Photographing Walt Disney World Resorts from the Water

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Of all the forms of transportation at Walt Disney World, I enjoy the water transportation the most. You can choose to be in open air or inside comfort, they do not move too fast and there is something about being on the water which is relaxing to me. It is also a good time to … Continue reading "Photographing Walt Disney World Resorts from the Water"

Firerock Geyser at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The beauty of Walt Disney World is you can enjoy the parks and the resorts. Disney's Wilderness Lodge has so much to offer from a romantic dining experience at Artist Point, fun (and I mean really fun) family dining at Whispering Canyon, details to discover in the spacious lobby and a surprise by following the flowing spring. The spring starts in the lobby and flows out to Silver Creek Falls. People can slide from the falls into the swimming pool. Make your way along the boardwalk path to the hot springs (jacuzzis), you will come across a sign informing you of Firerock Geyser. If you ask one of the Wilderness Lodge's rangers, they will tell you the geyser erupts every half hour.

Wilderness Lodge in HDR

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I never seem to be at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort in the morning when the Sun direction would light up the side of the lodge which faces Bay Lake. In the late afternoon, the Sun direction makes it hard to photograph. The range of light is too large. Our eyes can handle it but our … Continue reading "Wilderness Lodge in HDR"

Think Outside The Parks — Part 1

Posted on by Gary Cruise
There are plenty of things to do at Walt Disney World without going to a theme park! A couple of years ago, while we were heading home from Florida’s Gulf Coast in our motor home, we stopped for a four-day stay at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Our Annual Passes had expired; we each … Continue reading "Think Outside The Parks — Part 1"

Experience the Flavors and Beauty of the Pacific Northwest at Artist Point

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
When it comes to an overall sense of grandeur, there are few places at Disney World that match the majestic beauty of Wilderness Lodge. I would go so far as to argue that no resort at Disney World goes as far as in being able to transport guests to another time and place and make … Continue reading "Experience the Flavors and Beauty of the Pacific Northwest at Artist Point"

A WDW Afternoon with new Hidden Mickeys

I wandered Walt Disney World recently to check out some new Hidden Mickey sightings. Sarah McGovern wrote me about a pine cone Hidden Mickey on the ground near Fort Wilderness. I walked the trail from the Wilderness Lodge to Fort Wilderness to find the pine cone image. This trail has a dirt path segment that … Continue reading "A WDW Afternoon with new Hidden Mickeys"

Solo Trip to Orlando – Outlet Shopping & Disney Resorts

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Yes, gentlemen, I used the “s” word. No need to hide your wallets, I have your credit card numbers memorized and the stores thank you for contributing to Florida’s economy. My morning began when I woke up without any cell phones chiming or buzzers buzzing. I took my time, ate my Cheerios, and enlisted driving … Continue reading "Solo Trip to Orlando – Outlet Shopping & Disney Resorts"

Artist Point Restaurant in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The last time I enjoyed a meal at the Artist Point Restaurant in the Wilderness Lodge Resort, it was a character breakfast with Pocahontas and Friends. Quite a few years ago. On my trip to Walt Disney World last January I stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and decided to enjoy a quiet and elegant meal … Continue reading "Artist Point Restaurant in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort"
