Coronado or Riverside

They mentioned I could save $1,000 by staying at Coronado. I love Riversides theme, pool and that you can ride the boat to Disney Springs. It's the only resort on property I have ever stayed at... so I have no idea about Coronado. I know it is currently under construction and looks large so I worry about that. But $1,000 savings sounds hard to pass up... any advice or information?

Re: Coronado or Riverside

When are you going? The main pool at Coronado is scheduled to close for renovations in September and construction is expected to last approximately 4 months. There are a couple of quiet pools that will be open during that time. Other than that, the construction is really a non-issue because they’re doing one building at a time.

I can’t compare POR to Coronado because we’ve only stayed at Coronado, but the size of the property isn’t as big as it may seem. For $1000 savings, I’d switch. They’re both moderates, so it’s not as though you’re not changing from a mod to a value which might affect someone’s decision.

Re: Coronado or Riverside

We stayed at Coronado the Summer before last for a couple of nights. I was less than impressed. Our room was in the Cabanas section, near the main pool and it was very rundown. Mousekeeping was terrible. My sister stayed for a week and said it was her least favorite resort. Bus service was awful. Too many internal stops. I also found their food court to be higher priced than any others, probably because it's a convention hotel.
