Disney Lowers Rates at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
In a previous post I discussed how there wasn’t much difference in price between a Little Mermaid Standard Room at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and a Standard View room at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Art of Animation Resort is a Value Category hotel and Coronado Springs is in the Moderate Category .
I’d like to take this one step further now. I have come across examples where Coronado Springs actually costs less than Art of Animation!
Disney’s Coronado Springs rates are dropping. In this example, Coronado Springs costs less than Art of Animation (a Value Category resort).
This is truly amazing because Coronado was always considered the flagship Moderate resort with upgraded amenities like central air conditioning in each room (other Moderates have window units), a computer desk with ergonomic chair, upgraded soft goods, several dining and lounge options, and it’s the only Moderate to have a fitness center.
Among the Moderate resorts, Coronado had the highest average nightly rate so the fact that rates are, in some cases, less than a Value hotel is remarkable. This is a great opportunity to stay at this resort and save money.
One reason could be that Coronado Springs is not on Disney Skyliner. Skyliner hotels are Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, and Pop Century. Disney’s Riviera Resort is too, that’s in a different price category altogether.
So now is a great time to take advantage Coronado’s low rates. Is it better than Art of Animation? Well yeah! It’s one category up and has a lot more to offer like a brand new lobby experience (which is beautiful by the way), a water slide at the feature pool, a fitness center, and better bus service

Of course Art of Animation is a terrific resort as well, but when it costs more than a Moderate hotel, I don’t think it’s a good deal because you’re paying more, but getting less.
