I figured that was the case for the table service, but I wouldn't think so for the quick service/food court. But I don't know. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, that's definitely something that can happen. . . especially at resorts that have multiple stops. We're had it happen to us and we've done the same thing. It's an extra step, but can definitely be worth it if you're in that position.

And as I typed that I was again struck by the strange position we find ourselves in .... Loving WDW but wishing there were fewer kids makes no sense, we know. 🤯

I stayed in a water view Grand Destino Tower room a few years ago (not at a convention). Something I noticed was the lack of Disney branding at the resort as opposed to a lot of the other Disney resorts. Maybe a few instances, but it's almost as if they were intentionally hiding it... and maybe some people like it that way. At least in your room they had 3 Caballeros sprinkled in; in the tower it was absent except for some hidden mickeys in hallway carpeting. The views from the room were incredible with Expedition Everest and other parts of Animal Kingdom in view, and at night overlooking the water and resort with the beautiful lighting. But the downsides do outweigh the upsides to CSR. Unless you are there for business, I won't stay there again. Great review video!!

First of all, I totally understand where you're coming from with the whole loving Disney but not always loving being surrounded by kids. It makes sense. . . . I got you. . . . 😉 We loved the resort for the same reasons you did. The atmosphere and the ambiance. It felt upscale and romantic in spots, which we loved. The thing that killed the vibe for us was the number of people doing business around the resort, specifically in those spots we were hoping to enjoy, during our stay. This, of course, could easily be a timing issue. 🤷 It's one of the reasons we feel very conflicted about this resort though. . . The procing is another one of those things that we wouldn't have necessarily noticed if we were just passing through, though we would have undoubtedly felt like it was overpriced, which is something that would be easy to brush off it you are anticipating Disney being overpriced anyway. Fair point. That's one of the reasons that we make a point to talk about it though, just so people can be prepared. Question for you though, if you don't mind me asking: Did you opt for Disney Transportation to get around or were you driving yourself? What were our thoughts compared to some other places you've stayed?

This is what I liked about Coronado..It's not a place for young kids, and you aren't assaulted by constant Disney theming. You can also get away from everyone and just walk around the lake w/o being should to shoulder. Ideal for introverts to take a breath. I didn't go in tower very often and honestly never even thought about it. Also never thought about food prices because Disney is expensive no mater what. Next time we go, we are going to get snacks, drinks, water and keep in our room.

Well, I know it's a work thing, but we hope you have a great time.
