A few Photos from this weekend's trip to WDW - The DIS Discussion Forums

mikelan6 · 06-07-2009, 04:17 PM

I just got home from a few nights at WDW to celebrate Gay Day.

Here are a few photos I took. I hope you enjoy them.

The view from my room at the WDW Swan

At night, I could see the Illuminations fireworks from the room.

Main Street USA during Extra Magic Hours

A little character show welcomes guests to the Animal Kingdom

Mickey rises from a platform on the Tree of Life

Over at the Wilderness Lodge ...

Pete should start saying "Stay out of the damn pools!"

The Liberty Belle at the Magic Kingdom

I stayed at the Swan this past Friday night on their $119.00 special and had the same view - 12th floor - room 1260. It must have been and upgrade since the room I booked was supposed to have a standard view. We had a view of Epcot like in the photo above and Hollywood Studio - overlooking the Fantasmic stadium - unfortunately there was no show on Friday night.

Wow! Great pictures! The view from your room at the Swan was amazing! You had a better view of Illuminations than I had when I was in Epcot!

I was also on the 12th floor. The photos of the view above are a side view to the East. There wasn't much of a view straight ahead and to the West, I could indeed see DHS.

Nice pics. Looks like you had fun! I remember the ducks loved the pool when I was at the GF last summer.

Fantastic pics!! Thanks for sharing with us. What a view you had.

Love the fireworks picture- it's beautiful! We love Illuminations and didn't get a chance to see it during our trip last week. It's our 3 year old's favorite show, so it would have been bittersweet without him there anyway...
