Where The Tracks Lead – Wordless Wednesday

4 Comments

This week’s topic is Adventure.  Adventure means different things to different people.  Today’s picture is one of my favorites.  It was taken during our 2010 trip to Walt Disney World.  We were staying at Wilderness Lodge and waiting for the Magical Express to take us to the airport.  My wife and I were checking something out (possibly some topiaries, I can’t remember).  Our daughter, on the other hand, had found a different and new adventure….a set of tracks imprinted into the concrete sidewalk.

Disney Vacation Club Expansion – Wilderness Lodge

1 Comment

According to Tim K., who does a wonderful job with the http://www.dvcnews.com website, Disney Vacation Club has filed paperwork to expand the Disney Vacation Club offerings at the Wilderness Lodge.  This expansion looks like it will include 26 lake-side cabins.  12 of these cabins will be on the north-side of Wilderness Lodge.  They will have a view of the Magic Kingdom and presumably of the nightly fireworks show.  The remaining 14 cabins will be on the south-side of Wilderness Lodge.  These cabins will have a view of Bay Lake and of the Fort Wilderness area.

Wild about Wilderness Lodge

Nestled in the corner of Bay Lake lies one of Walt Disney World best resort properties…Wilderness Lodge.  With it’s Pacific Northwest theme, it is also one of the best resorts to stay at or visit especially during Christmas time.  It is warm, welcoming, and feels very open.

The ceiling in the lobby is very high and there is plenty of seating for guests to just sit and relax while waiting for the rest of their party.

Guide to Wilderness Lodge

6 Comments

Like I did earlier with a guide to the Port Orleans Resort, today’s article will be a guide to the Wilderness Lodge and Villas.  This is my second favorite resort at Walt Disney World behind The Contemporary/Bay Lake Tower.  When it is Christmas time, however, it moves past The Contemporary into first.  My family and I love the theming at Wilderness Lodge.  It is warm, welcoming, and feels very open.
