The Pool at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

"Lake access, hiking trails, a standout pool and waterslide, free daily kids' activities, a great gym, and elaborate, Western frontier decor (including an explosive geyser) to keep kids enthralled -- all just five minutes from the Magic Kingdom"

"The setting resembles that of the great national parks of the Northwest, with towering pines, a spewing geyser, and rough rocky terrain surrounding a spectacular pool"

"Most of its tricks are in its dramatic atrium lobby: giant stone hearth, springs that flow to a thronged, geyser-themed pool area out back"

"For more sedate, but still casual dining, Geyser Point Bar & Grill serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an open air restaurant by the pool with views over the lake"

"Rooms can overlook the woods, the pool and creek area, or the enormous Bay Lake that you can explore by rental boat"
