Hope we can get more rooms and remodels with walk in showers, instead of tubs. Looks good.

If you try to reserve in the Ranchos section then you have a better chance of getting a room. Although only 7a has been completed to my knowledge.

Great video! The rooms looks great I really like the art work of the Three Caballeros!

Yikes! Is that what they're all going to look like, or has the décor been toned down for "business" guests? On the one hand, I love the redesigned furniture and sink area, which make more efficient use of the space and increase the room's flexibility for families, in addition to being attractive.
On the other hand, this room looks incredibly stale, bland, boring and colorless (dominated by large expanses of brown, white or gray) -- so much so that I think the refurb would make me less likely to stay at CS rather than more likely. The Three Caballeros art is terrific, but it doesn't do enough to make the room look like it belongs in Coronado Springs rather than in a hospital. The American Southwest is full of colorful tile, colorful fabric, colorful art and colorful buildings -- why couldn't the designers have kept some of that (albeit in a tasteful way)? I thought that the previous iteration of the rooms (which was, itself, a GIANT improvement over the 80's-style bedding and dark woods that dominated the décor when I stayed there in 2005) struck a nice balance of color, texture and grown-up modernity. This new décor only captures the latter, and is sterile almost to the point of looking like it belongs at the Contemporary (or in the storage warehouse of your local IKEA) instead of Coronado Springs. You could find a hotel room just like this (sans the pictures on the wall) ANYWHERE.
Naturally, this is just my subjective opinion, and I'm sure that many will love it. I just find it jarringly bland (how's that for an oxymoron)?

The video is missing the bed runner for some color but other than that, this is the new room. Disney is moving in this direction for most resort renovations
