Coronado Springs
This place is HUGE!!!
It took us a long time to find our room and it was in 3.
We only stayed one night, but man is it a Very BIG place!!!!
Does anyone make this their "home" resort? If so what are your reasons? Not judging just curious.
Thanks
PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE RIDE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP!!!

We stayed at CS New Year's 2012 and I just LOVED it! I will stay there again if I can talk DH into it. I love Pepper Market, the outdoor patio area, the pool area is great, the place is so peaceful just about any time of the day or night.

We love CSR. We love all the extra amenities, the great pool and the theme.
-
One time I had a room at Beach Club that seemed miles away from the lobby. I thought I'd never find my room, and in fact, I was in the very furthest building towards Epcot. It was super convenient to get to the International Gateway though. Point is, CSR isn't the only 'big' resort.
We love CSR! By far our favorite moderate, for the theming, the refurbished rooms and peaceful atmosphere.

I've only stayed there once but I loved it and would stay there again. Loved the theming. It made me feel like I was at a spa in Sedona or something. Very peaceful and the pool is awesome! I didn't feel it was too big but we were in the casitas pretty close to the main building and bus stop.

You should see Fort Wilderness sometime. It's so huge it has an internal bus route! Mel's right - Coronado Springs isn't uncommonly large. I'm staying there in a couple weeks -- luckily we will have our car so we won't have too far of a walk every night from the parking lots near the buildings.

We consider CSR to be our WDW home away from home. We find the theme of this resort to be very relaxing. It is in a prime location for transport to the parks via the bus system, and we've always had good bus service here. We have always been assigned to Ranchos but I didn't find that the walk to the main building to be very far (less than 10 minutes per way.) I liked watching the sunrise over the lake in the morning, and one day, a CM showed me that you can see EE from the beach of the Cabana section. We have had good CM service here in general. We also liked that the divider between the bathroom and sleeping area was the sliding doors. We found that it was a good place to calm our son down when he needed some quiet space to settle down for the night.

Its a gorgeous resort, a lot of Deluxe upgrades at Mod prices, one of the best pools on site. It is not that bad of a walk unless you are at one of the farthest Rancho buildings. The "quick service" restaurant is a little getting use to, but is one of the better options (but it does cost more).

I requested to stay in the Ranchos buildings this next time I go (I like the look of them!) and I was trying to figure out how long the walk was to the main building to refill our resort mugs would be. Less than 10 minutes is the perfect length of time for a nice stroll. Thanks for the info!

DW and I consider CSR our home resort now. Yes, it is big. Except for when a mega conference descends, it is a quiet retreat. We love the landscaping and water features (lake, pools & fountains) and it is a great place to go for a walk or run with a great gym.
If you have your own car, we find it to be easily accessible to the various park, resorts and activities of WDW. To us, it feels like the top end of the moderate resorts.

You have to try the Maya Grill. Great place to eat that many are unaware of.

We have only stayed there once, but we loved the peacefulness of CSR. It feels much more adult to us because of the convention centre and therefore seems much quieter during the morning hours especially.
The walk over the bridge to get to the lobby is so scenic with all of the flowers and butterflies. And we loved sitting outside while eating to soak in the scenery and people watch. We had our most relaxing Disney vacation ever at CSR! The bus system seemed so much better too- less waiting at either ends of the route!
Enjoy every second!!

We have only stayed at CSR once, and it was years ago, but we really enjoyed our stay there. We were in Cabanas 8 A or B, I think, so we weren't too far from anything.
If you thought CSR was too big, do yourself a favor and don't stay at CBR or SSR. Those two were the resorts we felt were the largest. And I agree with whoever said even some of the resorts not known for their huge size can have rooms that feel very far from everything. During one of our stays at AKL Jambo House we thought we'd never get to our room. It was a hike to say the least!

We LOVE CSR! It is our favorite moderate resort! Love the theme. We always stay in the Cabana section. Love the hammocks in the sand. Kids love the themed pool and slide and the play area next to it. We always get the DP and the pepper market offers a great deal for your counter service credits.
