My family went to go attend a seminar at the Hyatt Hotel of Orlando, which was right across the street from the Walt Disney World Resort. The seminar was semi-boring, and when it was done, I walked around the hotel and got a few pictures.
This is the main entrance lobby. Tons of tropical trees, four parrots, a pond, and a few other things.

Then I wanted to get a big overview shot of the entire lobby, so I went up to go on an elevator.
What followed was scary. I am not fond of heights, and in my folly of photography picked a two-digit floor. I was taken to the sixteen floor and rode with three other guests in the elevator. Not pretty. By the time the guests left the elevator and I was on the balcony, I was scared out of my shoes.
The height was very dizzying, and I felt light-headed and was walking a little unsteadily. I had to get down, but I managed to get these two pictures.

Now to get down; I realized one somewhat careless mistake I did; Hyatt uses the keycard for your room door to activate and use the elevator!! I could call it, but I couldn't use it.
So I started to think. There HAd to be a fire escape for every floor, just in case the elevators didn't work. So began my search. I finally followed "EXIT" signs to the end of a dark hallway with rooms on each side.
Then I started to walk down from the 16th floor, and make my long walk down the stairs.
Around the thirteenth floor, the stairwell to other floors continued on to a long hallway which led to another flight of stairs . This was unusual, since I've never seen a stairway like that, so I took a picture of that.

On the way down, I found one of these. Not sure exactly what it does for that part of the building, but I know it has water. Sprinkler system? Maybe...

This is what I was aiming for...from the 3rd floor.

Finally, I ended up outside the building in the kid play area where the stairwell exited. Will post more about what I did later on later!!
