I really want to stay at WL someday. I think the grounds are beautiful! Your room looks nice, except the bedspread. Is that a blue floral? It doesn't look very wildernessy to me.
IYay for the meet up with Pat. She seems like she would be a lot of fun to hang with.
Ahh...I can never get enough WL pictures. What a great resort. Sorry you didn't get the lake view, but I guess you can't win everything.
for a Poolrat Pat meet-up! Glad you two hit it off so well. And now that Cynthia's on board the fun can begin!
Merry Christmas!
YAY our meet!!!
Yup looked through my pictures and nothing Those 'ritas do it everytime.
I remember that eternal wait for the bus. Always the way right?
Wishing you and the family a Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Gals !!!!!
I grabbed a sandwich at Roaring Forks and found a table outside near the pool.
Our room
I kept wondering how two girls were going to survive in a bathroom with no storage space.
My solution - I decided to put the coffee table in there. Now we had a place to put our cosmetic bags. Problem solved and the BR was so big the table fit with no problem.
Really you don't like the ground floor? I do at WLR because it let me cut across the pool area and get coffee at roaring forks in the morning. But I guess at VWL higher would be better for the view. The trees are pretty tall already. Did you see any deer or wildlife while you were there?
I would have loved a bay lake view, but I was just happy to be off the ground floor.
hmm mental note to NEVER get an accessible room. no bathroom storage AND no closet? No thanks!
In actuality, it was a very big room I guess because there was no closet secondary to the size of the bathroom.
At the Bus Stop
I actually saw a bus pulling away as I walking towards the stop and yup, it was an Epcot bus. Figures. Drat!
Welcome to Epcot!
Food & Wine Displays. Very Cute!
I ALWAYS take a picture of this fountain......
and of this awning
I love this fountain, too!

Here are our liquor stores for the week
Do you think we have enough?

BTW - Where do you live in Kentucky? I know that's a weird question, but I am on this quest to visit Kentucky. I really want to tour the distilleries and the horse farms. I was planning to visit over labor day weekend (I know - that's 9 months away), but I figured out that Lexington is like 700 plus miles from Delaware. So I'm thinking I better wait until I have more time to drive there. Anyway - I have this "I want to visit Kentucky" obsession right now but have so many other long trips planned this year I am not sure when to fit it in.
Great update, MEK. I'm not sure I like the decor of the room...it doesnt' seem to quite fit with the resort.
You are very clver in solving the no space issue in the bathroom,
Beautiful pictures around the resort.
for meeting up with Pat. I know there's a picture later so I won't give you grief.
Glad that Cynthia arrived and you made your dinner and "love" the bar area.
Merry Christmas again.
Mark me down as another who didn't care for the room decor.
Wow, that's a lot of goodies to drink! No wonder you had such a fun time! It is a lot cheaper than buying drinks at the pool bar. DH liked the refillable mug, he would add bourbon, then head to fill with diet coke, then sit around the pool!
Just come on over some time, a visit from would be fun! I have seen a lot of the middle states, but I've been to your part of the country also. Every July 4 we take a trip that is in a 150 mile radius of our house. Thus all the trips to Ky & other nearby states.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Love, love, love Wilderness Lodge. Congratulations on starting for your first time as an owner there!
That was a great way for you and Pat to meet. Can't beat the Cava for good drinks with old (or new) friends!
Roaring Forks is one of my favorite QS spots at DisneyWorld.
I love being able to eat outside by the pool and enjoy the water falling over the rocks. [/COLOR]
[SIZE]YAY for your first trip to this "Home"!

That bed looks really small. Was it a double or a queen? We've stayed at WLR twice and I am sure we had queens, but that bed looks smaller.
Great idea!

ugh! I remember never taking the bus to Epcot or MK from there -- we just loved using the ferry!

Love starting out at "the ball". what is all over that first fountain? It does not look familiar to me at all.[/COLOR]
LOVE the liquor stash for the week. Enough?mmmm sure if you're also having drinks at F&W[/COLOR]
Merry Christmas Mary Ellen!

Great update and
I live in FARRRRR west Kentucky. About as far west as you can go before you get into Illinios. Mostly farm land. I am a transplant here. I was born and raised in New Orleans. Definately a culture shock, but I like it here too. You should absolutely make time to come and see it!
Memories of Wilderness Lodge!
I love your new updates! Your room looks nice and I love how you solved the bathroom dilemma.
I know I am a little late, but I wanted to wish you and your family ....
