Disney's Coronado Springs Expansion: Updated 11/14/18 with Name Reveal
11/14/18
As part of a presentation at IAAPA 2018, Disney has announced a name and more details for the expansion of the Coronado Springs resort:

The tower, which will be completed in July 2019, will serve as the new main entrance point for guests visiting the resort, and will add a total of 545 new guest rooms (including 50 suites) to the resort, as well as feature a gorgeous two-story lobby. A themed table-service restaurant is also planned for the top of Gran Destino Tower, which will serve up delicious food and incredible views of the Walt Disney World Resort.
An oasis set on the shore of Lago Dorado, the reimagined Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort celebrates the daring spirit of the great Spanish explorers, artists, writers and architects. Throughout the resort, guests will discover a blend of classic Spanish influences, imaginative Disney touches and modern comforts both inside and out. The resort’s more than 1,800 existing rooms have also been fully updated with new fixtures, furnishings and lighting. A second new restaurant is planned to open on an island in the middle of the resort’s 14-acre lake, Lago Dorado, with new walkways stretching across the water, making it convenient no matter where guests stay at the resort. And a fresh color palette will tie the entire resort experience together, blending the new and the newly reimagined.
Not mentioned in the announcement, but it would seem too coincidental that the tower shares a name with a film project between Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí (Destino) and would not be taking some inspiration from the films motifs and aesthetics.

Atop the tower, you can look forward to dining in a themed and unique table-service restaurant that will provide incredible views of Walt Disney World Resort.
The rest of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is being refreshed, as well. All 1,800-plus existing rooms have been fully updated with new fixtures, furnishings and lighting. Another new restaurant will be located on an island in the middle of the resort’s 14-acre lake, Lago Dorado, with new walkways stretching across the water allowing for quick and convenient walks to and from all parts of the resort. And a fresh, sophisticated color palette will tie the entire experience together, blending the new and the newly reimagined.
The completion date for the project has been set as Summer 2019.

I know Disney's definition of Summer can be up to and including November 30th, but I don't see them coming close to completion on that tower by then. We passed by it on most bus rides last week and unless I am missing something two-thirds of the floors looked like they were nothing but concrete shells with little to no interior work beyond I assume utilities.

My sister is attending a big conference for corporate event management professionals in Las Vegas this week and is meeting with the people from Disney Meetings later today (as I am posting this after midnight). She said she will pass along any details she gets to me, which I will in turn share with you (if I can without putting my sister’s job in jeopardy).
