When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, often one of the biggest considerations you have to make is where you’re going to stay.

With more than 25 hotels, let’s just say that Disney isn’t making things easy for you. Do you save as much as you can and stay in a Value Resort? Do you go all out and take the plunge on one of the Deluxe Resorts? Or will you choose the middle option, one of the Moderate Resorts? Well, to try and help you out, let’s talk about this one forgotten Disney World hotel and why Disney insiders are quietly flocking to it. Maybe it’ll help you make your decision!

As we were saying, there’s this one Disney World hotel that’s more or less gone forgotten by those not in the know, and that’s why we’re here to keep you informed! So, say hello to Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort! It’s definitely becoming the go-to spot for Disney insiders and we wanted to share with you a couple of the reasons why! Let’s dive right in!

It’s a Tranquil Escape in the Middle of All the Magic (and Madness)

First up, one of the biggest draws of Coronado Springs is its peaceful vibe. Unlike some of the more popular Disney resorts that are constantly buzzing with energy, this place offers a much more laid-back atmosphere.

It’s the kind of resort where you can really unwind after a long and busy day at the parks by soaking in the serenity that surrounds the gorgeous 22-acre Lago Dorado.

Whether you’re strolling along the scenic walkways or sitting by the lake, the calm here is a refreshing and welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle you find just about everywhere else in Disney World.

Attracting a Different Crowd

Now, part of what makes Coronado Springs so relaxing is its unique clientele. The resort has a reputation for attracting business travelers, thanks to its stellar convention center (it’s Disney’s largest by the way).

What that means is that you’re more likely to share the space with quiet professionals than a bunch of large, energetic school groups. In that case, it’s perfect for those who are looking for a more “adult-centric” Disney experience but without sacrificing any of the Disney magic.

It’s a Hub for Networking and Events

Speaking of those business travelers, Coronado Springs is a hub for conventions and events. Its massive convention center brings in people from all over the world, which makes it a fantastic place to meet interesting people. You never know who you might bump into at the resort.

Plus, you really can’t beat the convenience. If you’re coming to Disney World for an event and staying at the resort, you won’t have to bother with a commute. All you’ll have to do is just stroll over to the convention center from your hotel room when you’re ready to get down to business.

It’s So Grand You Might Not Need the Parks

Now, enough about business, let’s get back to the rest of the resort. You’ll find that the beauty of Coronado Springs lies in its expansiveness. This resort is so big and packed with things to do that you might find yourself perfectly happy without ever stepping foot in the parks.

Maybe you’ll go for a morning jog around the 0.9-mile loop surrounding Lago Dorado. It really is a great way to start your day, and the scenic views will make you feel worlds away from the hecticness of the parks.

The grounds are also perfect for evening strolls, which is definitely a more “peaceful” way to wind down after a long day of adventuring in the parks.

Delightful Dining

Another reason insiders are flocking to Coronado Springs is because of the food! The resort boasts some seriously impressive dining options that can rival those of Disney’s deluxe resorts.

From the sophisticated flavors at Toledo (don’t miss its rooftop views), to the hearty Mexican-inspired dishes at Maya Grill, you’ll find something here for every palate.

Truly, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a full dining experience, you won’t be disappointed.

Central to Everything, Yet a World Apart

Even though it can feel like you’ve been whisked away to the middle of nowhere (because of its peaceful atmosphere), Coronado Springs is actually pretty centrally located which makes it a breeze to get to all four of the parks and Disney Springs without too much fuss.

That means you’ll be spending less time on the bus and more time enjoying your Disney experience, whether that’s riding your favorite attraction or simply enjoying the fireworks.

All in all, Coronado Springs Resort really offers a unique blend of tranquility, convenience, and a touch of luxury that’s hard to find anywhere else on the Disney World property. If you’ve never been before, it might be time to give this forgotten gem a try.
