Celebrate The Magic - June 12, 2010 - Scouting Out The Pool Options at Coronado Springs Resort

The kids and I got back to CSR and decided to hit the pool right away.

Being at Casitas 3, we were probably an 8-10 minute walk to the main theme pool - The Dig Site.

I didn't take my camera with me, but there are tons of pictures out there at disneyworld.com. 

There's not a lot of shade at CSR.  We had to walk the perimeter path around Lago Dorado to get to The Dig Site.  If it wasn't 95 degrees and super humid, it probably would have been a nice walk. As it was, we were steaming by the time we got there.

The Dig Site is a nice sized pool with a decent water slide. CSR has a nice pool bar with snacks and beverages and the arcade is in a building at the Dig Site.  Children have a splash area and a playground to explore.  If it was a little less hot, I imagine that the on-site volleyball court would have been in use.

My one complaint:  The water was too warm.  So warm that it made me a little queasy. When you are hot, you'd like a "cool" pool to cool you off.  I think it just gets so hot so fast and that Disney doesn't have cold water flowing into this pool.  It bothered me the most;  my kids are fish and will play in any body of water.  But they both felt it was too warm as well.  I suggested we go back to our quiet pool and see if it was any cooler.

We trudged through the heat and humidity to get back to the Casitas pool.  We all pretty much agreed that we would not be going to The Dig Site again as long as it was this hot.

The Casitas pool was a bit cooler, but not very refreshing.  Bryan caught up with us after having gone to The Dig Site first to find us.  He got in for a bit and then we both decided air conditioning would be more comfortable.  I gave the kids another 20 minutes and told them to head up to the room after that.

That's one thing about having teenagers...I don't have to watch them in the pool and can trust them to get up to the room on time.  Plus, they are both good about taking care of the other.\

I can't tell you how good it felt to take a shower and just sit in the A/C and watch some TV.  I'm so glad we had a fridge with lots of cold water and Gatorade.  We needed it this trip.
