Waking up in my Standard King Tower Room at the Gran Destino Tower in Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, I show you in its most basic form, how to get your spot in the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, how to buy Disney Genie+ with the new park specific pricing and how to get a great first ride time for your day.
It's then off to Epcot via the Disney Transport Service and the buses. With this, I explain the pitfall of Coronado Spring's size, and how best to navigate taking the bus, to make sure you get on and how to get a seat. Upon arriving at Epcot, I show the process of using the Early Entry resort guest perk, to get priority access to select attractions upto 30 minutes before park opening. I use this time to try out the new Moana: Journey of Water walkthrough attraction, and give you my review.
Whilst in Epcot, I dine at the new Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya table service restaurant with Brooke (@BBBrooke) and Tommy. I also ride Frozen Ever After, Grand Fiesta Tour, Spaceship Earth, Soarin' (over California) and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I also show some of the new arrivals in the Connections Merchandise store.
After Epcot, it's off to Disney Springs with Jessie, where we browse UniQlo, Basin, World of Disney, The Marketplace and Days of Christmas Store. From there, we take an Uber over to the Orlando Premium Outlets at Vineland Avenue. Here we check out Disney's Character Warehouse and show you some of the discounted Disney Parks merchandise. We then enjoy dinner at Cheesecake Factory and pick up some bits and bobs from Publix Supermarket.
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...

I met Adam this day at Epcot and he was an absolute GEM!! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me! It was surreal to see you in real life!
❤
Love 💜 Glad you had a good time!
Fun fact: the songs playing as you exit guardians are ones they tested out and rejected for use on the ride. Another amazing vlog-thanks for bringing us along Adam!
Not me being 23 minutes in and having had to pause twice to have a cry 😭 This is just so pure ❤🥰
As a woman of a certain age, all that running water I would def need those restrooms! It is an amazing experience ❤️😍
I love Adam saying he needs his caffeine fix and then getting a crème Frappuccino 😅😅
I thought the same thing! Typically not much caffeine in those
You managed to sum up the magic of Disney and exactly why we all love it so much, but others who haven't experienced it just don't understand..this was a beautiful vlog thank you
We stayed in Animal Kingdom lodge last year for a week on honeymoon no daily house keeping and the price to stay there was eye watering. Then we moved to universal hotel on IDrive and had daily housekeeping. I agree disney need to up their game pandemic excuse is no longer acceptable and I likely won’t be booking on-site again until they bring it back! Love the vlog as always Adam 🤩 going DLP on Saturday and this is getting me in the disney mood 🥳
I just love the pace of Adam’s vlogs. Such a great, leisurely day in the best place on Earth!
The ‘copycat’ Disney store at the end had such nostalgia vibes for me. When I went to Florida in late 90s/early 00’s - it was they Disney stores on International Drive that we shopped in and I loved! As a child I didn’t know any different and it obviously saved my parents a fortune!
Love Judi Dench’s voice on the ride x
Your reaction to turning the lamp on had our entire family in stitches! It gave “when you check the price tag” vibes 😂
Now that we are in our 60's, we now look for the couples who are older than us and say yes we can still be enjoying Disney in our 70's and 80's. We will always have a place to stay (DVC) and our AP.
Also I love Jessies Daisy ears and that she contined to wear them at the outlet store!! I have them also!!
Looking forward to your next week vlog Adam!!!
Yes, any age! My husband and I are 70 and 68 and we went to Disneyland last year! My knee slowed us down a bit, but it was such fun! We celebrated our 40th anniversary with buttons and cast members congratulated us!
I agree with you about Coronado Springs or any other resort in Disney not having housekeeping everyday especially if you have paid cash for your room. We are DVC also but we stay at the Hilton Disney Springs and Swan & Dolphin where they will give you the option.
Sooo ridiculously excited! Wanted to see how the Moana bit is! Thank you for being my happy place in your videos Adam, you and Gary help with the anxieties xx
Thanks for video Adam. My husband of 35 years and I spent time on numerous benches in Epcot sharing various food festival dishes in September. Feeling blessed - don’t rush, you will get there too ❤
Sundays are so much better with an Adam vlog. Getting me so excited for May next year when we finally get back to Disney and so thanks for all the great tips too Adam .♥
We’re going may 2025 ! 🥰
I love the fact you pointed out the wheelchair accessibility on the Fiesta Tour. I feel people may not ask, hence may not ride.
Moana: Journey of Water is what Walt wanted... Edu-tainment!!
29:51 A tip going forward regarding your caffeine fix; a Crème Frappuccino means there is no caffeine in it. Ask for a mocha Frappuccino with chocolate chips next time 😉
"I feel like I've walked into a nightmare"... lol 🤣
I like the orange grove smell too. Reminds me of the 60’s, walking through the orange groves to get to school. And we only lived 45 minutes from Disneyland!
I would LOVE to see Adam visit the Moana water park with Gary C. ❤😮😊
I saw Journey of Water for the first time 4 days ago. We did it 3 times and it was so different after dark. I cried walking through it the first time, too. 😊
Your videos helped my family out so much with Disney and Genie+. So glad I have watched your videos for years! Thank You for sharing the Magic❤
Adam, this vlog was really good. Loved seeing your reaction to Journey of Water. It looked like a beautiful atmosphere. Your happiness throughout this vlog for sure spreaded! Thanks for the amazing tips and tricks throughout the vlog. Always look forward to Sunday magic!
Thanks so much Max! From a vlog connoisseur such as yourself, that means a lot! Thanks for watching ✨
“I feel like I’ve walked into a nightmare.” LOL I felt the same way Adam in that “Disney Gifts” shop lol 😂
Adam having his “I spy a family” moment in this one 😭
(From When Harry Met Sally…you know what I mean??)
I just love watching your vlogs, Adam! You are so emotional and upbeat. I feel like we can all imagine we’re there with you.
GAh this vlog made me so happy and so emotional. just seeing you so excited and just the pure joy of people having a great experience. thankyou for sharing with us
Aww Adam, you're such a big love bear! I love your emotions and excitement you share of Disney! It's been 5 years since my last trip. Thank you for sharing your day! ❤🐥
Re: the housekeeping, I agree Adam. I stayed at Riviera this same week and for 6 nights we only had trash taken out every other day, and new towels on the 3rd day. Beds never made or changed for 6 nights.....and this was our DVC home resort.....Disney what you up to?
Re: The 50th celebration things sticking around longer than originally announced-
This reminds me of how The Year of a Million Dreams lasted…quite a few years? Does anyone else remember that?
And I agree with you that it’s nice to see Disney World in standard mode. I feel like I forgot what Epcot looks like when there isn’t a festival either going on or starting imminently😂
I stayed at rosen inn lake Buena Vista last year and we had house keeping everyday
Love seeing an Adam Hattan video….makes my Sunday. I just recently stayed in Hawaii, Australia and Fiji and had daily room makeup at every hotel! Disney needs to step it up!
Publix sugar cookies are the best. Especially when you find the ones that make a sandwich with icing in the middle. The ultimate treat your self!!
I understand your view on the 50th bits sticking around, but the statues are great fun to seek out and would be a waste left in storage. As usual, loving your pure enjoyment.
Sundays are always the best when Adam uploads❤️🥺
I love that your lunch dates are Bibbidi Bobbidi Brooke and Tommy! Her merch is absolutely fabulous as your vlogs are. Great pairing! ❤
my only comment about daily house keeping is - waste, and client change - such a big environmental cost
I find the vlogs with just you really feel special. You connect so sincerely.Don't ever grow up please.
Favorite line “ you’re on your own mate, blooming’ heck” 🤣
Adam is as emotional in this vlog as I am every trip 😢😢😢
Wow Adam you did so many great rides…Rides the other bloggers never show…
I love your Disney/ Disney cruise videos especially when your with Jen..
Your so emotional and wear your heart on your sleeve…..You keep it real and have so much fun weather your solo or with others….👍🇬🇧
Thank you Adam for pointing out the wheelchair accessible boat in Mexico. I’m always interested in the accessibility of rides because unfortunately I don’t have a knee anymore on my left leg. I had to have the knee fused so it stays straight and now I worry if I go to Disney I won’t be able to ride very many rides. I can walk and I don’t need a wheelchair but I might seriously consider renting one because it might make it easier to ride some thing like the boat ride in Mexico.
You being just so happy to be there is making me even more excited for my trip in February!!!!
We stayed at port Orleans French quarter beginning of October, housekeeping was every other day as well, but cabana bay at universal last December was every day 😮
These vlogs are such a highlight to my Sundays, thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
You had my dream day!! Leaving today to head to airport so I decided to watch your trip to get inspired and now I am so excited!
Adam your gratitude and energy is amazing I’ve been Florida loads but never been Epcot so going in April and I can’t wait now after watching 😊
I went years ago and remember seeing manatees there x unfortunately didn’t get to see much as there was a massive hail storm and thunder storm so it had to shut x hope you enjoy your trip x
I think that music on GotG is the best!
Awesome vlog and thanks for all the info - you’re absolutely right about the house keeping every other day was a bit sad but they did show up everyday at Beach Club 😊
Adam, you have such a big heart and it is so beautiful. I love it when you get emotional. Thank you for sharing that part of yourself with us.
I love you so much, Adam Hatten.
Oh Adam, what a joy to see you so happy. You are amazing.
Looking forward to hearing about the Cruise Dream Guide!!! We are planning our first Disney Cruise for the summer of 2025 so hoping to grab an updated version! Cheers Adam!
21:01 Single Day Riders was the best move for me
My favorite game to play is “watch adam shop in the Disney shops and drop my jaw every time he says the price of something” 🤣🤣
Loved the vlog! I stopped in Coronado Springs for 2 weeks last May and they only cleaned and replenished our room once! We did ask for more and they stated that is their policy. Thank you for posted such great videos ♥
Love seeing out and about away from Disney 😊
Love the happy vibes of this vlog!! 🎉
Your videos are always so positive and informative thank you for sharing your trip with us 😊
The brownie slices with creamed cheese spread on top divine
Your vlog with the sunrise is amazing to see - jet lag is not fun but Disney magic at Epcot helps x
Always enjoy your videos Adam. Keep me going till our next WDW visit. Xx
Hi Adam. I just wanted to say thank you for making your vlogs. I remember thinking I would never be able to go to WDW but luckily I went for my honeymoon in 2022, it was the best experience I have ever had and thanx to you I can relive that so thank you :)
Keep doing what your doing because you are an amazing person x
The best guide book. I have given a few out as gifts.
Yup when Disney announced housekeeping returning, only deluxe get daily housekeeping. Moderate & Value Resorts get it every other day.
It was a staffing issue first but now it's just a cost cutting measure. 🤦🏾♀️
Always love your videos. You have the same love for Disney parks as me! As a side note, Coronado Springs is only a moderate hotel which is why the housekeeping is only every day. The deluxe have the daily housekeeping. Value and moderate are every other day. Grand Destino Tower might feel like a deluxe hotel because of the interior entrances but you are paying way less than an actual deluxe.
Adam before the bread--- Snackable
Adam with the bread---- DAAAAAAaaaaamn! Hello Mister. ❤
Oh please, like there aren't some of you though the same.
Yes, I am green with envy he is at Epcot. Haven't been able to get there in a very long time.
Sunday with Adam! Brilliant!!!!!
I absolutely lost it at the end in the Disney Gifts
Flynn Rider again 😍😂 haven't heard that name drop in a while. Hs
Adam thank you for sharing your experiences ❤ I love watching your vlogs especially when I don’t have the opportunity to go myself 💞
Loved your visits to the other souvenir stores and Publix. Brought back lots of fond memories for me. 😘
Think I might just go back to Pop next year because I love the Skyliner and Epcot is the park I go to most
Thank you for the great vlog Adam!
I've had multiple Genie+ reservations at a time when stacking them for later in the day.
In Disney gift shop you made me laugh 😂 the look on your face. Great video
Pretty sure I have that Mickey mouse keyring with a letter from 30 years ago 🤣
I am really excited to watch this vlog I can’t wait it looks amazing already and it has not even stated yet xxxx
I hope you find someone to sit on that bench with you! Thank you for all your inspiration 😊
Coronado springs>literally every other resort! Love it there!
Me and my wife were there this day and ran into you in Connections. You have use Mooooooorning pins. Look forward to the rest of the vlog series!
Test track single riders usually 10 mins and often in same car if 2 go in together anyway
Love your videos. This one was especially great to watch, the flow of the footage was excellent. 😊
You have now experienced what the rest of Florida is like 😂
Exciting.
Seems like the mole under your left eye (or on screen, our right side) seems to have changed in appearance - may be worth getting it checked out just in case.
Yahooo Adam , best vlogger ever. I so appreciate your perspective.
dang, lots of Wade Ripple moments going on this trip. So very happy for you :)
Excited for the new adventure! I'll be there next week😄
Good afternoon Everyone!
Hii Adam🌟Thank you so much for this lovely vlog😍🙏🏻So happy for you that you had such a good day😍.

Adam - I loved your pumpkin candle - I had to buy another one. Ordered a Christmas one too ! Thoroughly enjoy your Vlogs - cheers
Awesome vlog‼️💯 Adam your vlogs are my happy place ‼️💯and definitely favourite Disney vlogger ‼️💯
I love your Disney vlogs so much especially your longer vlogs xxxx I am massive fan of your xxx I have got all your books now xxx you bring me into a world of magical and joy xxx thank you 🙏 so much for being on TH-cam xxx you are an inspiration ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for showing the wheelchair accessible boat on the Gran Fiesta Tour. I assumed it had no access, so have missed it out the 3 times I’ve been to Disney World!
You are such a delight, Adam! Loved this vlog!
The music... the music.... the music... That song is a great one anyway but the version of it they've done for the Moana area is brilliant...
