The Splendor and Serene Of Pristine Pools And Lago Dorado

 The first thing that captured my heart during my very first stay at Disney’s Coronado Springs, and one of the things that keeps me coming back is the centerpiece of the resort Lago Dorado.

There is just something magical about waking up in the morning and going out for a leisurely stroll or taking a mid-afternoon break in one of the hammocks that are along the lake, reminding yourself of all that nature has to offer.

If it’s the pool life you seek, Disney’s Coronado Springs has one of the most unique pools to be found on any of the Walt Disney World Resort properties, and families can spend countless hours enjoying the fun at one of the 4 pools that can be found at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

The centerpiece of it all is the  Dig Site Pool,  home to the largest outdoor hot tub at Walt Disney World Resort—with room for 22 people! This signature pool takes on the form of a 5-story Mayan temple waterslide, complete with its own archeological dig site. Here at the 50-foot replica of a Mayan pyramid, you can sit back and watch the water stream down the steps of the massive stone structure into the Lost City of Cibola pool or plunge headlong into it on the spitting Jaguar Slide.  Add in the New Balance Running Trail and there’s something for everyone to be found here.
