Disney's Coronado Springs Resort: A Disney Resort Hotel Review by Mary Augustine on 04-26-2012

Photo illustrating Coronado Springs Resort
We recently spent four days at a Walt Disney World resort, and didn't enter the theme parks.

Our Key Cards, receipts, and money were kept save and with us at all time. Even with the rain, it kept everything dry. A must!' -- SandiF from San Jose, CA

       TIP
Daily Disney Gifts
"Souvenirs are pricey at Disney resorts and parks, so we skip the shops by making purchases before we travel. Like Santa visits while we sleep, leaving gifts under our Christmas tree, Mickey visits our resort room to leave surprises for our kids every few nights. When the kids want to visit gift shops, we remind them that Mickey will probably visit and leave a surprise. Mickey's surprises range from a new autograph book or glow sticks for our evenings at the parks to Disney t-shirts, a Mickey plush, etc. Whatever the kids might be hoping for. It's like a little bit of Christmas every time we travel to Walt Disney World."
