Coronado Springs Resort

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort offers a rare combination: a large scale, dedicated convention hotel portfolio seamlessly integrated within the Walt Disney World resort. This property is specifically designed to accommodate major conferences, trade shows, and large group gatherings, all set against a sophisticated backdrop celebrating Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American cultures. With a massive inventory of 2,385 guest rooms, planners have immense flexibility for securing large room blocks.

The accommodations are divided into distinct architectural areas, allowing for easy group segmentation. The centerpiece is the Gran Destino Tower, a modern, 15 story high rise featuring 545 guest rooms, including 50 suites and a club level lounge. This tower provides a luxury, centralized experience perfect for VIPs, keynote speakers, or attendees seeking elevated amenities and panoramic views. The original resort sections, the Casitas, Ranchos, and Cabanas, are arranged in village like clusters around the shimmering 22 acre Lago Dorado, offering a more tranquil, sprawling campus feel.

For event planners, the resort’s primary asset is its over 220,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. The attached convention center is a logistical powerhouse, anchored by an 86,000 square foot exhibit hall ideal for trade shows and large scale vendor displays. The resort boasts two colossal ballrooms: the Coronado Ballroom at 60,214 square feet and the Veracruz Ballroom at 21,114 square feet. These are supported by an extensive network of 45 breakout rooms, allowing for complex, multi track conference schedules. A dedicated business center and Disney’s world class event services team are on hand to manage everything from audiovisual needs to creative event production.

Beyond the traditional convention spaces, the resort excels at providing unique venues for weddings and special events. Planners can host an elegant outdoor reception on Destino Plaza or La Fábrica Courtyard, both offering beautiful architectural and lakeside settings. For a truly spectacular evening event, the Toledo restaurant, located on the roof of Gran Destino Tower, provides tapas, cocktails, and breathtaking views of the theme park fireworks. A more casual, yet unforgettable, welcome reception can be held at Three Bridges Bar & Grill, a restaurant set in the middle of the lake and accessible by scenic walkways.

Guest amenities are designed to support both business and relaxation. The main pool complex, The Dig Site, features a 50 foot Mayan pyramid with a waterslide and is home to the largest hot tub at Walt Disney World. Three other leisure pools are distributed throughout the village sections. Attendees can utilize the La Vida Health Club and salon, enjoy jogging trails around the lake, or unwind with evening campfires. The resort is self contained with an internal bus shuttle, but also provides complimentary transportation to all Disney theme parks and the Disney Springs entertainment district.
