No, but been there, too. My kids love that damn wizard game.

It does look a lot like that hotel, good call. I stayed there one night when I was 11. I got up the next morning to skip some stones in the lake. The stones and the conditions were perfect and one of my throws skipped 24 times, which was the best total I've ever gotten. It's been all downhill from there...

Great attempts, but not any of those locations.

Is that a couple of the halls/bldgs on the campus of Univeristy of Wisconsin-Milwaukee?

That hotel looks incredibly nice, as well as the other hotel on Lake Louise. Waiting for a groupon to take advantage of either one of those!

Curiously, I thought that the building in the background looked a lot like Frasier Hall at KU, but the rest of the buildings don't fit in there.

Perhaps the site of the first NTX con??

No to both. It is one of a kind.

okay, going with my theme of looking up from some swimming pool at a hotel ...  

the Disneyworld Wilderness Hotel in Orlando???



(I realize that's not a swimming pool!)

Nailed it! It is an awesome place to stay, by the way. Mr. F wins the prize (watch you mail).

So there you have it, a massive and luxurious resort and nefarious slavers...

Dang it, and I honeymooned in the Wilderness Lodge too!
Sheesh, don't tell the missus.
