Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is an American Southwest-themed Disney Moderate Resort hotel set on Lago Dorado – a glimmering 22-acre lake – that invokes the spirit and romance of Spanish-colonial Mexico.
Conveniently located between Disney’s Animal Kingdom® and Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ theme parks, the brightly colored Spanish-style guest rooms, conference facilities, shops, restaurants and cantinas evoke a relaxing atmosphere inspired by a placid lifestyle where time goes by just a little bit slower than usual.
The nearly 2,000 guest rooms are separated into three distinctly themed areas. The “casitas” offer an urban terra cotta paradise. The rustic “ranchos” resemble charming Southwestern pueblos. And the “cabanas” provide a quaint beachfront retreat complete with cozy hammocks.
In addition to having a variety of Disney® theme parks right next door, resort guests are treated to several on-site luxuries including the choice of swimming in three heated pools, working out at the La Vida Health Club, playing at the Iguana Arcade and exploring the many trails around the resort!
Special rates for AFPPA conference attendees begin at $153 per night. To make your hotel reservations, book online or call 407.939.1020 today, and mention that you are with the AFPPA Spring 2012 conference. These rates are guaranteed only until February 28, 2012, and it is possible that the property will sell out before then.
Once your room reservation is booked, take advantage of Disney’s complimentary transportation service to and from the Orlando International Airport.
Call 407.WDW.DINE to make your leisure-time dining reservations up to 90 days in advance. See a listing of Disney Signature Dining restaurants, locations and menus here.
