My Favorite Things about Coronado Springs


Last winter, we stayed at Coronado Springs for a long weekend. It was our first experience at a moderate resort and I want to share my 5 favorite things about Coronado Springs...and one thing I think could be improved.

1. The theming
It is a gorgeous resort with a Mayan theme and they incorporate the Three Caballeros into the resort seamlessly. I love the fountains and I especially enjoyed being able to use the different fountains as landmarks.


2. The food
We loved El Mercado de Coronado, the quick service restaurant (get the Chicken Rice Bowl!). Cafe Rix had some pretty good coffee and pastries and one of my favorite afternoons was spent waterside sipping a Cosmorita from the Laguna Bar.

3. The beds
They were so comfy. Do I need to go into more detail?



4. The renovated rooms
The rooms were so clean and well designed. The decor was slightly Disney, but mostly just pleasing.



5. The pool
While it was too cool to use the pool on our trip, it was a gorgeous pool area. I could have really enjoyed using the main pool or any of the smaller pools on the resort.



The one thing I didn't like...
The removal of carpet from the rooms, while helpful from a cleanliness perspective, leads to a lot of noise from the adjoining rooms.

1900 Park Fare at The Grand Floridian Resort



1900 Park Fare is a character buffet restaurant at The Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World Resort that features a wide variety of dishes. During the dinner service, you can meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia.

We had one of the first available dinner reservations for the dinner seating and we had plenty of time to go through the buffet line one time before the characters started making their rounds. We went to the buffet a second time after we met a couple of characters. The characters took a break and Chris went to the dessert bar to get us a plate to share. The only thing we didn't enjoy from the buffet was the lemon tart.

You can take a look at the food here first....

A signature dish, the strawberry bisque!

Catfish, Butternut squash ravioli, mashed potatoes, creamy chicken, cheese tortellini, broccoli salad

Blue Glowtini

Salmon, Jasmine Rice, Prime Rib, Mongolian Beef, Catfish and Mashed Potatoes

Our shared dessert plate-gummy bears, rice crispy treat, brownie, cannoli, and a lemon tart
Rum Swirl
And we got to meet the characters too!

Prince Charming mostly talked about how lovely Cinderella looked
 
Cinderella wondered if Gus Gus had been nibbling off the buffet
 
Lady Tremaine was discussing the difficulties of living in the castle
 
Anastasia wondered if she had the prettiest dress
 
Drizella asked if I was happy with my prince.
1900 Park Fare is not to be missed if you are staying at The Grand Floridian or if you love Cinderella.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tip


If you watch the late parade from Liberty Square, there are two trick or treat stations near by. You can swing through them a few times and stop for a mostly people free photo as you leave the park.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tip


Jafar was creepy. If you like Disney Villains, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is the event to go to! For the parade, if rain is not going to be an issue, go to the second parade and watch it from Liberty Square.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tip


When you are planning a night at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you need to decide what your priority will be. You can focus on rides, meeting the special characters or all the special events.

Personally, I like to do a little of each. A few rides, a couple of characters, the parade and the fireworks is usually my Halloween Party plan!
