@GrandCalifornian nailed it well. One of the best things about WL is the ability to find some serenity in an otherwise hectic World. Walk hand in hand down any pathway. If you take the covered walkway to VWL (what some now call Boulder Ridge), you'll see flickering lanterns and hear crickets, along with some strains of majestic music. They do s'mores at the fire pit near Geyser Point, too. Not just for kids, you can do a Hidden Mickey hunt with a hint sheet from the front desk. Sit in the Carrollwood Pacific Room in the VWL building--quiet, two fireplaces, and the ambiance is captivating. If you walk from one end of the cabins to the other (8001-8012 on the north side of the boat dock, 8013-8026 on the south side), you'll cover better than 1/4 mile, and it is lovely. . .though sadly the nature trail and bike path are closed. Grab a libation at Geyser Point and watch the MK fireworks from there--they pipe in the music. I believe there is a sauna in Sturdy Branches, too, or you can sit in the rockers outside the VWL building and watch people come and go. The best thing about WL is the ability to just be in the moment. . .a rare feat at Disney.
