Today was the day in our trip that I think I was most looking forward to; this was the day we were going to Blizzard Beach Candi, however, wasn't too excited about it so we made a compromise .... he would go to the water park if I would let us sleep until our "natural alarm clock" woke us up. I was more than willing to agree and, of course, I woke up looooooong before the Hubby did
In keeping with my promise I decided to wander around the resort taking pictures with the plan of buying breakfast on our my back. Getting ready that morning was great - ponytail, no make-up, shorts and t-shirt - no need to be pretty when I was gonna be gettin' wet I wrote a quick note to Candi, in case he woke-up while I was out, and headed out on my adventure.
Upon leaving our room I saw the saddest thing ever
Do you see it?
Ok, now you definitely can't miss it! But, no worries, we aren't leaving Disney we are just switching resorts the next day After leaving the room I make a photographic journey of my explorations.
ENJOY
We were on the third floor and this was our aerial view of the lobby when we were waiting for the elevator each day. I absolutely love all the details of the wood work and the chairs and the fireplace and the chandeliers .....
Even the elevators fit into the theme!
Once downstairs I spent some time exploring the lobby of the Villas. I'll be honest, it isn't as grand as the main hotel, but it is definitely charming in it's own right. I absolutely loved all the seating areas they had everywhere
The fireplace was always going whenever we were around and I loved how it made everything seem so peaceful and relaxing.
Off in one corner of the lobby or main area of the villas
Around the corner on the opposite side from the last sitting area.
An entire row of game tables - they had checkers and chess and some other games that I'm not sure of the names of?!? I wish we would have made time to come down here and play one night, but, we never did. Guess that's for next time!
Right as you walk in the main doors of the villas.
And of course, a "welcome home" right beside the doors on the outside of the villas!
I just think this is one of the cutest signs ever and another piece of Disney detailing!
Outside the gift shop in the main lobby at Wilderness Lodge - don't forget to rub his nose as you walk by!
A look at just a portion of the grandness of the main lobby - it is absolutely breathtaking in person!
It made me feel happy inside when I saw the American Flag by the massive fireplace.
The sitting area in front of the fireplace
And, of course, a look at the whole fireplace in all it's beauty!
More hotel detailing - on the way to Roaring Forks
The hot springs - it starts inside the lobby and then flows outside, turning into a waterfall that flows into the pool.
The bridge over the hot springs and a look at where it starts its way outside.
The pathway that we took each day to get to the villas - I truly felt like I was walking into a whole different world each time we came back. It is completely wooded and beautiful ........
