Podcasts about coronado springs resort

Step into a world where Disney magic meets Spanish elegance at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. In our latest episode, we're unpacking everything you need to know about our weeklong stay at the Grand Destino Tower—a magnificent addition that's transforming how we think about moderate resorts at Walt Disney World.From the moment you enter the dramatic lobby with its Moorish-inspired hanging lanterns and intricate bronze screens, you realize this isn't your typical Disney moderate. We explore how this unique resort—Disney's first designed specifically for conventions and business travelers—creates an experience that feels decidedly more upscale without the deluxe price tag. The subtle Disney touches are there if you look for them, hidden Mickeys woven into luxurious surroundings that draw inspiration from the fascinating collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali.The Grand Destino Tower offers surprising amenities, from the destination dispatch elevator system (which takes some getting used to!) to rooftop dining and lounges with breathtaking views of Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. We dive into the extensive dining options that might just surprise you—including our personal experience watching Fantasmic while sipping a smoky Oaxacan Old Fashioned at Dahlia Lounge. Though transportation relies solely on Disney's bus system, we discovered the resort is much better positioned than it appears on maps, with surprisingly quick access to most parks.Is this moderate resort right for your family's next Disney vacation? We share our honest thoughts about who would love this resort and who might want to look elsewhere. If you're planning a Walt Disney World trip and wondering whether the Grand Destino Tower delivers the perfect balance of Disney magic and sophisticated relaxation, this episode is your essential guide.

From architectural details to dining and entertainment, this new look would celebrate the rich heritage of Mexico while providing a unique and heartfelt experience for guests.What could this reimagined resort look like? Think vibrant, artful spaces filled with life, joy, and music—a true fusion of Coco's spirit with the spirit of Disney resorts. Will it be the perfect getaway for families looking for both relaxation and adventure, or a cultural journey that sparks connections with loved ones and tradition?

El Mercado de Coronado is the quick service restaurant at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and you won't have a bad meal while you're there, but it won't blow you away. The eatery features only a few Tex Mex-style dishes and then a variety of sandwiches and pastas which doesn't feel like it blends with the rest of the resort.Links:Important DIS links for more information!Support us on Patreon and receive exclusive content!

Welcome to Episode 7 of The People It Takes! In this weeks episode, our host, Lauryn, sits down at Coronado Springs Resort with former cast member, current theme park reviewer and content creator, Josh, also known as JVTV. Before becoming a familiar face on social media, Josh was a participant in the Disney College Program. Not only was Josh one of the last people in the parks before Covid, but also had his program cut short because of it. With arguably the most fun role there is, Josh interacted with nearly every visitor at the magic kingdom from day to day. Though he is no longer with Disney, Josh still creates magic for theme park lovers as a content creator. I have no doubt, even knowing him only a short time, that Josh brought joy to many, many guests as one of The People It Takes. We hope you enjoy this episode and we are SO happy you're here. ALL opinions and experiences are our own, I, as well as my guests, do not speak on behalf of The Walt Disney Company in any way.

This week, Sam Rosswood shares the story of her Tree of Life ceremony at Animal Kingdom and Lantana Hall & Courtyard reception at Coronado Springs Resort. She and Zach met while working at a zoo, so Animal Kingdom has always been a special place for them. Today Sam shares details of the ceremony, including how they decided on early morning instead of late at night and how glad she was that she skipped upgraded lighting effects in favor of the basic lighting included in the Ceremony Venue Fee. She also shares how Disney was able to accommodate multiple food allergies and special diets at her reception, plus how the having a silhouette artist can work triple-duty as entertainment, guest favors and a guest book!

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort opened at Walt Disney World in 1997 across from Disney's Blizzard Beach water park. Closely situated near Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, Coronado Springs includes 10 dining locations (Toledo, Maya Grill, Three Bridges, Rix Sports Bar, Barcelona Lounge, Dahlia Lounge and more) and an array of amenities, pools and recreation, and even the largest conference center at Walt Disney World. With outer buildings (casitas, ranchos, and cabanas) as well as the 2019 addition of Gran Destino Tower, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is perhaps the most versatile hotel on property with options ranging from standard moderate rooms to club-level presidential suites. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history and details of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, along with the many reasons you should consider staying here on your next Walt Disney World vacation.
