Concept art for Disney Springs The first new restaurant of Disney Springs may be about to begin construction in the former Pleasure Island - soon to be 'The Landing.'

Bienvenidos!!!!   Welcome to Coronado Springs!!!      Although this is a Moderate resort, there are many highlights at this resort that separate it from the others in this category.

With a fun pool, great dining options, and amenities to fill your business needs, this is a perfect choice for families, couples, and business travelers.           Queen Beds with simple and elegant bedding The rooms at Coronado Springs are just a touch more upscale than the usual rooms you might find at a moderate.   This was the first moderate to upgrade to two Queen sized beds from double beds; they are fitted with a very simple white duvet cover, and a turquoise and gray bed runner.

Cast Members have been notified that the shop will be closing in January 2015, just under a year from now, and will reopen in the summer of 2015. No details about the specific plans have been made available, although Disney's Animal Kingdom is still awaiting its Starbucks location.
