Top 3 Favorite Disney Resorts

Tweet

This week's topic is our Top 3 Favorite Walt Disney World Resorts
Narrowing my list down to just 3 resorts was a challenge because I have wonderful memories from every resort I've ever stayed in. To help me along in my decision I've narrowed it down to 3 resorts I would enjoy staying in for Mother's Day Weekend.

► The Boardwalk & The Yacht & Beach Club - I can't decide, I loved them all! We are DVC members at the Boardwalk Villas and I've stayed in the Y&B a few times. I just love all the activites these resorts offer and the restaurants are wonderful too. Just like the GF, they are so full of things to do you could stay at the resort and skip the parks. I can't but I'm sure there are people who do;) 

It just so happens that yesterday was The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop and our theme for the week was Resorts & Relaxation. I chose 
►The Wilderness Lodge - This is my sons and husbands favorite too. It's rustic but grand at the same time. They love the "train room" and the family style restaurant,Whispering Canyon. There are so many different activities that we've enjoyed there from late night swims, zipping around on water mice, fishing or snuggling up by the fire reading a book. 

►The Grand Floridian - Such a beautiful resort. I know some people don't like it because it's so big but we stayed in the Sugar Loaf building and it was like having our own little resort. A few times a day a large buffet was offered for Sugar Loaf guests, set out beautifully in the lobby. Some of those days we actually cancelled breakfast reservations, there was no way we could walk through the lobby without having a nibble or two or three:) It was truly a magical vacation. I enjoyed the restaurants, listening to the piano player and orchestra in the lobby, the spa (just a pedicure) and the view of the MK fireworks displays. We stayed here before leaving for a cruise and will definitely stay again in the future.

Storm along the Bay

As I'm preparing for hurricane Irene to hit our area tomorrow I thought it would be apropos to post a storm picture for Flashback Friday. 

This was taken in August of  2000 while standing on The Boardwalk looking over to The Yacht & Beach Club. We (my sister, her children and my children) had just finished a fabulous Spoodles lunch when the dark clouds rolled in. Fortunately, we didn't have to go far to get to our rooms as we were staying at The Boardwalk Villas. Of course, I before heading to the room I had to grab a quick snap of the dramatic clouds. We didn't let the storm dampen our spirits though and continued having a fabulous time making happy memories.  


Be sure to hop over to Magical Days with the Mouse for some great Flashback Friday posts!



I hope everyone in hurricane Irene's path stays safe this weekend. 
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Before you go ~ I've been thinking for awhile of having a theme for each Disney Wordless Wednesday. A few of you already join me by posting your pics on similar topics and it's been a lot of fun seeing them. Here's how it might work. Each week l would pick a few topics and let you vote for your favorite theme for the week. You could still post any Disney pic wordless or almost. This would just be a fun plus for DWW. I've put up a poll at the top of the page and one on FB for a possible theme for next week. If the power stays on I'll post your theme choice here on Sunday night. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
