  • At the beginning I was talking about spending the afternoon with Pam but I meant to say we were at Fort Wilderness and got it mixed up with Wilderness Lodge. That video will be out in a few days and I want to thank Pam again, it was wonderful finally meeting you and I had such a fun time! 💜

    I really liked this video as well as all the comments everyone made. What a great following you are building. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well as Merry Christmas to all or your followers. How cold was it out by the water? Patricia and I have been here a couple of times during our visits to WDW, ate at Geyser Point, but have not stayed at the lodge. Ho! Ho! Ho! everyone!

      Thank you Richard, I feel the same! I’m so fortunate that some of the coolest and chillest Disney lovers have found me and I love it when y’all interact too. 💜 The few people I have been able to meet so far have become fast friends and I can not express fully how it has made my time on property a thousand times more special… I loved walking alone for those past few years but now I feel that same peace and happiness but now as part of a small community and I LOVE it.

      Thank you Pam! It was a wonderful day, thank you so much for everything. 💜 WL was the perfect ending, I agree! 🎄
      That Boulder Ridge lobby has been my refuge many a time so I’m glad I could share it with you… oh and I just made you a mod so we will figure out how to do a chill live sometime. Both Buck and Chris are moderators as well. 😉

    I wondered if it was possible for the wilderness lodge to be any more beautiful than it already is. With the Christmas decorations, it’s absolutely possible! Just gorgeous! 🎄♥️🎅🏼

      I agree TinkerShell! Both lobbies are favorite chill spots for me anytime of year but tonight especially… walking into Wilderness Lodge and seeing that tree made me soooo happy!
      It’s always great to see you here TS, thank you and have a great night! 🎄❤️☃️❤️🎄

    I love how you started your tour in the DVC Boulder Ridge lobby. 😍 We stayed at Copper Creek last January and were finally able to rest a spell in the "train" room.
    Can I just say I am so envious of all the people enjoying WDW during the holidays? Wilderness Lodge is so festive! 🎄 I very much wish to stay at a WDW resort hotel for Christmas. I can dream, can't I? 🎄⛄️🏰🎅🏾

      Hi Deb! 😃
      I love the Boulder Ridge lobby too, one of the most relaxing places to chill that there is on property! I’ve watched videos on Copper Creek cabins and it has to be so sweet to stay there… I can dream about that as well! 😉 I understand how you feel completely, on my way to the car tonight I thought of how fortunate I am to have the kind of day I had today hanging out at FW and WL, meeting new friends and just soaking up the wonderful Disney Christmas vibes. It gets crazy busy this time of year but it’s worth it and I hope your Christmas dream comes true Deb! 🎄🌴💚🌴🎄

    Our favorite resort and one of our DVC homes. Walk-throughs like this are better than any other videos because they give you the feeling of actually being there in a realistic setting. Thank you for doing all the walking for us! 😅

      Thanks Buck! That means so much. You know I literally worked all day yesterday learning how to edit that Fort Wilderness video I just put out but these real time walks will always be my main thing, I enjoy it the same as you and I love being able to share that.

    This gorgeous lobby and then they add the tree. A Christmas tree is most appropriate in this of all resorts, blending in with the woodsy vibes perfectly. Really wish I could have smelled the gingerbread 😊. Love that gorgeous amber light when you’re looking into the resort, it screams warm and cozy.
    This was a good one. Hope you enjoyed your marshmallows 😋

    • @wdwexploreandchill
      @wdwexploreandchill  Před 8 měsíci

      Absolutely, that tree is stunning and it makes that lobby over the top gorgeous. I sat upstairs while I uploaded the video and got it ready to publish… warm and cozy for sure, I was reluctant to leave! This lobby has one of the strongest smells but I love it, and the gingerbread mixed nicely with it tonight. 😌
      I loved this walk, as short as it was compared to most and yes, I went back and toasted 3 marshmellows!!!!😍

    It’s been a while since I’ve checked in with your videos and it’s so nice to hear you engaging with your audience more. So happy to see your subscribers growing as well. I just got back from Aulani and I look forward to revisiting it someday w/your videos soon. Get that Patreon up and running!!

      I’m getting more comfortable with filming and I’m glad it shows, I’m very thankful for all of the growth this year!! I’m slowly learning to edit so I can try some new things and I’m having a great time with it. But I can’t get out all of the videos I want for everyone to see so I couldn’t imagine having a whole other tier to make content for. 😉😂
      Aulani is such a dream of mine, I’ve been to Hawaii once and if I make it back it will be to Aulani for sure!
      Thanks again for the feedback, I appreciate it.

    Love Boulder Ridge--feels so secluded and quiet compared to Copper Creek. One of the best resorts overall, in my opinion. It's only drawback is that of all the big 4, it's the one with no monorail access. The boats are nice, but they can build up quite a wait time. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Whispering Canyon Cafe. Yum.

    • @wdwexploreandchill
      @wdwexploreandchill  Před 8 měsíci

      Hello Daniel! 😃 I agree about the monorail but having boat and bus access only is one of the reasons it seems so peaceful and secluded I think. And being able to take the blue route on boat to the Contemporary and Fort Wilderness without having to go to the hub first is a big plus for me… I just wish they would make it an all day thing again.
      And yes, the food options are great! Between Whispering Canyon Cafe, Geyser Point and Territory Lounge there is so much unique and yummy options to choose from!
