Your Favourite Resort In Your Back Garden.

[real mad hatter]

No I haven't lost the plot,well not yet anyway. Last year we decided to do away with our back lawn,( I hate cutting grass ) and stone chip the entire area.About 10 metres X 15 metres.We have a wrought iron bench/seat,a small gazebo,and wall flower boxes with various shrubs & plants.But this morning I went to our local garden centre and saw this water feature.Its a water wheel like the one at PORS ( not as big of course ) But the water runs down a shoot onto the wheel and makes it turn.Awesome I thought,so it's now in my back garden.( not going to tell my DW the price when she gets home ) Anyway,this has given me the idea to turn he rest of my garden into a Port Orleans Riverside theme.So two questions..First those of you who have stayed at Riverside,what other suggestions can you give me to transform the garden into my favourite resort? And also,what would you do to make your garden area look like your favourite Disney resort.?

Nothing in my back garden, but inspired by the sparkly tiles in Epcot, near spaceship earth, I have installed twinkling LED lights in the tiles in my bathroom!

We actually talked about when we get a house, making a pool like at the beach club! Don't think that would work but it would amazing! I would do a grand floridian theme garden - I love the lavender and roses!

I'm with Hatter here. I love Riverside. Prob because I spent a Christmas trip there once with my parents back when it was Dixie Landings. I remember the resort being really quiet and peaceful. I loved the cajun style theming.

If we are doing the mansions I'd say the Gazebo must be painted white, you need some benches around a cement pond or fountain. You'll need a mini scale wooden bridge but sadly, what is all over around the mansions??? Grass.

We did the same thing with our backyard, no longer year long mowing as we live in FL. We used white river rock. I like your idea to make it look like Disney. My husband loved POFQ. Will have to see what we can do with that theme. Next trip to Disney I'm taking pictures of areas I like to try and do.
