For the first 7 nights, we stayed at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort a Mexican/Mayan themed resort right between the Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios/Epcot. Shawn was really disappointed in the room size for the price, but having stayed in the Animal Kingdom Lodge during our previous trip, Dave and I knew what to expect and were pleased. The room itself was tiny, outdated, and could have been cleaner. But, the grounds were amazing and I would definitely stay here again. Plus, you're really paying for the bus service to and from all the parks (which is just SUPER convenient), the early openings/late closings just for resort guests, and most importantly during peak season...Fast Passes!! The fast passes saved our whole trip, it would have been miserable to stand in the lines...some of the wait times were as much as 90 minutes, but with our passes, we'd wait no more than 5 or 10 minutes.
Here's some pictures of the hotel grounds....
I love how the Disney hotels are kind of an "experience", they definitely go the extra mile customer service wise and all the details of their resorts are amazing!
Owen LOVED the pool area...I didn't take too many pictures there, but, it was pretty amazing. They had a playground off to the left of this Mayan temple and a water slide that wrapped around the temple and emptied right on the right side of the picture. To the right of the pool was an area for the little ones where they had water that squirted out of the ground to run around in...know what I am talking about? There was also a hot tub and a bar as well as two additional pools on the grounds. We could have just spent our vacation at the pool!
This is just a random extra...there were lizards EVERYWHERE!! I counted 7 between the hotel and the car one day. Owen really enjoyed them. You should have heard the croaking at night, there must have been hundreds or even thousands of frogs there too, although, we only ever saw one! We also saw 2 hummingbirds while we were there, I just LOVE them!
