Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort | Relaxing Wordless Wednesday

Tweet

Welcome! I'm glad you stopped by for the Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop, where bloggers get together and link up their #DisneySide Wordless or Almost Wordless Wednesday posts.

Each week we have a prompt or theme. This week we are enjoying Resorts and Relaxation. With Mother's Day coming up this Sunday I am wishing all of you a most relaxing day. I hope you get to Disneyfy it. I've been very fortunate to spend a few in Walt Disney World and they were the best!

Our DVC home resort is the Boardwalk Villas but it is not our number one choice of relaxing resorts. That honor goes to The Wilderness Lodge, then The Boardwalk Villas, The Grand Floridian, Yacht Club and then my favorite but not my husbands, Animal Kingdom Lodge. Notice a trend here? We enjoy being surrounded by water.

Relaxing at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is easy. Not only are the pools and hot tubs delightful but there is a nice sandy beach and paths through the woods for running or leisurely walks. Ferries are always at the ready for a ride across the bay. What a wonderful way to get around. Renting water mice and buzzing around the bay is a must!

Here Paul is sitting by the fire enjoying some down time while I roam around the lobby snapping pictures and browsing the gift shop.

A relaxing way to end the day!

Everybody neat and pretty?

Welcome, thanks for stopping by the latest edition of The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic.com where each week we gather to blog hop, link up and share our #DisneySide Wordless Wednesday or Almost Wordless Wednesday Disney related picture posts.

Today's theme is "Resorts & Relaxation". I must say, flipping through my vacation pictures was very relaxing. As usual, I couldn't pick just one photo for today. So here is a collage of some of my favorite relaxing resorts. Not shown here is The Wilderness Lodge (I'll post one or two later) which is my new current favorite on land and Disney Cruise Line ships that are my favorite floating resorts. I cannot wait for our next land and sea vacation!

What Disney Resort is your favorite for relaxing?

Now it's time to link up your Disney photos and hop with us.

Date Night at Disney

Tweet

My favorite resorts for date nights are The Yacht & Beach Club Resort, The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and The Wilderness Lodge with The Yacht & Beach Club resort having the best atmosphere. I love strolling along Disney's BoardWalk and stopping in at Jelly Rolls for a dueling piano sing-a-long.

At the very top of my favorites though is Palo on the Disney Magic and Wonder cruise ships. Palo is the adult only restaurant serving northern Italian cuisine. Every dish we've ever tried there has been delicious and served beautifully. Palo is located at the top of both ships with a panoramic view of the top deck and sea beyond. Seatings start at 6pm and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. This has been a must do on each of our 4 cruises.

While on the Wonder we enjoy heading to Route 66 for drinks at the Cadillac Lounge and dancing at Wavebands. On the Magic the Beat Street section and the Rockin-D Bar offers up grown-up music and fun...and we have fun. On our last cruise my husband sang karaoke while dressed in a pirate outfit, complete with parrot and eye patch. That was a memorable date night!  

Do you have a favorite date night spot at Disney?

Today we are taking a virtual tour of Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts and I get to discuss my favorite, Disney's BoardWalk Resort.

Escape the fast pace of the theme park and relax in the old fashioned charm of a 1930's Mid-Atlantic New England style seaside resort. The BoardWalk Resort is nestled on a 25 acre lake within walking distance to Epcot or Disney's Hollywood Studios.
