Nice, they have the black tarp down from the second floor. Getting closer....

Yes, they are making great progress. You can see in the rooms and the second floor and most of the first is done. They even have the TVs on in some of them

Here’s a couple of pics:


As for the Geyser, we all feel it is weaker than usual, and this morning I found a clue. There is a hole and a broken pipe they are working on near the pump equipment:



I suspect it will be performing better soon. It is pretty impressive that they can keep it running even while working on it.

Quick question! We have placed our first order with Dizzy Dolphin and it includes WINE! I had to send them my drivers license to verify my age, but for the order delivery to WL, will there be any issues with me picking up the order from Bell Services? I won't arrive until 3pmish and my order should be there before lunchtime. Last time we just picked up the order from Bell Services and wheeled it ourselves up to our room on their cart.

THANKS!

Yes, that should work no problem, and save you the $6 fee they would charge if Bell services delivered it to your room. We went ahead and had them bring ours up, but now that the grocery service has seen your ID, the wine should not cause any problem, unless Bell services breaks it. We had that happen a few years ago, and they made sure to replace it with a bottle of the same stuff.
Now it is time to go take some more pictures. With the wind chill it feels like 36 degrees. That’s some authentic theming, I better bundle up...

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing. I’m currently looking at 12+ inches of snow out my window. I’d love to be in Disney right now.

It is right above the front entrance doors to the lobby, on the 4th and 5th floors. Two of the fireplaces are there as well.

Shhhh @GrandCalifornian - you are giving away Lodge secret spots.

Shhhh @GrandCalifornian - you are giving away Lodge secret spots.

Yeah, that is true, but some spots are still more secluded than others...


Also you know it is cold when the Welcome Home topiary has to bundle up:

What the heck did they wrap that with? They raid a campsite at Ft Wilderness for some sleeping bags????

The frost on the roof is not something that you don't usually see in Florida. I hope the weather warms up for you.

Maybe but this is one of my home resorts so it's ok.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. We live in Orlando so we don’t stay for long periods of time on property but I love Wilderness Lodge. And yes, I had frost on my grass and roof this morning!! It was super cold for this Florida girl. Hope you are having an amazing time.

You’re welcome, I enjoy taking and sharing the pictures. We are used to coming in September, so any cool weather fees different for us, but this is really different. Today is beautiful though.

We talk about actually visiting more of Florida someday, but for now we are content to just visit Disney and Wilderness Lodge.
