Guests aren't required to wear sombreros, serapes and silver spurs at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, but
they certainly wouldn't be out of place.

This Walt Disney World resort features 1,967 moderate-price guest rooms encircling a 15-acre golden lagoon -- Lago Dorado. Based on explorations of what is now regions of Mexico and the American Southwest, the resort features a five-story Mayan pyramid, which is the resort's dominant icon. The pyramid is also the splashy centerpiece of a family fun pool, complete with waterslide.

Coronado Springs caters to families, with a festive food court, playground, volleyball court and all the amenities
that come with staying at a Walt Disney World resort.

Coronado Springs is also Disney's most value-priced convention resort, with a 95,000-square-foot convention center, including a full-service business center and a 60,000-square-foot ballroom.

Architecturally, the rambling resort gains inspiration from the grand haciendas and elegant mission cities of the Spanish Colonial era in Latin America. Its main themes come from regions of Mexico and the great American Southwest -- tile roofs and mosaic accents, arched windows and doorways, shady courtyards and patios.

The lobby, reception area and restaurants are themed to the rich tradition of life on the wealthiest haciendas
of the past or at today's finest guest ranchos of New Mexico or Arizona.

Connected to the lobby are the three- and four-story "Casitas," one of three major guest room areas. Architecturally, the Casitas represent urban centers like Santa Fe or Monterey.

Epitomizing arid rural regions of the Southwest are the "Ranchos" -- two- and three-story villas with sagebrush
and cactus landscaping along a narrow "arroyo" where a small stream of water tumbles quietly over rounded
river rocks.

On the northern shore of the Lago Dorado are the "Cabanas," inspired by beachside resorts along the Gulf Coast. Cabana buildings are two stories high with many of the rooms looking out across the lake to a watercraft marina.

Between the Ranchos and Cabanas is the 46-foot Mayan pyramid with water rushing down its ceremonial stone steps. On one side, a twisting waterslide provides extra fun for guests as its rushing water pushes them into the resort's feature pool. The area represents the imaginary discovery of a lost Mayan kingdom during a present-day archaeological dig.

There also are three "quiet" pools, one for each of the resort's guest areas. Encircling the lagoon and linking those areas, the Esplanade provides a broad walkway for leisurely strolls. La Marina offers boat and bike rentals.

Merchandise of all kinds can be found at Panchito's Gifts and Sundries -- a 6,000-square-foot shop decorated with colorful pi��s and sombreros and filled with Indian and Mestizo handicrafts and unique Disney character items.

The 420-seat Pepper Market features Mexican delicacies plus fresh baked goods, international coffees, pizzas, pastas, Chinese fare and a multi-purpose grill. Nearby is Francisco's, a 200-seat lounge offering specialty drinks
and snacks.

For fine dining, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort presents Maya Grill, operated by one of the premier
restaurateur-families of Mexico. It features a huge, wood-fired grill where guests can watch cocineros brazing
a vast array of meats and fish over the open fire. Soft-leather chairs and mission-style furnishings complete the themed decor. Decorative designs recall the elegant and geometrically-sophisticated stone carvings used by
Mayan artisans in their temples and palaces.

Other facilities include La Vida Health Club with a full range of fitness equipment, a hair-styling salon, two exciting game arcades, a poolside bar, kiddie pool, playground and sand volleyball court.

Guestroom amenities include coffee makers and in-room ironing equipment plus limited room service for breakfast and dinner. Also available on request are cribs, refrigerators, wheelchairs, hair dryers, etc. Non-smoking and accessible rooms are available.

Standard rooms will accommodate up to four guests with room rates beginning at $133, based on season. Suites are also available. The resort is located near Disney-MGM Studios and Blizzard Beach water park.

Pepper Market

At the Pepper Market, guests can assemble their own meal at nine food and drink stations. Patrons are escorted
to tables upon arrival in the 420-seat dining area and given a handy ticket that allows them to collect whatever they wish to eat or drink from each station where attendants stamp their receipt so payment can be made at the end of the meal. This provides fast and efficient service and a complete choice for each member of the family. Despite its fast-service system, the restaurant uses real china, stainless dinnerware and cloth napkins.
