We have a lot of exciting updates to cover, so let’s dive right in!

What’s New at Coronado Springs Resort

We started our day at Coronado Springs Resort, where we noticed its snazzy new entrance sign, sporting a cheerful turquoise color!

In Panchito’s Gifts and Sundries, we found a lot of new merchandise featuring the updated Coronado Springs color schemes and designs incorporating the Gran Destino Tower.

Next, we headed over to El Mercado de Coronado and noticed a slight menu change. The food court previously served personal sized pizza, but it is now served by the slice for $8.99.

What’s New at Coronado Springs’ Laguna Bar

Our next stop was Coronado Springs’ Laguna Bar!

The previously bright red menu has been replaced by a simple white menu, and it features plenty of tequila and Mezcal beverages!

You’ll find seven different margaritas on the rocks and three frozen options (mango, lime, and wild strawberry), which you can order combined as a Fiesta Margarita if you’d like. Given the bar’s newfound emphasis on tequila, you can try a flight of Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo tequilas for $20.

If tequila is not your favorite, either try the rum-based Cancun Colada ($11.50) or head to the Siestas Pool Bar at the Dig Site Pool for a menu featuring drinks made with a wide variety of spirits.

What’s New with the Gran Destino Tower

Construction continues (and is almost complete!) on the Gran Destino Tower which will open on July 9, 2019.  The outside walkway along Lago Dorado from the lobby to the right side of the resort is now closed off.

We saw multiple Cast Members using golf carts to take guests around the resort.

According to the Cast Member we spoke with, the Gran Destino Tower and main lobby area are primarily themed after Spain, but there will still be touches of Mexican and Western American theming as well. She also mentioned that from certain vantage points at the rooftop Dahlia Lounge, guests may able to see Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!

What’s New at the All-Star Resorts

Let’s continue our walk at the All-Star Resorts!

All-Star Resorts Merchandise

The new All-Star Resorts logo merchandise is available in all three resorts and was mixed in with the older designs when we were there. While the merchandise isn’t brand new, they are phasing out the older style and have more items with the new logo design.
