Post-Trip Report: Alex’s Gran Destino and Swan Summer (May/June 2026) — Where I Long To Be: A Magical Trip Report Podcast

Alex is back and this trip involved a lot of pivots! So if you like hearing about how plans change, this is for you! They enjoyed three nights at Gran Destino Tower over at Coronado Springs for the first time, followed by a night at the Swan. They got a chance to have some time at Disney with their Florida local friends and then wrapped up their trip over at Cocoa Beach (including some time at Kennedy Space Center!).
