Wilderness Lodge Photo Thread- Please feed my addiction!!

[diberry]

Here's some pictures of Whispering Canyon Cafe. Make sure you ask for a table in the main dining room. That's where all the fun's at.

ITA. We just got back from a wonderful stay and that was my only disappointment. We booked a table but were put in the area partitioned off from the main room so we could hear all the fun going on but couldn't see or be a part of it - very disappointing but I didn't know there was a separate section when I booked the table. Will post pics of the Lodge in a day or so. Apart from that meal everything was perfect.

I'm glad you like the pictures. Unfortunately, we didn't just recently return from WL. Those are pictures from our 2004 trip. But, in January we're going back to WL and staying in a 2 bdrm villa. It's my favorite resort. Here's a few more pictures to feed our WL addiction. In 2004 we were there for 14 days and had booked a Silver Falls pool view room for 3 nights, and a standard view room for the rest of the trip. Disney doesn't like to move you, so got to spend the entire trip in the pool view room. Our room was 4th from the end nearest the boat dock. Our room number was 2011. It was a great location.

Thanks for sharing the pictures! 14 days at the lodge - what fun. We've never done more than 5. And how great that you didn't have to change rooms. Love to see more pics when you get back from your January trip!

This is just outside the lounge bar - great themeing!

One of the many delights of WL is the wildlife - extremely tame rabbits and lots of ducks who like to use the pool!!! Even when there were loads of people in it they came in for a swim too - the kids loved it as you can imagine!!

I'd certainly recommend this Segway tour. It starts from Fort Wilderness and you learn about the plants, trees and wildlife as well as visiting the horses at the Tri-Circle D ranch and going across to Wilderness Lodge - and it's a lot of fun along the way with very fun guides and even Disney trivia quizzes! (You can just see the Contemporary Resort and Space Mountain in the background).

Most afternoons they have duck races for the kids - they line up and drop their ducks into Silver Creek Falls and the winner gets a small prize each time.

Oh, my gosh -- we love the duck races!! I have pictures from 7 years ago when my dh was the "duck dumper" and ds (age 8 at the time) was taking part in the race! What a great memory!

You know, this actually freaked my youngest DS out so much on our last trip, that he got out of the pool and wouldn't get back in. Personally, I thought it was funny. It's not like he's not used to them. My DH's parents have 6 ducks, along with at least a dozen chickens and 2 geese.

What great photos of the segway tour & the duck races, you guys are sooooooo fueling my Wilderness Lodge addiction, thank you !!!! 102 more days until my first stay at Wilderness Lodge (or even a deluxe resort for that matter)!!!!!!!

For all you fellow Dis friends, be sure to post your photos when you return, so we can all have our addiction to WL fed!!!

This was where we had breakfast every morning right by the pool and in the company of several ducks and rabbits - perfect!!!

There are loads of small fireplaces all over the place with beautifully themed fireguards:

and cosy alcoves like this one:

Just got in from the WL last night! I have pics to post...but, I've got to dig the camera out from under the laundry first.

Be back soon with fresh WL pics!

This is the amazing ceiling in the Territory Lounge bar - it's enormous - this is just a small part of it:

Even the handrails in the lifts (sorry - elevators! ) are themed:
