Somewhere I posted some Christmas pics in a trip report from New Year's 2007/2008.

Pics are on page 2 and 3.

zoomaster · 05-28-2009

Yes great pictures...already told the DW that if we can not stay there that I at least want to visit it there...that will be my ultimate resort to get to stay at.

Grand Californian, Wilderness Lodge, and Animal Kingdom Lodge all share the same architect. Actually, if you look really hard at the main lobby of the Grand Floridian, and ignore the Victorian decor, it's almost identical to AKL.

Meanwhile, GC is supposed to be an example of Craftsman style, while WL is supposed to be the Old Faithful Inn and an example of US National Parks lodges. GC has a more finished look while WL is more rough hewn look and feel.

By the way, today is the WL's 15th birthday (it opened on May 28, 1994)

asp8tis · 05-29-2009

Spectacular! We'll get to see it in person for the first time in Aug. when we eat at WK, can't wait!

cjtownman · 06-01-2009
