I have to admit. This one was a totally emotional purchase. Wilderness Lodge was my family's favorite resort. My dad ABSOLUTELY loved it. I grew up with my family taking very long 2 week trips minimum to Disney in Fort Wilderness in a pop-up camper. After Dad sold the camper we upgraded to stays at the Wilderness Lodge and loved everything about them. Well into my 30's, we celebrated huge milestones there. My brother's engagement. My parent's 35th wedding anniversary. Anyway, he died very unexpectedly this year, and I know 2020 hasn't really been the best for anyone. He was really looking forward to taking the family again, and even better, this time his only granddaughter (my brother's daughter, she's 2). Well. After he died, and we got locked down, I decided I was going to do it. Bought a big resale contract, and then decided I needed a direct contract. Paid a mint for it, but if it was a choice between Riviera and Copper Creek, it HAD to be Copper Creek. I don't regret a penny. I can't wait to take the huge trip, my mom, my brother, sister-in-law, niece, aunt, uncle, cousins. I'm going to cry my eyes out when we walk through those gates.
Thanks for reading, I'm so emotional!
