that automatically turned on when in use. Silhouette artwork between the beds features Donald Duck as part of The Three Caballeros.

Platform-style beds allow plenty of storage underneath for luggage. This is a newer amenity I’ve come to appreciate over the past few years. Often, we have multiple pieces of luggage. While I still use a luggage rack for my largest suitcase, I now utilize the space under the bed for other items and purchases.

Instead of having a table and chairs, the rooms at Coronado Springs have a desk that serves several purposes. The top offers space to work, eat, or store items.

This extra work light comes in handy. More outlets and USB ports are available along the countertop.

On the far left-hand side, a cabinet opens to reveal a beverage cooler. Note that these beverage coolers have warnings saying they are meant to chill items. They are not designed to keep anything fully refrigerated. So be cautious about what you store in them.

Here, we have an ice bucket and a few disposable cups.

A Keurig coffee maker is available. When these first came out, I thought they were an excellent idea. However, the coffee I’ve tried since then hasn’t been that great. So now I venture out for a decent cup of coffee on most hotel stays. You can pick up a cappuccino or similar specialty coffee at Rix Sports Bar & Grill off the main lobby. Also, the Barcelona Lounge at Gran Destino Tower has a few decent options when it comes to coffee. See our guide with every coffee option at Coronado Springs for more details.

A stand-alone chair sits toward the front of the room. It was pretty comfortable, and I loved the Disney artwork hanging above it.

Even more impressive is the guest bathroom in the room at Coronado Springs. It has a vanity area with a separate water closet.

The vanity housed two sinks with a ledge above it, providing an excellent spot to place personal items.

Underneath each sink, additional cabinet space was available.

A built-in closet stands inside the bath area.

Inside, there’s an extra pillow, blanket, iron, ironing board, luggage rack, and a place to hang clothes. (If you need extra pillows and blankets, you can call housekeeping from your room’s phone, and they’ll bring some straight over. You can also use the Hey Disney! device in your room.)

Here, we have a stand-alone shower with glass doors and a toilet.

The shower had a rainfall fixture and a separate removable showerhead, which helps with bathing children. Also, you might notice a small ledge, which allows us, ladies, a good place to help shave our legs.

Thankfully, the water closet has a separate pocket door. So one guest can use the bath area, while another uses the vanity area. In addition, the vanity area has a set of doors you can close to separate this space from the rest of the room. So, multiple guests can have a private space to get ready simultaneously.

Final Thoughts

Overall, this visit to Coronado Springs was enjoyable, even in a hurricane. This room exceeded my expectations, and I could see how its amenities could benefit many families. Coronado Springs is an excellent resort with many amenities comparable to a deluxe resort. It’s pretty tough to beat.
