Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it's really impressive especially all of the carvings all throughout they're amazing towards the back of the lobby

I am 100% blown away by the fact that I just saw so many deer right there actually look at this

I still think the Bears are not trustworthy so but that being said we all and we'll see you guys tomorrow

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want to see fireworks from the cabins, look for units near the Contemporary/Magic Kingdom view.
The end of the trail is worth walking even if the sign says it ends, as you might see a large group of deer.
