Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Room Tour

Posted on July 30, 2021 by Coronado Springs Disney Disney Resort DisneyWorld Gran Destino Tower Room Tour

In today’s vlog, we give a brief room tour of our room in the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort! We had a standard view, king bed room, on the 8th floor of the tower. The tower is absolutely beautiful, as are the rooms. The room itself has all of the modern conveniences you would expect from a newly refurbished Disney Resort. Being one of the newer places to stay on property (opening in 2019), it definitely still has that “brand new” feel. If you’re looking to stay somewhere that feels high end, without the high price tag, this is the place for you! Coronado Springs has always been one of our favorite resorts and we can’t wait to stay here again. We hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

*Disclaimer: Disney masking mandates are constantly changing. In this video, we were allowed to take our masks off outside, but were required to wear them indoors,  in line and on attractions. Stefan and I are both fully vaccinated and felt comfortable removing our masks outdoors when the crowds were light and we were able to physically distance ourselves from other groups. We were also, obviously, allowed to take our masks off once inside our room, which is why you do not see us masked in this video.

The Wave of… American Flavors Dining Review

Posted on July 21, 2021 by Contemporary Resort Disney Disney Resort DisneyWorld The Wave of American Flavors

In today’s vlog, we review Stefan’s special birthday lunch at The Wave… of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. We start off with some drinks, including a regular Moscow Mule and a Chocolate Martini. We, of course, ordered two of the famous Bacon and Eggs appetizers. Then, Jenn had the Tofu Tikka Masala and Stefan enjoyed the Chicken Sandwich. For dessert, we had a birthday cupcake, compliments of the Cast Members! It was the perfect way to celebrate Stefan’s birthday, and a nice afternoon escape from the heat of the Magic Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Wave is currently closed for a refurbishment, but will reopen September 10th in time for the 50th Anniversary. Don’t sleep on this amazing restaurant! It is a must try. We hope you enjoyed this video, and we hope you’ll join us for our next video where we spend the day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

It’s A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow at Magic Kingdom!

Posted on July 16, 2021 by Big Thunder Mountain Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin Carousel of Progress Disney Fantasyland Frontierland Liberty Square Magic Kingdom Peoplemover Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Sleepy Hollow Space Mountain Tomorrowland Tomorrowland Speedway Tron Construction

In today’s vlog, we spend the afternoon of our Magic Kingdom Day exploring all of the attractions in Tomorrowland! But we can’t start the afternoon off right without a Starbucks and a bunch of Cavalcades coming down Main Street. Afterwards, we head over to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin to try our best to become Galactic Heroes. Then, we finally board the Peoplemover for the first time in forever (seriously!). After a quick trip to space on Space Mountain, we visit our favorite family as they travel through the 20th Century on Carousel of Progress. Finally, we take a leisurely evening drive on the Tomorrowland Speedway to check out MORE Tron construction. With Tomorrowland conquered, and a brief change in plans, we decide to get dinner at Sleepy Hollow with a Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich and a Corndog! As the sun sets, we take a trip on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We end the night with a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. all lit up for the night. It was the perfect end to a perfect day! We hope you enjoyed this video, and we hope you’ll join us for our next video where we review our newest favorite restaurant The Wave of American Flavors! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Disney DisneyWorld EPCOT Health & Safety Travel

In today’s vlog we travel back to Walt Disney World to celebrate Stefan’s 30th Birthday in style! We are up early to catch our flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Orlando International Airport. Our trip through security is very quick and easy, as is our flight! Then it’s off to baggage claim to collect our bags and board the Magical Express. The line for the bus is long, but we make the most of it, and spy some additional security measures that have been put in place since our last visit. Soon we are on our way to our Resort for this trip, The Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs Resort. After a quick outfit change and luggage drop off, we are on our way to the first park of this trip: Epcot! We hope you enjoyed following us along on our travel adventure, and we look forward to bringing you along with us to Epcot in our next video. Thanks so much for watching and as always, keep on wishing!

We were allowed to take our masks off outside, but were required to wear them in line and on attractions. Stefan and I are both fully vaccinated and felt comfortable removing our masks when the crowds were light and we were able to physically distance ourselves from other groups. Masks were still required on our flight and inside both airports.

This week’s episode is chock-full of Disney fun! In Mice Chat, we cover four things we experienced in on-screen Disney magic, and give a small update to our travel plans. From there, we jump on in to the news, where a familiar face makes its reappearance, and we read through the proposed government timeline of the country-wide phased reopening. In our discussion we turn to something near and dear to our hearts; MUSIC! Specifically the music that you hear when inside or riding upon one of the many wonderful attractions at the Disney Parks.
