We were there this week, Mon/Tues.
Got to Coronado Springs around 330, our first time there. Had found a passholder deal on a room awhile ago. Went in to the tower, and were very impressed with it. Were looking around and a guy, apparently a mgr, came up to us and was chatting. I asked if we would be able to see the MK fireworks from our room (401). He said no, not on that side. The said he could check for a different room for us, and after kinda saying no, thats ok, we said ok sure. Awhile later he came back and had upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite!! We were shocked, to say the least. The room(s) were wonderful, living room, bedroom, bath and a 1/2. Fancy. We were able to see MK fw great, at 815. Afterwards we went up to the top floor lounge and watched the Epcot fireworks, and also the ones they have with the show at HS. So managed to see all 3 parks from the hotel!! Wonderful experience.
Tues my DH left early for golf. I ate at Rix at the hotel, which was fine. The hotel seemed pretty empty. I then took a bus to Epcot. We had Remy preview at 1-2. Got there about 10 and stood about 15 back in resort early entry line. About 1005 they started scanning us in, yay!! But then walked us (I went left towards Space 220) and then held us back by the walls til the 1/2 hour, 1030 exactly. There were pretty many in the area by then. Fast walked it over to the restaurant to beg for a ressie. Was in the line, about 12 back, actually it was the wait for lounge line. About 1045 1050 lady came out and I flagged her down and started my beg. She said she'd check, and a bit later brought me around to the podium and found me a 1230!!!
Texted my DH to hurry it up and he ran from the car to Space, we were there right at 1230, figuring to eat fast to get to our Remy. Suffice to say, so thrilled to get the ressie, enjoyed the experience and food (salmon and steak), the elevaotr was the best part... rushed the lunch but then hyper walked all the way to France, got there 130.
The Remy line said 30 minutes, it was a wound around outside at first, moved along fairly fast tho, so probably all told 20-25 minutes. Loved the ride, much more than MMRR, not really jerky. Each color car does a slightly different route. Got out of that and then wait was 15 minutes, no one outside at all. Just walked right back on. Did that twice more! Got lucky there.
Walked over and got a griddled cheese in Greece, the only thing I really wanted to try and FW, it was super delicious, could have had 5 more. Then walked to France and got ice cream, and by then we were done. Slow walked it to car.
Overall one of our best trips yet, lots of surprises and pixie dust. Monday night dinner El Mulino, could take it or leave it, probably won't return.
Sorry for the long post.
