Gran Destino Tower King Room at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Disney's Gran Destino Tower

Disney’s Coronado Springs wasn’t my favorite resort the first time I stayed there, but the next visit had me hooked. The resort had so much to offer in terms of amenities that you couldn’t deny it was a great resort.

When Disney’s Gran Destino Tower was built, it just added to the benefits of staying at the resort. I was very impressed the first time I stayed in the tower in 2019. I did a full review of the it and the standard room from that trip.

Can you work remotely from Walt Disney World?

When I finally returned to Walt Disney World after being away for over 18 months, I had decided to make it a longer trip. I was going to work remotely from the resorts. Since we were still “working from home” at my unmagical job, I figured I could make my “home” in Orlando.

The big question was which resorts I was going to stay at. WiFi would be a necessity with all of my video conference calls that take up my day. With Coronado Springs being a convention hotel, and having the NBA stay there, I figured it was a safe bet to spend 10 days there.

Would Disney WiFi hold up?

Given the length of time I was staying AND that I would be in the room working for a full 9 hours a day, I knew I needed space. I debated staying at Pop Century instead so that I could use the Skyliner after work, but I quickly decided it wasn’t enough space and the WiFi might not be sufficient.

The king room was perfect for what I needed. The extra large desk gave me plenty of room to set up.

The lamp had plugs and USB outlets so I could set up both of my laptops and phones without having cords everywhere. I’m not going to lie – having the TV overhead provided a little background distraction for some boring meetings!

Not having the second bed meant that there was space for a seating area. This was perfect for me to relax and enjoy a cup of tea before I started work, and at the end of a long day.
