DH and I ate here on a recent trip. He had the smoked turkey sandwich, I had the pulled pork.
The cast member helping us actually gave us the recommendation to split an order of onion rings as they were quite large instead of the two orders I had placed which saved us some money.
Pork sandwich was good, a little dry but they have BBQ sauce available which made it quite good. DH's sandwich was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

We just returned from a five night stay (6/6 - 6/11/13)at Coronado Springs. I was actually a little disappointed with this resort as I had high hopes based on recommendations from friends and internet reviews.
We had no problems with the check in process and received the room we requested, a king bed on the fourth floor in casitas. While the room itself was nice and spacious, there were several problems with it. The bed made an incredibly loud noise every time you turned over (which lead to several bad nights of sleep), our ceiling fan would not turn on, and the door handle to the bathroom was broken. In their defense, we did not report these as issues as we did not feel like packing up everything and moving our stuff for what seemed like minor things.
Being in casitas we were located close to the bus stop and only a short walk to the main building, so as I anticipated I didn't mind the size of the resort, however we did not get to see all of it, including the main pool, because the long walk over there just wasn't worth it after a long day walking around.
My husband absolutely loved the fact that there was a small gym located close to our room, something we have not had in any other resort we have stayed in.
Overall I do not think that I would stay here again, though it would not be out of the question.

We (5 adults and a 1-year old) stayed in Villa 7057 June 2 through June 8. This was our first stay at THV (We rented points for this trip, but typically stay at AKL, YC, or POFQ). The villas are very unique and quite large (we fit with no problem). The deck provided a serene setting (when not dodging rain from T.S. Andrea) to gather for some adult beverages after our 1-year old went to bed.
We had a great stay celebrating my son's first birthday, and I would not hesitate to recommend the THV for a large group. I do have a few minor complaints (Small beds, lack of Disney theming, and poor lighting) and a much more signigicant complaint. I felt very isolated staying at THV. We had a car, which made things much easier, but we had to drive to do just about everything. My wife and son go to bed fairly early (before 10 PM), and I stay up later. I like to go out exploring (walk around the resort, grab an adult beverage at the bar, etc.) after they go to bed and that was very difficult to do at THV because it is so isolated. So, I do not know if we would choose to stay there again unless we have a big group.

We dined here on 6/8/2013 for breakfast. We absolutely enjoyed it. Best character meal this trip. We loved dining with these characters because they aren't usually characters you see out and about, such as alice or the mad hatter. Our waiter was fabulous! He was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of! The food was also great. My favorite was the oatmeal.

Our waiter was wonderful. He was prompt with drink refills and even had a wand for our infant. He was nice enough to make sure he could have the wand before he gave it to him. The food quality was okay. My beef came burnt on the outside and the portions were very small for the cost of $60 a plate for this meal. The au gratin potatoes were very good. The princesses were wonderful. They engaged my girls in conversation. It made me happy to see them so excited and speech less like they were in the presence of a celebrity!

The food was standard here. Couldn't find anything that I really wanted so I ended up going with the burger. Seating was outdoors because we had such a large party. With all the quick service dining organization that is occuring in all the other quick service dining places, you would think they would do the same here.

We really enjoy the pizza here. Only downfall was no dressing for the salad! Couldn't find it anywhere. This is a much more enjoyable place to come at dinner time. Not as many people here at dinner than there are during lunch. Only downfall was the games. My kids wanted to play games over eating!

This character meal has improved drastically since we have last eaten here. The characters were fun and attentive. Our waiter was the nicest and most attentive that we had our entire trip. He really went above and beyond. The corn bread pudding is to die for. I have to find a recipe for it. I went for seconds and thirds!

Another signature Disney character meal that is starting to go downhill. We had 2 characters completely skip over our table. We had to flag down our server to get them to come back and even then it took forever. The food was not appetizing. My husband refused to eat the meat after he saw that it wasn't completely cooked through. Our service was horrendous. We saw our waitress 2-3 times tops to get drink refills. I should have disputed paying the automatic gratuity for 6 or more people. Disney needs to fix this place fast!

The pizza here has changed, but it was very good. Although it no longer comes with the salad. I was a little disappointed in this. I was happy that there are people not allowing you to sit unless you have a tray of food. This helps large parties like us have a place to sit so we don't have to stand and eat.
