while listening to mousehouse on live365. This is so cool to hear the same music played around the Wilderness Lodge and Villas while being on my favorite website, The DIS.


I can feel myself drifting through the Lodge, admiring all the artifacts. But the peace and tranquility only lasts a moment as I unknowingly drift closer to the laughter and rootin-tootin atmosphere of the Whispering Canyon Cafe. I admire people who can rest by the rocky fireplace thinking how great that would be to fall asleep with such ease.

But I journey on. Im off to follow the stream, leading out through the rocky terrain, down, down it goes. It falls into a brook, widening as it goes til it reaches the blue water below. I turn around to admire the Lodge in all its splendor just as the sun is setting. But the calm is interrupted by a geyser that erupts just behind me. And just as the calm was before, the geyser settles down and all is peaceful again.

Still the music plays, softly, not to be necessarily heard, like the perfect backdrop to a good movie. It sets the mood and yet Im not that much aware of it.

I mosey towards the wooded area by the lake. The lights begin to fade but not going completely out. The walk is still visible, so much so that animal footprints are still apparent and leaves that have fallen cover parts of the trail. A few are out braving the cool crispness of the air to take that last swim of the day. Still I move towards my destination.

The lights above flicker yet maintain a good flame to see by. Almost there. I go into the back door and think of bed. But the Iron Spike Room urges me in. I admire the train cars. I look at every picture of Walt Disney and think what a wonderful person he was and how it would have been to have met him, to tell him thanks for all the memories.

Its time for bed but those leather chairs by the fireplace call to me. Rest comes easy then. Hours pass. I come to and realize Im not in bed. Groggily I get up, move slowly towards the lobby, stopping for a second to look up at the beautiful architecture. But its time to turn in.

As my head hits the pillow, I think to myself, man it feels good to be "home"


I love that music!
 
What a great picture you have painted of the Wilderness Lodge and the Villas! It's almost like being there...

The WLV was my first home resort and I love staying there.
 
A note to all the WLV nuts out there, the music that plays around WL is playing right now from 9-10:30pm on www.live365.com

Go to place where they ask waht type of music you prefer and type disney. Then look for mouse house radio. It is a free station.

Have fun listening and remembering all those wonderful trips "home"
 

I'm glad you guys like the music. Its been a labor of love for me and my wife so far :earsgirl: :earsboy:
 
Hey Ian

Thanks for all the great Disney music!! It is especially wonderful coming from a fellow DVCer cause you and Jen understand the obsession with Disney. I will be tuning in quite often.
 
I downloaded the player and tuned in, but got nothing but a blank window. Does this play 24/7? Can someone please describe the service?

I am not computer savvy so dont know how much I can help. Do have dial-up connection or DSL. When we had dialup I could never get logged in. You need the speed to make it work I think. Hope this helps!

BTW we need to have a DIS meet soon. Any ideas?
 
Great images and memories... I can't wait!!! We stayed at the Lodge in 96 and it was a wonderful experience, so much so that I am purchasing at the villas.. can't wait!

Thanks
 
DVC Ian,

Thanks for the hard work!! :D :D :D

I love the channel, and have been listening to it for the last couple hours while surfing...

I'm a Disney music nut myself, and have quite a few Disney soundtracks that I frequently listen to...
 
I finally got it to work. Just had to tweak the firewall a little. This is awesome!!! I'm listening to Wishes right now. I wish I could find a way to pipe it through the whole house. Can't wait for the VWL music.
