I most recently stayed at Coronado around this time last year, which was during the construction (though admittedly during some of the earliest phases of it). Except for when the buses around the resort campus drove directly past where they had started work on the tower, we didn't notice the construction at all. Truthfully, I don't know where the construction is at this point as I haven't been paying as much attention to what's going on at Coronado in general lately, but at no point did I feel like I was living in a construction zone. (I also stayed at Pop during that resort's room refresh period - same deal, never felt like I was surrounded by construction!)All this construction is making me nervous. I’m booked here for September but I’m thinking of switching I don’t want to be staring at construction in the middle of the lake...
Reviews on trip advisor are ripping this resort pretty badly. They are saying long lines, major issues with non-refurbished rooms, poor service, and it is understaffed. I was planning to book a preferred room for April but I'm starting to think it will be an overcrowded resort packed with people who don't want to stay at CBR and a tower that is under construction which dominates the view of the resort. I just want to have comfortable experience somewhere that is also beautiful and scenic.
When is the construction scheduled to be completed?

Considering a stay at CSR in October. I was a little surprised to find a big difference in package prices between a standard room and a preferred room - nearly $700 more for preferred over 7 nights. Does anyone find the preferred rooms to be worth it? We're typically fine with standard, but I recall from our last trip there (2013) that we would often use the Casitas bus stop after breakfast at Pepper Market, and we liked the bus stop because it was first on, first off. I assume that's still the same? Knowing that the preferred rooms are all refurbished is a bonus as well. Would you pay it?
We are arriving this Sunday and wondered what room/bld to request. We would like a refurbed room, but would take either. Would like to be near the main pool, but then your a bit away from the main dining room area. Any advice? Or, is it too late for request?

What are the pool hours? All I can find on the disney website is “pool hours vary by pool and lifeguard availability” and a google search is providing different results (some say 8-midnight and others say 10am-8pm). We are going mid-April if hours are seasonal and that makes a difference. Thanks for your help!
There are non-preferred rooms in Casitas, I think. Or at least I've never reserved a preferred room and I've been in Casitas multiple times.
