On a Monday, I’d rather be sitting on the “beach” at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

☀️ The Spanish colonial-inspired architecture of the resort looms gracefully behind you, its warm, earthy tones blending seamlessly with the lush greenery.

☀️Nearby, the distinctive Gran Destino Tower stands tall, adding a unique, elegant silhouette to the skyline. The faint sounds of Latin music float through the air, mingling with laughter and the occasional splash from the pool area, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere.

☀️It’s a calm respite from the high-energy pace of Disney, where you can sink into a lounge chair, toes in the sand, and just watch the reflections of the surrounding lights shimmer on the lake as evening settles in.

A few of my favourite resort lobbies are:
