I stayed in the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort for two nights.
My luxurious Tower room only cost $34 more than the standard offerings.

I'm always on the lookout to find the best deals at Disney World.

Ever since Coronado Springs Resort reopened in 2019, with the added Gran Destino Tower, the resort has been a top option. I think it offers the feeling of a deluxe resort for moderate-level prices.

I've always stayed in the standard rooms. But in January, out of pure curiosity, I asked how much more a room in the Gran Destino Tower would be than my $103-a-night booking — expecting the answer to be in the hundreds.

To my surprise, it was only about a $30 upgrade.

Here's what my two-day, $137-a-night stay was like.

This tiny EV is the most ridiculous 'car' I've ever driven — but it's also a blast
