Walt Disney World on Thursday unveiled expansion plans for its Coronado Springs and Caribbean Beach hotels.
Coronado Springs Resort will get a new 15-story tower with 500 rooms, featuring suites and concierge level services.
The new tower overlooking Lago Dorado, the resort’s centerpiece lake, will allow guests to experience rooftop dining with views of fireworks from Disney theme parks.
The hotel will also refurbish its rooms.
Disney said on its blog it also plans to transform Coronado Springs’ landscape. There will be “floating gardens and an island oasis that connects the resort through a series of bridges.”
Also there will be additions to the Caribbean Beach Resort, including new waterfront dining and retail shopping areas at the Centertown marketplace. Disney said in a blog post “this centralized location will offer the resort’s guests more convenient access to services, amenities and dining.”
The Southwestern-themed Coronado Springs opened 20 years ago, aiming to capture the convention market.
Caribbean Beach Resort has been around since the late 1980s.
Both are Disney “moderate” resorts. Both hotels currently average about $209 a night.
