My Disney Birthday Wish Came True! – June 2025 Trip Report (Updated 6/15!)

Well, now I don't know if I want to stay at Coronado. I was all in until you mentioned the AC bang. Yikes!!! If you were staying longer than 1 night, that would have had to be fixed. Did you mention it to anyone at the front desk before you left??

Wilderness Lodge is one of my bucket list resorts (although I doubt I will ever be able to afford it.) It just looks so beautiful AND peaceful. Maybe one day.

Oh, and I love your earlier suggestion of a FARTs trip, but alas, I don't think that falls into the right schedule of availability during spring semester. And this spring is going to be a doozy! I have new classes to teach and right now, it looks like 14 hours of my work week are booked for just class time. That doesn't count meetings, prepping for classes, grading, or production managing. Not sure when I will get everything done but I guess that is future me's problem. LOL.

Oh no! Don't be put off because of that, besides the AC the room was amazing! Yeah, if I had been there for more than just that night I would have insisted it be fixed, Disney is exhausted enough as it is without losing sleep due to a noisy AC!

It is soooooo beautiful. We'd been talking about staying there since the 90s, so it's been a long time coming! I'm so happy we finally got to stay there. Hopefully you'll get to stay there someday soon!

Aw, I'm sorry! Do you get any school breaks you could take a quick trip? I get it can be hard to find time as a teacher, both my parents teach and the only reason my mom can do these trips is because she's semi-retired so only has a fraction of the workload she used to have.
