The Dig Site is the main pool area at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and is themed to represent the important find of a Mayan kingdom during an archaeological dig. Here you will find a sand volleyball court, an arcade, a poolside bar, an enormous hot tub, a playground (fashioned after an archaeological dig site) and of course, a large pool! A 50-foot Mayan pyramid is the centerpiece of this 120' by 90' pool. Water trickles down the faux aged looking ceremonial stone steps of the Pyramid of the Sun. Twisting out from behind the pyramid, is a 123-foot long, 16.2 foot-high water slide with a jaguar perched over the slide to spit water at guests as they go down the slide.
There is also a children's pool here. Pool towels are available at the Dig Site. There are 3 quiet pools, one at each of the village areas, but guests must bring their room towels here as pool towels are not offered. Lifeguards are found at the main pool, but not at the quiet pools. Pool hours are from 8 a.m. to midnight for the Dig Site and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the quiet pools.

There is a lot to do at Disney's Coronado Springs besides swim. For the "vid kids" in your family, there are two arcades, the Jumping Beans Arcade in El Centro beside Panchitos, and the Iguana Arcade at the Dig Site main pool area. Cyclists may enjoy the variety of bicycles available to rent, standard, tandem and Surrey bikes to tour the .9 mile long Esplanade encircles Lago Dorado. A marina with kayak, pedal boat and electric boat rentals are offered for those who prefer a more nautical adventure. For fun and fitness, guests can also take a nature walk, play volleyball, and use the jogging trails (maps are provided at La Marina or Guest Services) or fitness center, La Vida Health Club, (state-of-the-art equipment, Cybex exercise machines and aerobic machines with whirlpool, sauna and massage).

Behind the Dig Site main pool, children will enjoy the Explorer's Playground, the place for budding archaeologists to dig and play.
