Week 21 - Geiser and Disney Wilderness Lodge (May 26)

Today we took a trip to Wyoming... or was it Montana. Idaho maybe? Actually, we stayed right in central Florida and the magic of Disney transported us to western side of our nation. Where? At the Disney's Wilderness Lodge resort, of course (not to be confused with Fort Wilderness - Disney's campground).

This Disney vacation "lodge" is magnificent. I'm always awed by the themeing as we enter the 7-story lobby - complete with bubbling springs and a Disney characters totum pole. No trip is complete without witnessing the Fire Rock Geyser.


The Fire Rock Geyser at Disney's Wilderness Lodge resort offers guests an Old Faithful water spout experience. Located just behind the main pool, this replica of Yellowstone National Park's famous Old Faithful geyser adds to the unique charm of Disney's great outdoors hotel experience.

At approximately every hour on the hour Old Faithful, er, Fire Rock Geyser erupts shooting a stream of water up to 120 feet into the air. For some reason, I had memories of the geyser being a lot more steamier and magnificent than it appeared today. It was a bit windy today so maybe the water stream had been adjusted.



After spending time walking the great outdoors and the shores of Bay Lake, we treated ourselves to some self-serve strawberry frozen yogurt (ice cream also available) at the Roaring Forks quick-serve restaurant.
