We are staying at Coronado Springs in December. I have very bad knees. What is a good building to request that is close to the food court and bus stop? Thank you!

We stayed in Casitas 3 when there. It was a 5 minute walk to the main building and 3 minutes to a bus stop. That being said they are currently remodeling rooms in the Casitas. I do not know what buildings or how this will affect people staying in the area. Have a great trip

Don't forget there is some food options at the pool area too. Breakfast and lunch/dinner.

I like Cabanas building 8A. While it's not super close to the main buildings, it's not too far and a lovely walk (although that may have changed temporarily with the construction). 8A is close to the main pool (there's a quick service place there), and close to a bus stop. If you need to go to the main building, you can get on any bus going to a park (not the Disney Springs bus); the bus then stops at the main building before heading out to the park. It's a great location. IMO, it's both quiet and very convenient to most things.

It's not particularly a good location of you want to use the gym a lot. :lift: :lift: :lift:

I would highly recommend the Cabanas. They are generally closer to the pool than Casitas, and closer to the main hub than the Ranchos. We stayed last time in Cabanas building 8B. It was close to the pool, and relatively close to the main building. It was very close to the bus stop, which was nice in the morning. We love this resort. You have made an excellent choice. Buildings 9A and 9B are closer to the hub, but a little further from the pool, than 8B. So if you are less concerned about the pool, you can check those. I believe 9A only has preferred rooms.

Cabanas 9B or even 9A are really not that much further away from all the dining options than the casitas at Coronado Springs. Plus they are closer to El Centro and the bus stop there, and also to the main pool. I think the Casitas area is pretty, but love the Cabanas.

Cabanas 9B doesn't exist anymore. That building was demolished to make way for the new high rise tower. 9A remains, but with the construction going on, the only own walkway to get to that building is rather long and circuitous.

Oh no, 9B was my favorite building! Thanks for enlightening me, Steve!

Casita 1, 2, and 3 are preferred rooms but 1 and 3 are closed for renovations. ! is partially opening up this past week.
