Anyone know how far this is from Yellowstone (Old Faithful Inn)? I've seen it on the Adventures By Disney website and am curious.
We are going to YELL next weekend. The kids and I are going to see DH who is working in the Old Faithful district this summer. We are really excited about spending 2 weeks there. We also hoping to got to Devils Tower and of course will be driving through Grand Teton to get to YELL. I am just so excited I had to tell someone. We have never been.

The Lakefront Retreat is EXACTLY what I was planning to reserve when the dates "open up" next week. Could you give me more details on why you wouldn't do it again? What cabins would you choose? Something else at Signal Mountain?MrsPete-We were at Signal Mtn Lodge for 2 nights. We stayed in a Lakefront Retreat because I had to have the view everyone raved about. Looking back I would not pay that price again. I would stay in a cabin and still get the view by taking a few steps out the door. Very convienient to Oxbow Bend.
We're planning a month-long cross-country driving trip next summer -- something we've talked about ever since our kids were toddlers -- we've always thought we'd do it when they reached their teens, and those years are upon us. We're very excited!We are considering renting an RV instead of staying in hotels.

Also, the official website for lodging, activities, etc. is www.travelyellowstone.comMy family (me, DH, DD11 and DS8) are planning a trip to Yellowstone next summer. Probably early to mid-July 09, give or take. Normally I hate to travel in the summer, but we are going back on DCL in November 09.
We love the National Parks and are trying to hit a new one every year. I am just so overwhelmed by where to begin with Yellowstone! We've never been to that part of the country, and are very excited to go. We'll be driving up from Southern California. We'll probably have about 8 or 9 days total. We definitely want to go to Grand Tetons as well. We like rafting, hiking, fishing. We enjoy camping but I don't think we want to camp on this trip.
I need help! Can anyone suggest guide books, travel plans, or just places in general we need to see?
So far, Yosemite is our favorite National Park. Tuolumne Meadows is the bomb...if that helps! Great Smoky Mountains were way too crowded and touristy for our taste. yeah, I know Yellowstone will be crowded too! But it's so vast, I'm sure we can find hiking trails and lakes where we won't be surrounded by a zillion other people pushing past us.
rangermom, I noticed that you were on-line today. So I assume that that means that you are back. How was your trip to Yellowstone?
Ah, gee, rangermom-I wish I'd noticed this before we went to Yellowstone again in early June-we would have looked for your DH at Old Faithful. Working there must be so great. I think DH is as addicted to YELL as I am to WDW. We're already booking our THIRD trip there for next June. Although next year we'll go a little later in the month as we've had snow the last 2 years.
I'm planning a trip to Yellowstone for the family next summer. What are some things and places in Yellowstone that we must do? We've also talked about staying at a different hotel each night. Which do you recommend?
The trip was great! A little cold though(29-32 degrees on some occasions). It snowed, sleeted, or rained everyday for the 12 days I was there. DH called the day we left said that it was going to get to the upper 60's/ lower 70's that same day. All the rangers joked that we broght the snow with us (from where ), so I guess we took it back with us.
This was so weird to us. It has been in the 100's for the last month where I live. The kids loved it. A couple of days they shoveled the sidewalk to the Rangers' apartments. They thought it was fun and the rangers love it!
We saw plenty of bison and elk, one black bear, and one (well, the butt of one) grizzly bear. We went to Tower/Roosevelt to try to see some wolves, but as soon as a got to the Tower Junction it really began to snow hard, so we headed back to Old Faithful.
The kids loved the geysers. My daughter keep calling them "Juicy Geyser" from one of Dora the Explorer episodes. Even though the weather was pretty cold for our blood, we really got to see alot of the park. DS (9) wants to move there. All I could think was if this is summer, what the heck is winter like!
The Tetons were gorgeous and we also stopped at Rocky Mountain NP along the way.
