Yep, this is a library table. But this is no library. That's the lobby of Disney's Wilderness Lodge in the background. Not a bad setting. One of the things I love about the Disney resorts are nooks and crannies like this. They're everywhere...in all of the resorts.

And I'm lucky enough to be at the resorts every day so if I need a place to get away to do some writing, it just doesn't get much better than this, in my view. This desk is on the second floor...just above the main entrance to the resort. There's a set of stairs next to the entrance to Whispering Canyon Cafe. When you get to the second floor, make a u-turn and you'll pass a small cozy fireplace and then you'll see this library table. There's usually someone curled up with a book by the fireplace, but the desk is almost always empty . The view is fantastic and if you'll love the music in the background...it's usually Aaron Copeland's Grand Canyon Suite.

Very cool! I've never been to the second floor in all the times I've stayed at WL and VWL. When we're there in December I'll have to check this out.
 
Interesting ! Will have to check this out next time we're at WL.

Hope you'll continue to let us know other hidden treasures at the resorts that you find :goodvibes
 

We haven't stayed at Wilderness Lodge in years, but your pic reminds me of how much we love it there.
 
snappy, come on board (I hope it's OK that the pay is cookies and diet Dr. Pepper!)
5for, I'll be glad to post more of these things. Glad you like it! I've been putting them up on the Owner's Locker Facebook page and they're also in Inside John's Locker. I wasn't sure whether people would like them here.

Thanks so much for posting this info. I've seen that stairway but never ventured up there. I'll have to put that on my list of things to do next time I'm at the Wilderness Lodge.
 
The little surprises are one of the reasons that I love VWL/WL. MG mentioned that little area a few years ago, and I went on a mission to discover them!

Thanks for posting that pic:)
I remember the 1st time I "wandered" around the WL and I was like a starry eyed kid. Ok....so I still am whenever I go:goodvibes

Another one of the reasons we love our home resort so much..........our family also loves to "discover" all the nooks and crannies of WL and VWL. It's definitely our favorite of all the DVC resorts......
 
Hey John!

So glad to meet you on June 9th!

Glad to see you posting some of those great views from the Purple Van:thumbsup2

DJ's DH looks forward to a visit to Celebration in December!

Please keep those photos coming ... and yes I will venture over to Facebook:lmao:
 
This is one of my favorite areas at WL. I love sitting in a chair or the sofa up there and overlooking the lobby. It is very relaxing and listening to the music is wonderful.
 
John, please keep posting photos like these. :)
WL is one of our favorite resorts. :lovestruc It holds a special place in our hearts as this was the first Disney resort that we ever stayed at. We loved all the nooks and crannies, but somehow we missed this one. Thanks to your photo, we'll be sure to find it on our next trip. :thumbsup2
