Travel articles Bed Bug on Human Finger Picture of a bed bug on a human finger. Who Wants a Pleistocene-Era Backyard?

Disney's Coronado Springs A moderately-priced resort near Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Coronado Springs Resort is inspired by the Southwest. Although it has the largest convention center on Disney property, this resort is also great for families with its beautiful grounds and water slide. The resort also boasts a large man-made lake around which the guest accomodations are situated. This can make for some long walks, depending on where you are staying, so be prepared. |
