I'm squeezing in one more Disney weekend before Food and Wine is over, Nov 10-12. I'm staying at Coronado Springs for the first time, and was hoping someone could provide some current information so I can make a decision on which building(s) I should request. I read through the posts at the beginning of the thread, which were last updated in August. At that time, Ranchos 7A and Cabanas 8A had been renovated. Casitas 1 and 3 were under construction. Cabanas 9B had been demolished. I was hoping someone could provide the current status of construction. What buildings are open? What buildings are closed? What buildings have completed renovations and which are still waiting to be renovated? What non-room buildings or areas are under construction? Are any paths/walkways/bridges affected by the construction? I would like to be somewhat near El Centro and the Dig Site, so if a bridge like, say, the one between El Centro and the old Cabanas 9B is closed, that would obviously affect my choices. Is noise an issue anywhere? My Disney MO is be at a park before it opens and be at the park open latest until it closes, so an afternoon nap is required (especially the Saturday I'm there, since MK is open until 2am!).
On a related note, I saw that Casitas 1, 2, and 3 have preferred rooms. Are all the rooms in those buildings preferred or are all preferred rooms in the resort in those buildings (i.e. are there non-preferred rooms in those buildings)?
Thanks for the info!
