Bay Lake Tower
I previously mentioned that for our New Year's trip, we stayed in the nicest hotel room either of us had ever seen. This was the view from the balcony in our room on the top floor. I think that sums it up right there.
All told, our Grand Villa at Bay Lake Tower encompassed two floors, included three bedrooms, a kitchen and living room (with two-story window looking out onto Bay Lake), multiple bathrooms, and several balconies. It also included a number of awesome friends and the most fun party I've ever attended. It was one of the few times I didn't mind just hanging out at our hotel despite knowing that the Magic Kingdom was only minutes away.
It also was tough to move from this room to a studio at Old Key West on New Year's Day. That said, we enjoy just about every Disney resort for what it is, and I still have a blast staying at the All-Star Resorts...especially thanks to those awesome $59/night off-season rates!
Every resort has its own strengths and weaknesses!

museumPASSmusees 2022 - CENTRALE for contemporary art - La Vie materielle
La CENTRALE presente l'exposition La Vie materielle (09.12.2021 au 13.03.2022) un dialogue entre 12 artistes, italiennes et belges, autour du lien entre l'art et la vie.
La Vie materielle, intitulee ainsi en reference au recueil eponyme de Marguerite Duras, explore et relie cheminement artistique et experience personnelle.
Tant le livre de Duras que les oeuvres de l'exposition se definissent par un dialogue constant entre le quotidien ordinaire (dont le corps est un element crucial) et la vie interieure et intime, tiraillee entre ses aspirations profondes et la realite.
En reutilisant, hybridant, detournant ou decontextualisant des matieres organiques, des objets du quotidien, et en leur offrant une nouvelle vie qui transcende leur usage habituel, les artistes de l'exposition depassent les clivages entre les disciplines artistiques.
A travers des narrations provocantes ou interrogatives, des mises en scene d'une grande fragilite ou pleines d'energie, ces oeuvres tres diversifiees (assemblages, videos, dessins, sculptures, installations) melent le fini et l'inacheve, le vu et le ressenti.
L'exposition implique et interroge plusieurs sens, en particulier la vision et le toucher, a travers un parcours qui saisit le spectateur/ la spectatrice a l'interieur d'une sorte de toile d'araignee, emotionnelle et mentale, avec l'espoir qu'a la fin du parcours, s'ouvriront peut-etre de nouvelles perspectives sur notre maniere de percevoir et de lire notre ' vie materielle ' commune, et le lien que l'art permet de creer entre notre corps et notre vie interieure.

The Irish/American artist Sean Scully unveils Human: an exhibition of recent works both new and unseen pieces at the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, as an official collateral event during the 58th Venice Biennale. The Benedictine monks resident at San Giorgio promotes the dialogue between the church and contemporary artists, within the cultural activities of their non-profit programme, the Benedicti Claustra.
This celebrated abstract artist has created a series of new sculptures, paintings, drawings, and watercolour works directly inspired by the monks’ Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, their vast illuminated manuscript collections and the 16th-century Benedictine church. Scully’s instantly- recognisable visual vocabulary of horizontal and vertical stripes, which reflect fifty years of constant refining, will transform every corner of the High Renaissance church, designed four centuries ago by the iconic architect Andrea Palladio.

About the Building
In 1998, the Contemporary Jewish Museum selected architect Daniel Libeskind to design its new home, which was to include an adaptive reuse of the landmark Jessie Street Power Substation, designed by Willis Polk in 1907. In his design for the Contemporary Jewish Museum, his first commissioned project in North America, Libeskind responded to the Museum's mission to be a lively center that fosters community among people of diverse backgrounds through shared experiences with the arts by focusing on the celebratory nature of the Jewish experience.
Unveiled in 2005, Daniel Libeskind's design for the new Museum combines the history of an early 20th-century San Francisco landmark building with the dynamism of contemporary architecture. The design for the new 63,000-square-foot facility marries many of the character-defining features of the original substation, including the brick southern façade, trusses, and skylights, with bold contemporary spaces. The building, with its integration of architectural styles, emanates a powerful connection between tradition and innovation and reflects the Museum's mission to celebrate Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas within the context of 21st-century perspectives.
Architect's Design Concept
The building embodies a number of symbolic references to Jewish concepts. Most notably, Libeskind was inspired by the Hebrew phrase "L'Chaim" (To Life), because of its connection to the role the substation played in restoring energy to the city after the 1906 earthquake and the Museum's mission to be a lively center for engaging audiences with Jewish culture. The architect based the extension's conceptual organizing principles on the two symbolic Hebrew letters of “chai” (life), the “chet” and the “yud.” From the outside, the extension is most remarkable for its unique shape, as well as its skin: a vibrant blue metallic steel, which changes color depending on the time of day, weather, or one's vantage point.
Featuring over 10,000-square-feet of exhibition space as well as a multipurpose room, the new facility greatly increases the Museum's space for exhibitions and innovative programs in visual, performing, and media arts. At the heart of the new facility is a large education center, which allows the Museum to provide ongoing education programs in conjunction with its exhibitions for children, youth, adults, and seniors. The new facility also includes the Museum Store and Cafe on the Square with seating on Jessie Square when the weather permits. (source: CJM website)
