- Travel with me on a solo trip to Walt Disney World resort in Florida, as I fly in Premium Economy with Virgin Atlantic from the UK and check-in to Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.
I'm Adam Hattan, a family-friendly theme park and vacation vlogger from the United Kingdom who often vlogs the magic of Disney Parks. I love going to Walt Disney World, Disneyland and sailing with Disney Cruise Line! I hope you're ready to enjoy a whole new spooky halloween series.

In this Disney World Travel Day vlog, I cover my best tips for solo travel and making your way to Disney World. I start out by showing you how to enquire about miles/points upgrades into Upper Class (or otherwise) when you arrive at London Heathrow on the day, by visiting the Virgin Atlantic customer service desk. On this occasion, I was actually able to move onto the earlier flight. It's then over to the Hilton Garden Inn at Terminal 2 for an overnight stay at the airport. Whilst there, I fill you in on the cost, give you a room tour of a King room and check out the Runway Bar on the 14th floor.
Starting on actual Travel Day, I check in with Virgin Atlantic at Terminal 3 and pass through security into the departures lounge. There I pick up some snacks for the flight from WHSmith, and then visit the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse airport lounge. Whilst not included as part of a Premium Economy ticket, as I'm a Gold Virgin Atlantic Flying Club member (at time of filming), I get complimentary access to the lounge regardless of which cabin I'm flying in. This is a fantastic perk, and one of the many reasons I love collecting loyalty points and flying with Virgin Atlantic.
I flew on an A330-300 (Diamond Girl) that was in good standing in 24H (premium economy). Although, I did end up swapping with a family so they could sit together, so actually I was in 21H (I think). This row didn't have a window as a heads up. The inflight movie selection was good, although my headphone jack wasn't the best quality sound. The food was outstanding with the Chicken Lasagne being a stand out! This flight was taken in October 2023, so menu items and movies will change in the future. Overall, a really great flight with a lovlely cabin crew onboard.
Upon arriving into Orlando International (MCO), I take the replacement of Disney's Magical Express: Mears Connect: Driven by Sunshine, to Disney's Coronado Springs resort. The Mear Connect is cheap at only $16 per person each way, however it can take a VERY long time to get to your resort if you're the last stop. Depending on your budget, I might recommend other transport options instead.
Upon arriving at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and checking into the Gran Destino Tower, I go up to my King Room and I am gobsmacked by the qaulity, cleanliness and view of my room. I give you a full room tour of my King Room, showing you around the storage, bathroom and Epcot/Hollywood Studios view. An excellent first impression of an already lovely resort. Once settled, Jessie joins me for dinner at El Mercado de Coronado Food Court (the quick service) in the main building. We then take a look around the Panchito's merchandise store.
Coming up in this series, I'll be going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with the ever wonderful Jen Lefforge, Universal's Halloween Nights with Sam Mealy, Dale Evans and Jessie, as well as spending some time with my favourite Disney family: CheersEars. If you want to catch up on who my friends are, I recommend watching the following vlogs:
Sam, Dale & Jessie: • Universal Studios Orla...
Jen: • Disney Cruise Line Vlo...
CheersEars: • Longest Disney World V...

WHO wouldn’t know who Gary is??? He’s part of Adam and Gary❤
Just in case there's some newbies 😊✨
“Ah ha Gary C”
Hands up if you love Adam and Gary.......two amazing people who everyone would love to have as their friend, thanks for being the people you are and for giving us the best entainment on a Sunday ❤❤
Their chemistry is unmatched!
Adam…you are just the sweetest, most grateful person. I LOVE your genuine surprise of the gorgeous room you get to stay in. You are so humble and so appreciative. I just love that about you! Thank you for bringing us Disney when we are unable to go there ourselves. You make me smile.:)
Your vlogs are perfection. It feels like I’m there traveling with you!
Adam, I am watching this blog on our last night after a truly magical trip at Disney World. For two years myself and my husband saved every penny we could and watched every vlog you made (more than once!) and read your two latest Disney world books. THANK YOU for helping us plan and look forward to this holiday. It has been the absolute very best time for myself and my little family and we couldn’t have done it without all of your tips, tricks and reviews. So, thank you again to you (and wonderful Gary too). Lots of love xx
Adam and Gary are the only 2 UA-camrs I’d love to hangout with for a day. How fun would that be?!
Love the fact that you recall the name of each person providing a service to you.
"This is my job" LOL... You are the BEST!!
I have loved seeing you evolve as a traveler. A mix of travel savvy and unwavering compromise because the more you travel the more you realize your personal preferences. Great vlog as always!
It genuinely makes my Sundays so much better knowing I get to see your vlogs Adam. I appreciate you 💞
Awww, Adam! You had me crying right along with you during the room tour.I am so happy that you were so happy and excited 😊 And your shower sing a long and water gurgle was HYSTERICAL!!
Looking forward to the rest of the vlog.....even though we miss Gary !
Can’t wait for next weeks and we love Garry c xx ❤
We stayed at the Tower a few years ago. I kept thinking, wait until Adam sees the bathroom and shower. You did not disappoint! I had pretty much the same reaction. I need that shower at home!! Thank you for the new WDW series. It’s exactly what I and I’m sure everyone could really use in their life right now❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know who had more joy and excitement.. you for being there, or us for bringing us with you!
Your genuine delight over the room was so sweet! ❤
Adam, your room review made me cry along with you, your reaction was priceless wow wow wow is all I can say
Omg that room is incredible 🥰 and that view is spectacular! Tower of Terror is my fave, room of dreams!!!
when you said ‘it will be you soon, its gonna be travel day soon’ i got SO excited because it’s my travel day on friday!!🎉 couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, i’m so excited for the rest of the series!!🤩
I love watching someone who loves Disney as much as we do❤❤❤
It's Ilk 😊 and Adam, crying over a view out of the window, we love you!
I'm a certified city of Charleston SC tour guide and I always point out the public restrooms on my tours. I have a few favorites. So I appreciate the toilet tours. 🎉😂😂
✨️✨️Hoorah ⭐️ and Woooo !!⭐️it's just awesome to see you back Adam, you have now put a little bit of Magic ✨️back into our Autumn evenings....Welcome back 🥳
My favourite travel day!
Oh Adam, Love! I am so happy for you in this room. The joy and the happiness I can feel through the screen. SO SO Happy for you!!!!
We have stayed in the Gran Destino Tower for our last 2 family visits, and immediately fell in love with it....for us, it is like staying at a Deluxe, for Moderate pricing.....we would never stay in the older portion of Coronado Springs again (too much walking!!!), but we love the tower!
Adam you are our favorite Disney Vlogger!! Hope to run into you and Gary someday in the parks!
aw you made me cry too. the hotel is amazing
I love all your videos. I love you and Gary’s banter. Looking forward to your future vlogs!!!!
I always love how genuine Adam is…even after all this time and a zillion trips to WDW. Your reaction to your room and view: absolutely heartwarming! ❤
The wife and I stayed at Coronado springs when we got married in December last year (stayed there and got married at paradise cove) we loved it so much we are going again for our 1st anniversary this year. Coronado is stunning!! So glad you love it as much as we do ❤️
Oh I do love a travel day vlog! So great to have you back on a Sunday evening with your vlogs . Looking forward to seeing all your friends too 😀
Same! It’s my favorite part of the trip honestly!!
Imagine loving your job so much it makes you cry happy tears... thats Adams life and we get to see it. He is happy and so are we 😁❤️
Thank you, Adam, for your channel. You have no idea how much you got me through a rough period in my life. The joy you expressed when you saw the room, priceless 😊
Just love seeing a video post from Adam. Always makes me smile :)
Love the drama of this intro. I'm half expecting Ru Paul to ask us to moomoosharoo for our life
I almost cried with you during your room tour.
I was laughing at how excited you were about the Coronado. I live local and I stay there whenever I want to spend the night. It is my favorite place and I call it my home Resort. I think it's hands down the best hotel there. The restaurants are so good. I just feel like a queen when I stay there.😊
We stayed in the tower and will be again in March, it's our absolute favorite. Love all of Coronado, their plethora of food choices and the resort at night...chef's kiss.
Yay wonderful travel day, and bonus THAT room ?!? No-one more deserving. I so wish my hubby had half your excitement about the big D. 😘
When i come back in my 2nd life im definitely come back as an Adam hatton😊
you seeing the hotel room view is exactly why i love your vlogs so much-you’re so good at expressing joy and we can really feel it as viewers!
Just love the you have resorted to a trolley for your cases .
Adam Hattan vlog premiers are the BEST kind of Sundays! Great to see another new resort featuring in this series too.
Gary C is amazing he is so funny omg
I tear up every time you tear up and it’s killing me 🥹😭
I just love your videos, you capture the feeling of Disney. I love your emotions about your room, we also love Coronado, and our favourite place to eat is Rix. Enjoy your visit ❤
The shower concert killed me lol 😂😂 sending all the love❤
You look like a kid in a candy store entering that hotel room and I can not...this was ADORABLE OMG. ❤❤❤
Gran Destino Tower is a great resort. We stayed in club level, which is a great deal as its a moderate resort. We watched EPCOT fireworks from our bed 😊
Hotel rating for me is based on towels, pillows, bed comfort and arrival welcome!
Your excitement is just Devine ❤️
The Louie Spence reference had me in hysterics... Love how you were grinning whilst saying it 😂
This made me cry! You’re so humble and it’s great to see. And it’s our travel day so soon 😊
Adam, I love the emotion you showed in your room tour. You genuinely looked like you were going to cry from the view out your window. I literally felt it watching you ❤️❤️❤️
Loved this hotel we stayed in room 1303 when we last went to Disney.
you look so happy adam!! it’s so awesome to see you gain so much confidence vlogging on your own and just your joy and spirit shine through ❤️ you’re glowing
Love the Coronado Springs Cast Members! We stayed at Coronado Springs in 2019 and had a surprise upgrade from a standard room to a 2 bedroom suite! It was just the two of us too! It was so magical and amazing!
I would LOVE to see a traveling home vlog! I love watching the travel days but as someone whos never going to get to go there and back, id love to see the process of going back through the airport ect. Ive had such a rough year and your channel has been a source of escape for me so thank you
my jaw DROPPED when I saw the Epcot view!! You're right RIviera is lovely but she's got the view from the back it's nothing like that!
Your reaction to the room had me all teary eyed!! It was so heart warming! The tower has become a favorite place to stay.. we are bringing our girls with us for a “make up for 2020” trip and staying there for their first time❤ I’m super excited to see how the rest of your trip went!
Loveeeeee your videos...its like a disney break for me! Adore you and Gary!💞💞💞
I just love how excited and appreciative you are after going so many times. It's like your first time every time 😂
This summer we did Mears connect. After being delayed on our flight then the last bag off the carousel then the last stop on our bus we eventually got to our hotel at 3am and were not thrilled. Especially because a last minute addition to the bus was a family at animal kingdom lodge which was waaaay out of the way for everybody else. It was a time. So your comments about taking an Uber next time land haha
Absolutely loved your genuine reaction of the room. The rooms at the tower are amazing. Also, the “textured leather thing” is a textured leather luggage rack, love.
I just love your Disney Vlogs. I so look forward to each and every one. Your joy is very contagious. It makes me smile and wish I was there.
Thank you Adam.
And I look forward to the next series with Gary. I love watching when you two are together.
Hugs from Canada
This has made my week, can not wait for the opening Morningggggg
Just when I thought my night was complete with surprise Chinese for dinner, I now get to watch Adam while washing up. #dadlife
I loved Coronado Springs. It seems to be a hidden gem among the Disney Resorts
The hotel snack bar triggered me ahahahah all the food in the fridge is what we have as a flight attendant for our lunches ahahah
I absolutely adore your continued enthusiasm and joy 💕 it is contagious and a big reason I love following you. You always make me smile. Never lose it! Can’t wait to see Sam again and the fun adventures you had on this trip!
Cheers to a new series!
Ok room tour made me cry 😢😂❤ Adam you are the best and deserve all the amazing-ness 😃 can’t wait to watch this series. Big fan 😃 xxxx ps spotted Jen has a similar vlog and was hoping you were meeting up - love you both xxx
An adam hattan vlog always makes me smile and my worries melt away for a little while
Hello!!!! Love that you still get all the "feels" despite visiting HOME so often. Me too! Also, EPCOT is my favourite as well! (How can it not be?!) Thanks for the reminder of inquiring about complimentary upgrades! I travel in December and despite how crowded it's likely to be, I'll still inquire. Looking forward to this series of vlogs!
Aw Adam, Love your reaction. it's the way i feel everytime i go back to disney
Very much looking forward to this vlog series. You honestly crack me up and I'm so excited to watch every week 🎉 (also, your excitement about your room was the most heartwarming thing to watch 🥹)
Happy happy happy!!!!
Adam, your little shout/squeal “Disney World”! in the elevator is how I feel every time I go. I felt your excitement and thrill to be going again. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.
Gosh, I really love these videos, you’re one of my favorite Disney UA-camrs. I’m always excited when your video pops into my feed ❤❤❤ bless you and the happiness you bring to us. Many many beautiful blessings ❤ have a wonderful trip ❤
Yaaayy!!! Made my Sunday!!!
Lovely to see you back and getting emotional about your room xx
We ❤ the Tower! We’ve had the good pleasure of staying Club Level on a few occasions, most recently a few months ago. The CMs, accommodations, theming are on point and could easily stand up to some of our favorite deluxe resorts…magical ✨🎆
Adam and Disney is the best combo 🥺❤️
Amazing rooms! Always a fun time watching the Hattan Holidays!
You deserve all the happiness I know you had a great time
We stayed in Coronado springs for our honeymoon last year and we loved it too. Love your reaction to the room ❤
You are a joy to watch and you are the reason we booked a Disney cruise for our joint Disney world and Disney cruise honeymoon last year 😊
Glad you are back
The Qantas cameo made my heart full ❤🇦🇺
Loved the room tour, Adam you're a sweet sweet soul ❤
OHHHHHH....I laughed so hard when you said you could poo in peace!!! Your excitement is contagious! We were supposed to be at WDW at Christmas, but circumstances have changed. I will have to live vicariously through you, Cheers Ears, and Disney in Detail.
Adam, I am so jealous of you. I want to be anywhere fun right now. I love Disney World. It has been years since I have been there, and I would be totally lost. I was scheduled for a cruise to Bermuda in June, but ended up in the hospital instead, so no vacation at all this year. This trip for you is going to be so fun because you are getting to meet up with all your friends and I am anxiously awaiting all the videos. I iwll insert myself into them and pretend I am with you.
Adam shows the room and I think “oh yeah that’s a standard room”. Adam: it’s massive” 🤷🏻♀️🤣
I CAN POO IN PEACE, now takes the #1 spot for favorite quotes
😂💩
Found this , and i must say , i like your enthusiasm. :)
Eeeeeek now this is exciting!!! Always love travel days! ❤
I haven't watched travel day vlogs for a while, but after watching yours I'm even more excited for our disney holiday next year 😃🛩❤
Glad I’ve managed to catch up on this! Such a lovely start to the series ❤
Not sorry I have watched this three times already!!!! I love that the Halloween opening is back too ❤
Yes! Love Gran Destino
So glad you like the room. Gran Destino is such a hidden gem. It’s absolutely a deluxe for a moderate price. Love it there!
