You're welcome DizneyNutz. I'm glad you liked them! I have a lot more of them to share.

Our trip was so amazing! I didn't think we could top our last trip as far as special memories, but we did! The WL at Christmas time was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. One of my favorite things to do every morning was to get up early, before everyone else, get a coffee and go down to the special 4th floor sitting area over the entrance. I would just sit in a rocking chair, near the fire and look out over the lobby and take pictures of course!

I love your photos!!! Your dtr's dress is too cute !!!! Thanks for sharing !!

Thanks DisneyNDecember! I'm glad you liked them.

Thank you GoofyFairie.

This is how I took the shot.

Strap on a parachute. Tow by a boat in the lagoon doing about 20 knots with a 650 feet long rope. I was floating about 500 feet high up there.
I did this twice while I was there. The first time, I only took a small point & shoot digital camera with me up there. I shot mostly digital video. I still has all the video files. If some one want to see it, let me know and I will post them on my website. Let me warn you, they are big files. Some are over 100 mb.
The second time, I say to heck with it, I took my full size digital camera set up with me. It was a little hairy because the wind was low. I was afraid because I thought I was going to fell into the water with the camera. It can happen. Luckily, the wind did pick up and I was flying again.

omg

I kind of wondered if that is how you got that shot.

Dory will just enjoy looking at yours and never plan to try to get that photo of her own.

Just thinking about it I have to find a happy place...find a happy place. I'm such a big chicken!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks Steffiesunshine. The Belle dress was a big hit when she met Belle and the Beast. The pictures are priceless!

topdog that sounds awesome! I would love to try that but I think my DH would have a heartattack. He doesn't have the same sense of adventure and fun that I do. I haven't had a chance to check out your site yet, but plan on it soon.

To all that have posted pictures on this thread THANK YOU! I love the LODGE. I have had the pleasure of staying there on both my trips. I miss this place like you can't imagine. Most days it is helpful to look at all the beautiful pictures, on occassion it is torture! I hope the pictures keep coming.

What an awesome view from up there. DW and I were actually planning to do this on our last trip, but opted for the Ice at Gaylord Palms and the Segway tour at Epcot. We still have the parasailing on our list for furture new things to do.

The geyser from our room balcony.

Especially this one. It shows how high the Geyser is actually erupting. A viewpoint tough to capture from ground level.

Hey - Topdog - is that mountain looking thing in the top center of your photo Mt. Everest? Or is my sense of distance off completely? Great photo by the way and I did check out your site. I just can't get enough of my WL.

Thanks cciglian. Yes, that is the Mt. Everest Expedition. It was still under construction at the time, 09/2005. Good eyes.

I will be going to WL next month so that means more pictures. No parasailing this time though.
