Fancy and Funky Outtakes!
Featuring all the fancy (and not-so-fancy) things
that didn’t make it to the Seven Seas Lagoon blog posts! Starring: vultures,
Disney Vacation Club, that mysterious water show I keep
mentioning, and gingerbread masterpieces!
So come revel in the best of the fancy and funky with me J.
Beach Nooks
There are some awesome beach nooks at the Lagoon
resorts, and one of my favorites is at the Contemporary. I spent the majority
of my childhood vacations in this hotel and on this beach, so it’s a personal
favorite for sentimental reasons as well.
At night, though, it’s beautifully
quiet with only the sound of waves and wind to guide you to sleep as you rock
on a hammock. The view of the night sky is breathtaking, and the Contemporary
herself is spectacular to behold. When I went to visit during the day though…I
got a little surprise. Well, a big surprise. A flock of surprise!

| Yes, those dots are birds! Are Hitchcock's birds making a sequel? |
Did the Contemporary become the Tiki Room and I
missed the memo? Flocks of birds, including vultures, descended upon the
resort. Funky stuff!
Me: Knock knock.
You: Who’s there?
Me: Interrupting table.
You: Interrupting tab—

| Not sure what that’s doing there, but okay. |
Had an impromptu photo shoot with a table. Win. A fancy win.
Bay Lake Tower
This resort is part of the Contemporary – sort of.
It’s Disney Vacation Club only, although I was able to walk around and explore
the outside. Like most other Vacation Club villas, they have their own pool (not to mention some fancy trees with seats one could sit by and write at if your laptop is able to
function plug-free).
Mysterious Light Show
It’s actually called the Electrical Water
Pageant, and it performs every night on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. It
opened in 1971 and is one of the few original shows still operating. I snapped
some photos, but here’s a video for your viewing pleasure.
Also, in my Contemporary post, I mentioned lots
of resorts partake in creating gingerbread masterpieces for the holidays. Well,
as I explore the resorts, I’m going to post pictures of them here. So first up
is the bare bones of the Grand Floridian’s gingerbread house. Can’t wait to see it
when it’s done! Update Dec3: Gingerbread houses can now be found on the Holiday Happenings post.
