Indulge in Deluxe-Level Dining & Lounges

One of the main attractions at Coronado Springs is the incredible dining and lounge options that are more often found at Disney’s deluxe resorts. Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood offers a fine-dining experience with stunning rooftop views, while Three Bridges Bar and Grill serves up delicious dishes in an open-air setting over the water. But the real gem? Dahlia Lounge, where you can sip on craft cocktails while enjoying breathtaking views of four Disney parks—Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Typhoon Lagoon, and Animal Kingdom.


Tip: Be sure to reserve your dining at Toledo or grab a drink at Dahlia Lounge to experience these views for yourself! Want more insider tips for dining at Disney? Contact me today for free concierge-level planning!

If you're seeking a more luxurious stay, the Gran Destino Tower features beautifully outfitted rooms, where even a standard view is anything but ordinary. From the comfort of your room, you can enjoy views of Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Whether you’re enjoying the water slide or relaxing poolside, this is the perfect spot for a day off from the parks. For little ones, there’s a splash pad, and for adults, plenty of lounge chairs to kick back and soak up the sun. Plus, with heated pools, it’s a fantastic year-round option.
