No matter how hard you might try to plan the perfect trip — things might still go wrong when you visit Disney World.
The most important thing to remember is to be flexible, and that’s exactly what folks had to do at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort recently. Don’t worry, we can explain…
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is home to gorgeous mountainside-inspired theming, stellar views, easy access to Magic Kingdom, and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat.
But, even in a serene place like this Disney hotel things can still go awry.
So imagine the guests’ surprise when the hotel was evacuated! A reader sent in this video to us showing folks being led out for their safety. Check it out below!
