The expansion at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will include a new 15-story tower that will add 500 rooms, featuring suites and concierge level services. The resort will also refurbish its current resort rooms and transform its landscape with floating gardens and an island oasis that connects the resort through a series of bridges.
The new tower overlooking Lago Dorado, the resort’s centerpiece lake, will allow guests to experience something truly unique, rooftop dining with panoramic views of popular nighttime fireworks from nearby Disney theme parks.
If you read the article CBR is also getting upgrades throughout the resort including new dining, retail and more. No mention of a room expansion here though.Not surprising. Gotta wine and dine those convention guests with deep pockets.(don't get me wrong I think it's a fine idea but that's probably the reason behind it) I think it's funny how this got announced with all the Caribbean beach rumors
Yeah that's why I slipped in my other reply that your most likely didn't see. This seemed really out of left field thoughIf you read the article CBR is also getting upgrades throughout the resort including new dining, retail and more. No mention of a room expansion here though.
I agree however Coronado had permits filed before CBR but it didn't indicate as much work there. CBR is having several buildings removed and the potential Gondola.Yeah that's why I slipped in my other reply that your most likely didn't see. This seemed really out of left field though
Maybe but it's not currently part of the plan.I know Coronado isn't mentioned in the Gondola/Skyway post, but is there thinking this will connect with DHS/AK eventually? It's not very far to either.
Here is the thinking. New amenities at both Coronado Springs and Caribbean Beach resorts. Coronado has the business clientele for conventions. Caribbean will be getting DVC. These two resorts now become "Deluxe" resorts and are charged as such. No moderate level DVC anymore.
Bingo.That seems most likely based on everything you're talking about.
I'm wondering if they might bump AoA up to the same "category/tier" as Port Orleans now. The resort feels more inline with the current moderates, and adding the skyline would only add to that.
I get that Disney is likely looking to remove resort categorization, but just going on how we currently look at them.
Both start this year according to permits.This could be interesting... When does the Caribbean work start? I go down in May and that's where I'll be staying
I guess?Did I read correctly that they're putting an island in the middle of lago dorado?
