Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Overview
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is named after Don Francisco de Coronado and is situated near to Disney's Animal Kingdom but also provides easy access to Disney-MGM Studios and Blizzard Beach.
It is themed on the American Southwest with influences of Mexico, Colonial Spain and New Mexico in the colorful plazas, palm shaded courtyards, regal cactus and fountains. The Resort is situated around the 15 acre Lago Dorado (Lake of Gold) with three distinct villages.
The villages are named The Casitas, The Ranchos and The Cabanas. Each village consists of a group of 2 and 3 storey motel type buildings (13 in total) with terra-cotta tiled roofs styled after Spanish haciendas, villas and Mexican-style bungalows.
Transportation to the Disney theme parks, water parks and Downtown Disney is by Disney motor coach.
