Architect Designed Disney Resorts

More often than not, we don't know the names of the people behind the scenes who were responsible for many things we are in awe of with Disney. The resorts and the design of the resorts are examples.

The architect responsible for the design of the Wilderness Lodge, and whose company was also responsible for the design of Animal Kingdom Lodge (my most favorite Disney resort) and Grand Californian, died recently. Peter H. Dominick Jr. was responsible for some of the best resort designs for Disney.

For decades, Dominick designed hotels, office buildings, homes and interiors throughout the country. For Disney, Dominick's firm also designed the Animal Kingdom Lodge in Central Florida and the Grand California Hotel in Anaheim, Calif.

That's really unfortunate to have lost such a great mind and designer. AKL and WL are two of my very favorite resorts.
