Reedy Creek has filed permits that could be related to an expansion of the convention center at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
The application says there will be a new stormwater management pond and expansion of another pond to accommodate future additions within Coronado Springs. Disney is not giving further details at this time.
While some have speculated that this addition would instead be a Disney Vacation Club wing, we are still hearing that the Moderate Resort DVC wing coming soon is for Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. The reasoning behind expanding the already massive convention space at Coronado Springs would be to take the pressure off of the Disney’s Contemporary Resort facility which Disney is planning to eventually shutter. The ongoing Convention Center expansion at Disney’s Yacht and Beach club Resorts is also a part of this effort.
The Walt Disney World website notes that Coronado will be undergoing “a refurbishment” beginning Fall 2016.
