Coronado Spring w/kids?

[DisFun]

I am planning a trip to DisneyWorld in late November.
I want to stay at a moderate resort.
2 years ago I stayed at the Caribbean Beach resort. I really liked it. It was great w/my children (ages 9 & 6)
I was thinking of staying at the Coronado Springs this time.
Is this a good place to stay with kids?
Please tell me your pros & cons?
Thanks!

Coronado Springs has a bigger pool better water slide. 2 arcade rooms Nice big playground for kids only thing that might be better at Caribbean Beach for kids is the food court think it might be set up better for kids.

I personally liked Coronado, the only cons are that kids might not like much in the food court, and some buildings require lots of walking to the food court and bus stops.

Coronado Springs is great for kids. They have "quiet" pools close to the buildings and a main pool with slide in the central area. It is a little walk but not too far. The pool is big and has snack bar area. My kids never had any trouble finding something to eat in the food court and enjoyed being able to walk up and order from the different "stations". There isn't any more walking than at the other moderates (Carribean Beach, Port Orleans) or the All Stars.

Thanks for all the good information.
I think I will go ahead and book the Coronado Springs hotel.
I can't wait!

Coronado

My kids loved the Coronado pool SO MUCH BETTER than the Caribbean pool. Great playground right by it too. There was also some activities going on there - had none at Caribbean.

At first the food court may seem intimidating but my kids loved all the selections and it was the feel of a nicer restaurant vs food court. Check out the food by the pool tool. We had awesome burgers and fries.

Next time I go I would request the section back by the pool. Would have made our downtime easier. Unless you are going for a full meal, no reason to go back to the main building.

Have a super time !

I have Coronado Springs pictures, video and information on my website (which I'm currently updating)

CSR is a great place for kids. There were lots of them at CSR in August. This is a convention hotel so don't be surprised if you see business people here and there. There is a kid's food station in the Pepper Market so I'm not sure why people say it isn't good for kids Lots of variety and plenty to choose from. Just as much as any other Disney food court. The Dig Site is awesome. Bus service is terrific!
