Where does the carriage ride take you?

[disneyworldgal]

I'm not sure which has the best route for the carriage ride: Wilderness Lodge, Riverside or Saratoga Springs. Anyone have experience? Perhaps the DisBoards have a carriage ride map posted online someplace?

We're staying at Riverside this Thanksgiving, so that was my first choice (convenience), but I thought that I might check into the WL since it sounds so "Thankgiving'ish".

Thank you for any help or input-

The only one I've ever done was at POR, and it was beautiful! I can't remember the exact route, but I do remember that we started off by the boat dock where they keep the carriages and went over the bridge by the mill, then over the next bridge (near the main pool) and we went right to go past the gazebo. We went all the way out to one of the main roads and turned down a smaller trail that brought us back to the opposite site of the river, which gave a great photo op with the river and mansions in the background. It was absolutely gorgeous, and the driver told us about the horses and some stuff about the resort as we drove along. It was good because it wasn't too much talking where you thought "omg would you please stop talking, you're ruining this!" but enough that you could have a conversation with whomever you're riding with and at pauses you could get some nice stories or factoids. Hope that made sense!

We took our ride at Riverside also, I was not impressed. I think the guide must have said all of 10 words the entire trip. Felt it was waste of money for the quick ride it was. Maybe he was having a bad day.
