Grand Destino is my favorite, and the lobby smell❤❤❤

[@thediztasticfamily]

LOVELY DAY!!! The hustle and bustle has been real around here, so this mama is enjoying a much needed JL binge today!!!!❤

[@JenLefforge]

Oh I love that!! Make some time for YOU!’

[@CyndiAKADisneyqueen]

Good to see you back at Disney World. I love watching it through your eyes because its a luxury view of Disney that I will never get to experience. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@JenLefforge]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@chevonnewallace8370]

I love all your videos but there is just something so comforting and peaceful about your Disney vidoes, I can't help but get so excited to see one!

[@JenLefforge]

I’m so glad!

[@joannewilliams41]

How exciting 😃❤️❤️

[@leonmalett4189]

New subscribers my wife and I loved you in the Adam vlogs so we decided to follow your adventures and you didn't disappoint these are wonderful keep them coming love from Pennsylvania 😊

[@JenLefforge]

Welcome!

[@chrishintz1077]

Will cast this one onto big screen for those great views from lounge. Thanks.

[@arlenemadden8707]

Love Steakhouse 71! I have only eaten the bar/lounge area. Great cocktails and yummy food!👍🏻😎✨💫

[@lisacastillo7220]

Poor stella. Our last trip the flight got delayed and delayed and delayed. She waited for us alllllll day. Felt so bad for her waiting! She was so sweet!!

[@JenLefforge]

I think anybody who picks up at the airport has a special kind of patience! So grateful for her.

[@lisasproul8027]

Love your Disney vlogs!

[@JenLefforge]

Thank you, Lisa!

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

Awesome vlog ‼️💯😅😊

[@carriemartellWDW]

I love Coronado springs! My favorite resort! Granted I’ve never stayed at a deluxe resort, but out of the ones I’ve been this is my favorite! Thanks for taking me there today Jen! 😊

[@JenLefforge]

I’ve stayed at all the Deluxes and this IS my favorite!

[@carriemartellWDW]

@@JenLefforge I love that!!! 🫶🏻

[@jillp1762]

Stella and Orlando Transportation by Mike are the best. Loved our recent stay at Gran Destino Tower. Found all of them thanks to your videos.

[@JenLefforge]

Oh I’m so glad!

[@dianebalinski3390]

Your pure joy and enthusiasm brings a smile to my face. Enjoy your time there. 💕

[@willapanzer4233]

OMG, we were there at the same time - there, ring Disney!!!

[@lizwright8613]

I usually listen to you while cleaning, but today I watched while crocheting and it was just lovely to see it all.

[@JenLefforge]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the visuals AND the audio!

[@ThisIsStacy2791]

No matter how many times you enter magic kingdom the excitement of seeing Main Street and the castle just brings overwhelming joy! Can’t wait for the vlog where you and Adam meet up! Yay!, 🤗

[@JenLefforge]

It’s so true!

[@sade66119]

Also, on the refrigerated medication tip, if you have injectable medicine, they will bring you a sharps container for free, call housekeeping, moms diabetic and Disney does not want their cast members getting poked 😅

[@JenLefforge]

So important!

[@sarahcooley104]

Awwww! Disney friends (we say chosen Ohana) and fabulous Disney youtubers are such treasures! What a fun vlog of a magical day!

[@JenLefforge]

IT WAS VERY MAGICAL! Thanks, Sarah!

[@AuntDana]

Always love your solo Disney trips! On my bucket list! Thanks for the inspiration Jen💕

[@liliherndz5792]

Ms JEN “ I am HAPPY for YOU “ that YOU are Sooo HAPPY 💞 Enjoy and BE 🥳 HAPPY

[@sonyastodghill8328]

This vlog made me so happy. 30 days until we’re back in the Disney bubble.

[@JenLefforge]

I love to hear it!

[@carriemartellWDW]

Yay!!! Hope you have magically wonderful trip!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

The Chronos Club is seriously incredible! We got to tour with some friends and it’s ridiculous it’s not a deluxe resort. And so fun you got to see Allison and Susie! We always love getting to see them.

[@Heidi-457]

We used Transportation by Mike based on your recommendation. Stella was our driver for both arrival and departure. She was fantastic! It was such a wonderful experience that I will continue to use them.

[@JenLefforge]

It’s a splurge for sure but no better way to start the trip off feeling pampered!

[@CarissaHelmer88]

Loved all of this. Allison's luscious locks are just beautiful, so happy for her and glad you guys finally got to see each other.

[@JenLefforge]

I know we kept missing each other the last few years and it's been super annoying

[@Chelle99]

You give me confidence that fun last-minute WDW trips can happen…

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah I shocked even myself but it ended up just wonderful!

[@leighnewman6160]

Our favorite resort. That is the standard view, the other side of the Tower is water view. Many prefer standard because you can see the Epcot fireworks.

[@JenLefforge]

It’s so much better!

[@jenniferrundle6870]

Ha-just saw Adam's new travel vlog drop at GDT and I suspect I'll see you two pal around soon!🤩

[@JenLefforge]

Yup!! He’s up next!😂🥰

[@trishsp3160]

So good to see Alison (she looks great) and Susie. I don't think Alison vlogs anymore, and I don't do any other social media-type stuff, so it was really good to see her.

[@JenLefforge]

She’s doing great - they both are - and it was so amazing to catch up!

[@colleenm6662]

Stella!!! She’s our favorite driver! She always has snacks. My husband loved the veggie puffs!

[@JenLefforge]

LOL THAT'S AWESOME

[@keriannebrown]

So excited to watch these vlogs, Jen! I would love to stay at the Gran Destino but husband won’t agree to it because he travels so much with work and doesn’t like seeing all the business folks while on his Disney trip. He wants to escape any reminders of work 🙃😆

[@carriemartellWDW]

I’ve stayed there a few times and honestly the only group I ever really noticed at the resort was the cheerleaders from cheer competition. Never even noticed any business conferences. Maybe your next trip you can resort hop there for bit to check it out.🤷🏻‍♀️it really is a wonderful resort. Lots of variety.

[@jennyvanburen8496]

Awwww. Feels like home! ❤

[@Ana_banana_ut]

I was totally thinking “Jen, you better get some dessert with that tea!” And you did 🙂❤️ Looks like a great start to a fun trip!

[@JenLefforge]

Of course I did!😂😎🥰

[@triciamartin6393]

I love this resort!! It is breathtakingly gorgeous!! I love the Chronos club. Delicious food and wonderful staff!!

[@JenLefforge]

The staff was incredible!

[@majorhollingshead5906]

It’s a beautiful resort. Love it. ❤️😘

[@JenLefforge]

It’s just so magical!!

[@olafpamela]

I ❤ staying In the tower😊 I dream is to stay concierge here🤔😃 HI Susie and Alison🤗🧡 Thanks for sharing your adventures 🤗🧡

[@itsjustmetamz3102]

Looking forward to seeing what you all do and you get to catch up with Adam ❤ love that

[@bethifoody]

Cool dining trick! Someday I'll do a solo trip. I've tried planning them before but always end up with friends joining me. Life doesn't suck!

[@JenLefforge]

That's awesome!

[@emmamarshall3854]

Can't wait to see you vlog with Adam again

[@reneep1031]

We are at CSR staying club right now for my 50th birthday, which was yesterday. Headed home today though.

[@JenLefforge]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Oh my gosh you’re going to love your 50’s!!!!

[@reneep1031]

@@JenLefforge thank you!

[@deancoffman8150]

One other thing. I 100 percent agree the boats running between wilderness lodge and fort wilderness were sorely missed (from someone who stays at the WL often. I will add the ship to resort perk is the thing I miss the most. I honestly won’t buy things in the park anymore.

[@LyndaCOLBY]

Wish I was there and could see you..

[@deancoffman8150]

We almost always end up in magic kingdom on a party night. I almost always schedule a dining reservation between 6 and 7. (This years is at liberty tree at 6:30). It’s a bit of a hack to get the most out of our park day and to head back to the hotel at the normal time for us. They get pretty aggressive in herding you to the front starting about 7, but you should see how are later than that. Walking with a purpose does no good at 8. They aren’t rude but they are persistent.

[@JenLefforge]

I don’t even like people being persistent with me.😂🥰

[@elainearvidson1918]

All my troubles melt away when I step foot on property. I get that same giddy, contented sigh you do Jen. I'm going to Orlando for 10 days around Thanksgiving but won't be staying on property (not my choice!) and I'm pretty salty about it. I wonder if anyone would even notice if I disappeared for a day or two and went on my own?

[@JenLefforge]

I mean leave a note somewhere where they won’t worry but….😂

[@carriemartellWDW]

Oooh I so feel you! (I love how you referred to feeling salty about! ) We were gifted a stay off properly for next summer for our 20th…. I’m So bummed we will not be on property 😩! But if it’s how I can get back to Disney… I’ll take it!……. Until next time😏 Maybe I’ll have to make a resort reservation for dinner or breakfast or something !

[@elainearvidson1918]

I'm angling for dinner at Sanaa one night. Maybe I could book myself a room at AKL and just quietly excuse myself to my room after dinner?

[@gretchenmittelstaedt6703]

Gran Destino club level 🧑‍🍳

[@JenLefforge]

Just so good!

[@lizzieizzard]

Because your such a beautiful lovely lady all the best karma comes your way - what a great travel day xx

[@LorettaCorona]

ji jen love your room I think Adam had the same building because he showed us his view and was the same as yours 🐡

[@JenLefforge]

YUP! He'll be in next week's vlog! We had a wonderful time and got to hang out quite a bit.

[@chrishintz1077]

I’m wondering what your Riviera dvc train case thinks of the side jag to Coronado? ;). Have case will travel. Looks like a good foodie choice here.

[@JenLefforge]

I cheat on her a lot LOL

[@Indigolden]

Did you meet up with Adam? He was at the same resort in October. You two were so fun together on his vlog.

[@JenLefforge]

I did! He will show up in next weeks vlog

[@Indigolden]

Yay!@@JenLefforge

[@marjielalonde3875]

OK so I`m trying to keep up with you, and I do realise that things are shot at different times; but weren`t you just in Athens?😂 Were you at the Destino at the same time as Adam? His trravel day posted today.

[@JenLefforge]

Yes and yes!

[@gMagicScott]

Between you and Adam posting videos today at Coronado Tower, I almost want to switch my upcoming All Star Music stay to the Tower… But it’s a $1,300 upgrade… 😬

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah it’s a moderate but that doesn’t make it the best deal…but a lovely one!!

[@gMagicScott]

I stayed there last November and it was wonderful (except for Hurricane Nicole stopping for a visit)

[@carriemartellWDW]

@@gMagicScott oh no! I hope you still had a magical vacation!
