Video Wilderness Lodge Explorers - October / November 2017: Index

Hello! Welcome to my now complete trip report for our 2017 trip to WDW!

We stayed in the beautiful Royal Pacific Resort for two nights followed by Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort for 14 nights

I didn't write a pre-trip report so I'll do a brief introduction first...

My name is Kate, this is my sixth trip report. I'm the spreadsheet loving, Disney obsessed, planner, Youtube video maker, Instagrammer, Dibber, procrastinator, worrier and trainee Chartered Accountant!



Don't you just wish you could wear snapchat filters in real life?

This was my 11th trip to Florida and I was just as excited about this one as my first.

Andy, my hubby, super hard worker, wonderful Dad, a (great) big (bushy) beard, lots of (Disney) tattoos and has now been promoted to chief photographer and assistant planner, his 9th trip.



Izzy, our eldest, will go on ANY ride, stitch fan, roller coaster junkie, clever little sausage, her 7th trip



Imogen, our youngest, super confident, super tall for her age, comedian, roller coaster junkie, her 6th trip.



And on to the trip report itself!
