Enjoy the Great Outdoors in Style at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

 The 7-story lobby is inspired by the American Northwest and is adorned with nature and Native American designs. The detail work in the lobby is simply breathtaking. It’s also a great place to grab a seat in a comfy armchair or a rocking chair in front of the 82-foot tall fireplace and enjoy some good old-fashioned people watching. The lobby is where guests can check in and get assistance from the concierge. It is also where you can do a little shopping at the Wilderness Lodge Mercantile. The totem pole outside the Mercantile makes for a great photo op with Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Humphrey the Bear. The details of the resort don’t stop at the lobby. Keep an eye open as you make your way around the resort or you may just miss some of the exquisite decor! From owls and buffalo on lanterns to a moose on the fire valve; nature inspired designs are all over this resort. This deluxe resort has 727 guest rooms that continue the theme of nature and Native American designs. S...

5 Planning FAQs for Walt Disney World Guests

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can be very overwhelming for a first-time guest, and may even present challenges for repeat guests.   Walt Disney World vacations offer complete customization and can provide some of the best vacation experiences; however, this plethora of choices can also confuse many guests.   Although there are unique circumstances that come up, guests are united in many questions.   I have compiled just a few of the frequently asked questions by guests planning a Walt Disney World vacation.   1.      How far in advance should I book my vacation package?   Some people are planners and book their vacations at least a year in advance, while others are more spontaneous planning a vacation mere days before traveling.   To really take advantage of all the benefits of booking a Walt Disney World vacation through Disney, I recommend booking at least 6 months in advance.   Dining reservations open up 180 ...

Whipping it Up in Adventureland!

Everyone has a favorite snack when they go on a Disney vacation and mine is the Dole Whip.  Well, that’s probably me and a million other people, too!  In Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland at Walt Disney World, you’ll find a small store front called Aloha Isle.  Chances are, you may have passed by here and wondered why so many people were standing in line knowing there is no ride there.  This is so much better than a ride!  It’s one of several locations that you can get this soft serve frozen pineapple dessert along with Captain Cook’s at the Polynesian Resort, the Tiki Juice Bar in Adventureland in Disneyland and the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. If you find yourself in Adventureland, I’d highly recommend treating yourself to one,  whether it’s in a cup by itself or as a float in pineapple juice.  Either way, it is absolutely delicious!  They also have vanilla if you don’t care for pin...
