You may see and hear some construction work in certain parts of the resort.

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

General Updates 

While we were driving to Coronado Springs, we noticed new digital road signs on Western Way.

These digital signs make it much easier for the company to change any travel information if needed, which can help assist the flow of traffic.

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

General Updates

We just wanted to send you all a reminder that some of the buses to and from this resort have USB ports underneath the seats!

It’s a great way to keep your phone plugged in on the way to the parks or give it a little extra juice on your way back.

Construction Updates

We also noticed that the Jamaica rooms are being worked on and refurbished!

It’s hard to see, but there is activity going on inside the rooms.

Disney’s Riviera Resort

We spotted a Seeing Double Peter Millar Polo for $110.

What better hat to wear into the parks, right?
