Spring Break 2025 ended yesterday for us. We're all still in recovery mode, though it seems to be easier for the kiddos to bounce back.

We started vacation by driving down to Wilderness Lodge from Chicago. The drive went better than we expected aside from the final two hours when we were stuck in traffic and kids became stir crazy. It was kind of worth it when Google took us the back way and we got to see the backside of Space Mountain.

After arriving to the resort room, Kid 2 immediately went to the balcony to watch cast members clean the roof. He's an old man at heart.

There's nothing like seeing your name on the Disney TV. #waltdisneyworldresort #wildernesslodge #disneyvacationclub #dvc #disneykid #disneyadult #travel

It’s 10pm, I’m officially calling it. Tonight… is #WLTree night!!! 🎄 For my new followers, or new-to-the-tradition folks, this is the greatest night of the #holiday season. It’s the night they construct the enormous #Christmas Tree at the #WildernessLodge at #WaltDisneyWorld.

It just so happens that 2022 is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the first time we celebrated #WLTree, the live-tweeting (and now Mastodon-ing) of this event.
