April stay at Coronado

[zarapipe]

Alright while I free moment I thought I would give a short recap of our trip so far. 3 nights, 4 days, 2 of those being park days. Dh,me (26 weeks pregnant) , 2 girls (9&4). We were going to drive but a week before our trip I found a steal on Spirit airlines so we flew. Our travel agent was amazing and changed our room dates by a day earlier and arranged magical express for it. A travel agent is amazing for even this reson alone! Oh my gosh, so much easier flying! Magical express was a breeze and we got to Coronado at 1pm. At at the food court, went to our room, and swam. Our room is in the casitas which is very convenient to the main food but further away from the main pool. It has the first bus stop both ways which was convenient. The pool is the highlight. It’s huge, has an awesome slide, and playground which my youngest loves. After we swam we ate at maya grill- I had fajitas, dh shrimp tacos and the girls shared a grilled chix breast meal and I added a fruit cup for them. It was good.


I don’t think we would stay here again. It just doesn’t feel very Disney like. This is our third trip. First was offsite, 2nd was dvc rental at poly so we were spoiled. This just doesn’t have any Disney feel to it. The rooms are nice, the pool is great, but we miss the Poly. It evens smells like Disney there haha,

We are staying there at the end of the month. My girls are so excited for the pool, since the last time it was too cold to swim. You are right - that resort has a different feel to it. I don’t mind it though, and I like it better than some of the others (like All star sports). We have never stayed at any monorail resorts. Some day...

Day 2. Magic kingdom. We aren’t coaster riders and do low key rides. We got there about 830, got coffee and waited for the opening little show at 9. Dd1 wanted to do haunted mansion so she and dh went to that while little one and I got a Nutella waffle. We met up with dh and dd1 and she was crying bc the ride scared her. We went to Peter Pan and it already had a 30 minute wait so we rode that. Then it’s a small world, carousel, Pooh bear ride, then a bathroom break. Dd2 is afraid of characters so when dd1 decides she wanted to see daisy in the big top area next to dumbo, dh and her did dumbo, then after we saw the characters we all ride again. Next cake teacups, then FP for little mermaid. We were all hungry and tried Columbia harbor house for the first time using mobile order. That was such a. Time saver!!! We sat upstairs and the food was really good. We got a kids meal, one adult platter and dh got a salad and fries. We then went to use FP for jungle cruise and magical carpets. I was able to get a fourth FP for the buzz ride that shoots? What is that one called? While we waited for our time we did the people mover. Finally we got some Mickey bars and watched the parade which was awesome as always. The girls loved it. We headed out right after the parade and only waited a few minutes for a bus. Overall we got a lot done, although we missed enchanted tales with belle that dd1 really wanted to do. I had hoped to go back for fireworks but no one was feeling it.

That evening we swam for a few hours and ate dinner at the poop bar. They were doing free marshmallow roasting so the girls enjoyed that before bed.
