Thanks for the reminder of the aerial views! Here is another one, you can zoom and move around a lot.

While we're on aerial views, I like the Windows "Virtual Earth" 3D views:

Incidentally, I went to their site a few days ago and found a terrible version with animated advert banners at both the top and right of the screen, but they seem to have gone away now. They were really distracting and made the maps much harder to use, so hopefully they won't be coming back!

Great slide show!!! We stayed at POR in October 2007, so right before you did! Pictures bring back so many good memories of that resort for me! I want to go back!!!!

In November of last year I walked around taking some flip videos.

Forgive the "shakey" quality - I was hobbeling around the world having had an injured Achillies tendon but maybe it will give you an idea how lush the landscaping is.
The first building you see is building 18

and on this one I had to "yell" at DH because he doesn't get it that there's a difference between DL and WDW. He calls anything Disney Disneyland

Hi! Gorgeous picture!!! Which mansion is this? Thank you.

 

[hogwartsdropout]

Thanks! It was Parterre Palace.

This was our building at Magnolia Terrace.

We'll be staying in AB with a Trundle (5 in the room) in September, and I would LOVE to see some pictures of the interior with the trundle in use Maybe not IN USE, but open, kwim?

Also I'm very much looking forward to having a hot-tub soak post touring, so if anyone has pictures of the hot-tub(s). that would be SO GREAT! Are there more than 1 hot tub, if so are they only on Old Man Island?

THANKS!

Thanks! Magnolia Terrace is my first choice request - with Acadian House 2nd. I know it's just a request, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

The only hot tub is on Old Man Island at the main pool.

Thanks!!! That was exactly what I was hoping for! I want to make sure my nephew will have room to sleep on it.


DJ Disney Kid> Thanks for the info on the hot tub. How sad there's only 1 I wish i wish i wish there were more. Oh well. One more than the values have anyway

My nephew who is almost 16 and about 5"7' slept on the trundle this past trip and said he was fine. I think after a long day at the parks just about anyone could sleep on it if you are dead tired!!

How many hot tubs can you fit into at the same time anyway?
